      There is a gallery of famous people who were slow starters. Winston Churchill seemed so dull as a boy that his father thought that when he grew up, he would not be able to earn a living in England.

      Naturalist Charles Darwin did so poorly at school that his father once told me, " You will be a disgrace to the family."

      The famous writer G.K.Chesterton could not read until he was in the third grade. One of his teachers told the fat boy, "If we could open your head, we probably would not find any brain, but only a lump of white fat."
     The inventor Thomas Edison's first teacher called him a dunce.
     The genius Albert Einstein's parents were worried about his poor performance in school. He was good only in mathematics. In fact, he teacher asked him to leave school, telling him, "Einstein, you'll never amount to anything."
    Looking back now, we see how wrong the judgement was about all these men, who have made an undying name for themselves in history.
