I must just be on an Einstein kick lately, but I've actually adored this quote since I heard it:
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
This quote is very true. Society today judges everyone by their book smarts. Our entire culture is based on how well we can store and recall information that a board of education deems "relevant." Not everyone is blessed with the ability to just learn things at the tip of the hat, but I do think that everyone has something to contribute. This just goes to show that we shouldn't judge people just because they aren't just like we are or not as smart as we think they should be.
