Summary

This quote by Albert Einstein suggests that everyone has their own unique talents and abilities. It implies that every individual is capable of excellence and possesses a form of brilliance within them. However, when we assess someone's capabilities based on criteria that do not align with their true strengths, it leads to misunderstanding and underestimation of their potential. Just as it would be unfair to expect a fish to climb a tree, it is equally unjust to measure someone's intelligence or ability solely based on standards that are not suited to their strengths.
