Legend* said: "He was not born a smart boy. His cousin was. But the kid was curious. He came to his cousin all the time to ask for help when he could not understand something he had read. One day, busy playing, to brush him off, his cousin said: 'If you don't understand it yet. Why don't you read it ten more times?'. The kid was too naive to to be upset and besides, he admired his cousin's well-known smartness. He took it literally. From then on, whenever he had trouble, he just read it over and over again. He found out that the more he read, the easier he understood the books. And this made him love reading. So much that as a teenager, he took a job in a bookbinding shop so that he could read more books. Then one day, he thought about a problem mentioned in one of the books that many scientist were studying at that time. He thought of a solution. That turned out to be the cornerstone of the physics law of electricity and magnetism, the foundation of our modern life."
