Richard Feynman. His IQ only tested at 125. One of the most brilliant minds in history. Applied to Columbia University. And was rejected
Won a Nobel Prize in Physics. Einstein listened to his seminars and lectures given while he was still a student. Worked on the Manahatten Project and helped to develop the atomic bomb. And became severely depressed after it was used. Married his sweetheart despite her tuberculosis and the danger of being infected. Nursed her through her death from the disease. Turned down numerous prestigious job opportunities because he loved teaching. Still found time to work on his research that helped to advance technology and got him that Nobel.
And loved playing the bongos and tribal dancing and... spaghetti
