Albert Einstein and what is Genius

Albert Einstein

When Einstein was a small child, it was difficult to assume that he would succeed in life. Einstein didn’t speak until the age of three and, moreover, he was autistic and dyslexic. At high school he often skipped classes, and that’s why he didn’t graduate. To show his parents that he was worthy, Einstein prepared for an English test on his own, and on taking it for the second time he gained a place at the Polytechnic in Zurich.
Albert Einstein said: ’Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.’
