In today's world, we all live with the burden of feeling that anything is possible if we're only clever enough, smart enough, work hard enough.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.
There is something to be said for people who have to work hard, be creative, produce what they have with little - or no - means. Those of us from poor homes have the advantage of thinking for ourselves and of knowing that when times get hard, things could always be worse.
It's not very hard to be clever. It's far harder to be simple, obvious, and meaningful.
No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius.
I don't have to be smarter than anybody else. I've just plain worked harder and longer than anybody else.
Geniuses always think it's easier than we make it out to be.
We can all be geniuses because one definition of genius is the infinite capacity for taking pains.
The desire to seem clever often keeps us from being so.
Everybody can be smart.
If you want to succeed in the world, you don't have to be much cleverer than other people. You just have to be one day earlier.
