In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.

I am the person I want to be. I got to teach and had some of the greatest times in my life learning that I had some teaching skills and doing some incredible things teaching 200 hours of computers a year to fifth graders, making them experts at certain things.

If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you'll develop skills that other professionals don't have.

Not everything in life can go perfectly according to plan. I mean I didn't keep every girlfriend I ever had.
