Einstein's quote reminds us to think twice before measuring ourselves and others against inappropriate standards.
Everyone has a different ability or particular "genius." Often, comparing ourselves to someone else's abilities might mean overlooking what it is that we are naturally more suited towards doing. In other words, stop being a fish-trying-to-climb-a-tree and embrace our own fishiness.
We are not all made to be theoretical physicists and so we should always aim for what we are good at, work hard for what we desire in our lives, and we must never beat ourselves up when we can't do everything perfectly….
I am often reminded that every person has something special about them, including the most difficult, impossible people that we may know. If we are able to find that something special, that genius, fishiness within them, and nurture it - rather than measure the person against inappropriate standards - we could make an enormous difference in the lives of those we meet and give each person the gift of embracing their own fishiness.
If we embrace and nurture our own fishiness - and then the fishiness within others - we can change the face of the world, forever.
