Einstein; Curiosity Killed the lights
Everyone heard of Einstein, but do they know everything about him? Most people would concede that Einstein is a genius. There's a twist when it comes to Einstein. My interpretation of a genius is someone who is close to perfect... perfect grades, perfect knowledge, perfect everything. But then I read about Einstein, I came to realize that there are actually others ways to define "genius." Einstein was actually slow surprisedly; He failed the placement exam for Federal Institute of Technology Exam the first time, but the second try he succeeded. I think that Einstein was not merely slow, he was just interested in things he found fascinating therefore he refused to try in any other subjects. One can argued that his equation extended our knowledge of chemistry, but one can also argued that his equation lead to "deadly violence." Nuclear bombs weren't developed until they discovered the usage of Einstein's equation. So is it possible to say that chemistry is what cause the unraveling of violence in the world?

I definitely agree with you on how there are other ways to define genius. Everyone can be able to define it their own way because no one looks at things from the same perspective and what seems right to one person may be wrong to another. We shouldn't prejudge and be bias towards people because we'll most likely be wrong, just like the way everyone was wrong in saying Einstein was stupid.
