“Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work.”
Meaning:-This famous quote by Einstein gives a great message to all the students and makes them realise that they stand all equal. They should eliminate from their mind that CSE is only for talented nominees. No one is less capable than the other. The talent sums up only 1% in making the person a genius, the rest 99% is hard work and overcoming procrastination. Anybody can pass the IAS examination just by working hard and not being intelligent
