We lived for a few years in PNG. The Papua New Guinean people often struggled to meet the demands of our western-style work and culture, which often had the effect of making them look less capable. But I often thought, "put me in the jungle and see how stupid I look!"
Everyone has something that they do well, everyone. One of our life's challenges is to learn what that is in ourselves. Another, probably more important challenge, is to appreciate the individual genius in each of those about us.
I like that quote by Einstein! I don't know that I have individual genius, but I can definitely think of situations where I feel like a fish trying to climb a tree!!! :)
