Hey, welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little

better at life.

I'm your host, Cory Muscara.

In today's episode, we are going to talk about why everybody is a genius.

More to come on that in a moment.

Next, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells.

Okay, so I want to start by sharing a quote.

It says, everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,

it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

This quote is often attributed to Albert Einstein, but further investigation shows that we

don't actually know who originally said this quote, so we're going to keep it anonymous

for now.

Regardless of who said it, I think it packs a punch.

It makes me think of a lot of things.

One of the things that brings to mind is just the general education system and how often

it is evaluating people's unique genius based on predetermined metrics and the ability

to take a test in a certain way or to know certain subjects and with the exception of

certain schools, maybe like a wall door school, which can cost many thousands of dollars

a year, there often isn't as much creative freedom for someone to really explore who they

are.
