You always hear about how Albert Einstein failed math in school because he was a genius and it was too boring for him. Then there are those of us that failed math because we simply suck at it.
Of course, turns out that was a myth to begin with, considering Einstein had mastered calculus by the time he was a teenager. He would go on to develop equations and theories that have become fundamental to our modern understanding of the universe.
