So very true. I teach children & adults with Intellectual Disability and am constantly amazed and humbled by their abilities. It is society that 'disables' them.
I had one my University teacher saying that his little nephew had more knowledge than him in one area... dinosaurs! This is a fun illustration of the quote, but still true :)
Exactly. Genius though is more than merely being academic or learned. To me it's deeper and perhaps more basic than that. Like the ability to bring a smile to someone's face, to light up a room with their presence ...
This is a talent too, for sure! Just today a few hours ago I have come across this picture in Instagram https://instagram.com/p/02nUTFBQZg/?taken-by=instagram It is not exactly what you are saying, I understand, but pretty close :) It for sure illustrates the quote!
I see the link did not get included. This is the story: " It all started with a dream to become a trapeze artist. “Well, that didn’t go well. Every time I would come out, people would laugh and I would never be able to get on the trapeze,” says Gaby Munoz (@chulatheclown), who lives in Mexico City. “At first, it was frustrating, but then I understood the great feeling I had by making others laugh."

Thank you, Katie!
I know that autistic kids/people always have a talent.. good at learning languages or at programming...

This is a really great quote. Fish might not be able to climb trees, but they have many different abilities that others do not.
Fish is a great example! After all, Einstein was a smart person :)
Pretty pendant to illustrate such a wondrously wise quote!
