This is a quote from Albert Einstein. I believe this to be true. In life many people feel they are not worthy of success or feel they can not succeed because they don't have specific knowledge about something.
This is not true at all. If you are lacking knowledge but have creativity you can become successful.
Many of the most successful people throughout history did not necessarily do well in traditional school. They may have lacked traditional knowledge but they had an extraordinary amount of creativity.
There are many reasons why so many super-intelligent people, and even geniuses, do not get good grades in school. First, research has now found that there are many forms of intelligence other than just rote learning ability. And, in fact, rote learning ability is a lower-level of intelligence function.
Creativity, the highest form of intelligence, is not recognized, measured or fostered by the conventional school system. Research is now suggesting that perhaps the majority of super-creative people are slower at rote learning than people of lesser intelligence.
History is filled with scientific geniuses who made pivotal advancements in the field of science, yet got poor grades in school.
I want you to know that even if you did not get good grades in school, even if people have told you that you were not going to accomplish something, even if you think your not smart. You can succeed. Just be creative.
