[quote=Anonymous]I have known (in a very personal capacity, not in a "I was their student" or "I saw them give a talk and met them") one younger person who was talked about a potential future Nobel winner. Yes, they went to the right schools and affiliated themselves with the right labs, but this person is also insanely self-motivated and always has been and has made tremendous sacrifices in the name of their research. They've also given up insane amounts of money to go to private institutions. This person was also probably the one person I know who was born a true genius (not just super high IQ or gifted but freak level brilliance in an area). [/quote]
