Becoming a Genius

Commanding Respect and Relevance

Like every great thing, genius is a corollary. The effect of something.

The genius in everyone sits still untill it’s called, and effort is the guy that brings it out.

If you want your genius to show up, you need to make the effort.

Oxford Languages says a genius is an exceptionally intelligent person. Intelligence is knowing how things work enough to make them work better (my definition). It is knowing the concept enough to dismantle it and redesign it to solve problems and make the world a better place.

A couple of qualities are synonymous to the ones we refer to as geniuses (like Einstein), and it’s all wrapped in the word — effort. They study and they try things.

Becoming a genius will require a resolve to make contributions to the world through your skills or chosen field, and, fulfilling that resolve requires effort, more effort than everyone else.

It’s that simple, study and try things, and do it very often.

The price to pay is failure (perhaps a lot of it) and sometimes, quite an unusual lifestyle but it’s worth it because it counts, because it is a generous act.

You don’t have to win a Nobel Prize to be a genius. If you want to make a difference and make the world a better place, and you are studying and trying many ways to do that, you are a genius and it’ll pay off. It always does.
