Richard Feynman:

I was born with an ability to do mathematics, which is what they want in physics. I can think of problems and solve them. So what? I'm not very good at anything else. I can't dance, I can't sing, I can't tell jokes very well, I'm not a good administrator, I can't do anything else. I'm just a physicist.
