Einstein is one of my heros. One of the reasons for that was that he looked at physics from the standpoint of a child. He realized that a solution to a problem cannot be reach as long as you continue to look at it from the same perspective as the guy that confused it in the first place. He often looked at a problem as one that was seeing the world for the first time. It could be said that the "level" in which the genious chose to solve problem was a lower one. Not assuming that you are going to solve it because you are "so damb smart, and educated".

I was going to post a simular quote here as Sketchy, but he beat me to it.
