THOUGHT OF THE DAY:\u00a0<\/span>Albert Einstein was one of the world\u2019s greatest scientific geniuses. He was also a person who had a difficult time with reading. In fact, when he was a young boy, one of his teachers told his father, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what he does, he\u2019ll never amount to anything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes our particular brand of genius isn\u2019t obvious to those around us. Whether it\u2019s obvious or not, we all have something ingenious to contribute. Genius isn\u2019t always about brainpower. For example, Mother Teresa\u2019s genius was in her ability to love. Listen to her words:\u00a0<\/span>Each individual person has been created to love and be loved – Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Christian – doesn\u2019t matter race – doesn\u2019t matter religion….<\/em><\/p>\n

Mother Teresa loved all human beings regardless of their race or religion. Her brand of genius made a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of sick and starving people. So don\u2019t ever listen to anyone who says you won\u2019t amount to anything, because somewhere inside you is genius. You just have to work hard to discover it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
