Einstein was every bit as brilliant as you have been led to believe.
Einstein came along at a time when science was stuck. Measurements of the speed of light had been made and of some other phenomena and science was really unable to come up with a single theory to explain the results. The developing world of physics at the start of the twentieth century was broken up into pieces. There was a theory of gravity, a separate theory of atomic theory, and other theories around electricity, thermodynamics and optics. These theories didn’t tie together though, they were like islands that stood apart.
Einstein really started the process of developing the single huge theory of physics that tied it all together. He took the same information available to all the other brilliant scientists in the world at the time and came to a different conclusion. This isn’t a big achievement, it is monumental. There had been many other brilliant men looking at the problem of relativity and they had been at it for years. Hundreds of them, all with powerful intellects, and they were stuck. Then one man came along and solved the problem that they couldn’t, by himself, in less than three years of work.
Quantum mechanics, gravity, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optics are now all part of one theory. Einstein also got that unification going.
Now given the number of high-powered minds working on the problem it is likely that if Einstein hadn’t come along the problem would still have been solved. However it is also likely that it would have taken decades and many more people working on it. A piece of the puzzle solved by one scientist, another piece solved by someone else, until they got there. So Einstein only did what others would have done anyway. But he really did do far more than one mind had a right to do, in far less time. As well as relativity he contributed to atomic theory, quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory and others, often helping to tie them all together to work as one.
I think Einstein made another important contribution to the world as well as his scientific contribution. He showed the value of a single determined, hard working individual. When it was suggested to him that solving the problems of relativity was a work of genius he said “In that case genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Because the reason he was so successful wasn’t just because he was brilliant, it was also because he would not give up. He worked tirelessly for most of his life, wrestling with mathematics and physics, always trying to solve more problems. He never wasted his time here on Earth.
That’s an example to us all.

In addition to the theory of relativity, Einstein is also known for his contributions to the development of the quantum theory . He postulated (1905) light quanta (photons), upon which he based his explanation of the photoelectric effect, and he developed the quantum theory of specific heat.
