Inspiring and Awesome Friday

This picture was taken in 1927, during the Solvay Congress. Try and look at the picture closely, and see whether you recognize a face or two.

I was reading something on the internet when I found this image. And the author's comment on the picture really moved me. It did!
Here, let me show it to you,

" It is a remarkable collection of talent and I believe you now know a good bit about at least nine of these people. It is important to remember that they were normal, ordinary people. Smart, but no smarter than most of you in the class.

Many, if not most of them showed no particular sign of brilliance as children or young adults. Some did miserably in school. Many were excentric.

If anything set them apart from other people it was their ability to focus on a problem and work at it in the face of frustration and failure. I have every reason to believe that some of you will appear in such a photograph (or hologram) in the future."

The key points are focus and persevere.  What an awesome thing to share on this awesome Friday!
Have a good weekend!
