Are you a brilliant genius?
- A smart person is not always a genius.
- A genius is not always a smart person.
Okay, my definition is a bit incomplete. I’ll add a few lines:
- A genius has a love for what s/he’s doing.
- A genius isn’t doing what s/he’s doing for personal gain (fame, money, etc.)
- A genius is really good at what s/he’s doing.
Usually, when you hear “genius,” you often imagine a black-white picture of Einstein (at least, I do.) Professors with white hair and glasses who will solve any math problem, any scientific problem. But I don’t think it limits to technical stuff like this. History produced also many other geniuses. Like geniuses in music: Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi. Geniuses in art: Van Gogh, Rembrandt. Geniuses in literature: Shakespeare.
And geniuses nowadays. Particularly in music, I think these are geniuses: Tori Amos, Laïs, (Indonesian) Melly Goeslaw, Michael Jackson.
And you too.
You’re a brilliant genius too.
All of you people around me. Great writers, photographers, musicians and singers, drawers and painters, stylists, sportsmen, scientists, speakers, thinkers, dancers, (graphic) designers and architects, or any of the other things that you’re good with.
Brilliantly genius.
PS: I can have all of Grace’s skittles.
am i brillianty genius? id say i was gifted in a weird sort of way heh
haha yes… you can have some smarties, too. (finally finished the skittles, now im onto smarties
)
*muches on skittle* I don’t imagine Einstein. I imagine me. hehe, just kidding
musical geniuses…
With reference to Kenneth’s post,
I’d say my geniuses are people like Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kitaro, Akihiko
Fukaura and Yukari Katsuki of S.E.N.S., Yoko Kanno, etc.. Incidentally,
they’re all Japanese musicians who have composed great works on
instr…
A genius is not always a smart person. You got it right. Not all people who excel in academic (for example) could be called as genius. Smart has different kind of meaning to genius, intelligent, brilliant. I think being genius is something gifted.
(gee.. feels great to have someone call me a genius… LOL! nah.. i’d get embarrassed if someone say i’m smart!) i think a genius is not necessarily justified by the qualifications/pedigree he/she may have.. he/she may be an unknown making his/her masterpieces in some hidden alley… i think there is a hidden genius in each of us.. once we’ve found what it is that makes our heart skip a beat, we can become geniuses!
Hmm.. heel positief
Ik ben nu wel erg benieuwd naar je foto! Studie gaat zijn gangetje btw.. ik weet nu ook nog niet hoe het gaat lopen. Bedankt voor je plugs, ook al ben ik lange tijd afwezig geweest op jouw (razend populaire!) weblog 
Hope all is well!
Hmmm . . That’s a great way of looking at it. I’ve never really looked at it that way. I’ve always thought that a genius was someone with an inborne talent to be able to do a certain task effortlessly, but yours sounds a whole lot better. It leaves everything open, so that more people can be considered geniuses. LOL. Michael Jackson IS a genius. He may be surrounded by controversy, but I’ve always loved his music and dancing. Well, great site! Take care!
