It would be great if we all came from model families where we had exemplary support from our parents. But we have average parents who, with good intentions, pass on their own limiting beliefs and inhibitions to their children. Albert Einstein was 3 years old before he started speaking a little. It took a few more years for things to really flow. The grades he had through elementary school made his teachers think he was retarded. When he took the entrance test at the Swiss Federal Technical Institute of Technology, he failed. The university where he ended up rejected his doctoral dissertation with the assessment: \"not relevant\". Later, when his \"Theory of Relativity\" was published, he received a little appreciation, but also a lot of opposition. His work was called \"worthless and misleading.\" \"Einstein has no logical mind at all,\" said his learned confreres. In 1921, Albert Einstein was finally awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. He was a professor in Zurich and Prague at the same time and is today widely regarded as nothing short of a true genius. 20% of self-made millionaires have no education. 10% never graduated. 1% has not even finished high school. Education and training are undoubtedly important parts of development and success, but there are apparently elements that are equally, if not more, valuable. Bill Gates left Harvard without a degree, and former US Vice President Dick Chenney never finished college.<\/p>
