to make those talents a reality - we often call geniuses.

accomplishments in a challenging field, and changed the world
in some meaningful way. As vague as this definition may seem,
the essence of genius is limitless. There appear to be no bounds
to what geniuses can accomplish. To define it much further,
is to limit something that is supposed to be limitless.

of being at work. This same level of genius applies to the infinitely complex
intelligence in the design of our bodies and the entire universe.
Peter Ralston, The Genius of Being
Inspirational Poems
-
Genius is more a reflection of one's ability to assimilate beyond
that which can be obviously seen. It means that issues or problems
are the fuel or catalyst for positive change rather than a roadblock
to progress.
