Many times I keep wondering what is a genius or rather who is a genius.Is a person with an estimated IQ=180,a genius? Is a person a genius because of his works? Is a genius in one field a genius in all? What motivates a genius? Does a genius know that he is a genius? Is it that knowledge which motivates him to prove himself?
Genius is beyond the confines of conformity, as it therefore becomes deviant in nature and strives to proliferate innovation on an unparelleled level.
Genius is perhaps a gift, yet it chooses to manifest itself in numerous fashions...
"Even if you are not a genius, you can use the same strategies as Newton and Einstein to harness the power of your creative mind and better manage your future."
The following seven strategies encourage you to think productively, in order to arrive at solutions to problems:
- Look at problems in many different ways, and find new perspectives that no one else has taken (or no one else has publicized!)
- Visualize!
- Produce! A distinguishing characteristic of genius is productivity.
- Make novel combinations. Combine, and recombine, ideas, images, and thoughts into different combinations no matter how incongruent or unusual.
- Form relationships; make connections between dissimilar subjects.
- Think metaphorically. Aristotle considered metaphor a sign of genius.
- Prepare yourself for chance.
Genius may or may not be born.But one can atleast hope to become one by striving for it.
