Learning from the Life and Work of Albert Einstein …
How he learned, How He Mastered His Field [Med. Gray]
When Albert Einstein was a child, his parents feared that he might have a mental deficiency. He early efforts at language were a struggle. When he was in high school, he was not a great student. His grades were mediocre, he disliked the conventional ways subjects were taught, and he hated rote learning. After high school, he studied at the Zurich Polytechnic and when he graduated in 1900, he was near the bottom of his class. Does this sound like someone you would peg as a genius?

The answer has a lot to do with his near-infinite curiosity.
