The Genius

    I think you find genius not in a moment, but within momentum. Build up momentum with 10,000 tries. Reframing failed efforts can inspire something truly ingenious. Inventions of genius give way to fresh slants and perspectives that create results. Yes, not everyone is a genius, but then again, we use about 8% of our brains. Einstein used 14%. Dig deeper, find the courage to be original. Motivation is a choice, it's not a momentary feeling.

    Another thought provoking article!

    Going with geniuses, my sister found this one quote from Albert Einstein when she did research on him last year:

    "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

    We do need to dig deeper, play harder. One day that problem we've been trying so hard to decipher will be revealed. :)

    I always thought genius came more from imagination and inspiration than intelligence. But ten thousand tries, lol. I don't think they'll allow that on the road test ;p
