It’s a myth that Einstein was a failure in school. A myth meant to calm the addled minds of those who do fail.

I was about to post something like that — Einstein did graduate. Also, Bill Gates wasn't a failure — he dropped out because he saw the opportunities the new microcomputers presented. Had he stayed, he likely would have been an IT manager, or a professor of computer science — making under $200 k/yr.
