Как будет по-английски: "Умнейшие ученики не смогут открыть своих возможностей (умственных, типа гении)"?

Talented students can not reveal their capabilities, because they are often misunderstood. Nobody likes clever men, even the teacher does not want the student to be cleverer than him. Clever men offer interesting schemes for solving problems, but they lack experience for testing tasks, and teachers do not take smart students seriously. Talented students are always shy of their abilities, even Mendeleev had a grade three in chemistry, because he was modest. Clever men are always aware of new discoveries, but few of them perceive by people.
