[quote=GUESTJ.P.,498956]We'd like to think we can all be "Geniuses" with enough effort and enthusiasm (99% Perspiration), but clearly this is not the case. "Genius" is an exceptionally rare gift, largely inborn, and is heightened by inspiration and a rich education early in life. Geniuses have capacities far beyond the vast majority of the population, and no amount of 'hard study' or 'wishful thinking' will put the typical individual on the same playing field. Geniuses push the envelope of human understanding to entirely new levels, and we can only admire it. Mathematician and 'Genius' John Von Neumann was able to divide two 8 digit numbers in his head by 6 years of age, and had a firm understanding of integral Calculus at age 8. There are many examples of such prococity. 99% of us could never develop a "Theory Of Special Relativity" like Einstein, or defeat Magnus Carlsen in a game of chess, or write a "Tragedy" with the vast insights of Shakespeare. Genius is rare and remains mysterious. It's only bestowed on a select few.[/quote]
