This might be taking it too far, and I know this is not the point of this thread, but there is an interesting story about Einstein at school. The school he went to graded its students 1-6, and, up until the year Einstein went there, it was 1 = best result and 6 = worst result (I think- someone correct me if I am wrong, please!), but they changed it in Einstein's year. So Einstein got 4.91, which made people think he had failed, because that was how the school worked, but in fact he did very well (because he was a genius). Many people think Einstein failed school, and they say this to themselves as encouragement when they fail. But they are wrong. Still, interesting. Sorry for this digression
