Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein.  He's man who everyone associates with being a Genius.  However, he didnt have the greatest of upbringings by any means.  He actually never said one word for the first three years of his life.  Many of his early teachers thought that he was complacent and did not have the proper drive to be successful.  Due to not meeting the required standards of the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich, he had to attend another school in Switzerland to finish his Secondary Education.  Still throughout his education, people thought he was too out there with his head in the clouds trying to come up with a theory that had no relevance.  Einstein persevered and developed the theory of relativity which many intelligent people still can't figure out to this day.  Albert Einstein overcame the odds of being viewed as not very Intelligent by his teachers and peers and became synonymous with Knowledge and Wisdom the World Over.  Enough Said.
