    People are getting caught up on Einstein but it’s not about that particular man. It’s about being someone that can change the world. That is exceptional. That is beyond talented.

    When I was little I realized this when I was going to school. Living in a poor neighborhood I used to watch boys do insane flips and shit like it was nothing. Like Olympic level flipping.

    And it occurred to me that no one but us would ever know how talented they were because nobody was checking for us.

    That’s a really sobering thing to realize as a kid.
