		<description>hey john,

it's not too difficult to understand what makes a genius. they are the innovators. they pick one thing of interest and follow it to the Nth degree. where others fail, they succeed. even if they fail, it's merely a step in progress in their minds; a lesson to be learned. geniuses don't care for social norms or cultural boundries. they are willing to be ridiculed in order to bring out the truth. the key trait of a genius is an innate knowing that what they are working on will eventually succeed. they have an understanding that even though they are the only one with the vision to see what everyone else can't, it doesn't mean they're insane. not to say that insane people don't follow things to the Nth degree sometimes and end up entirely correct. heck, even some geniuses were known to spend decades of their lives running after false ideas. in the end, a genius is someone who sets the world ablaze with his intensity of focus, and willingness to tread where no one else dares to go. 

ima genius. it's more to do with drive, intuition, and insight than graduating suma cum loude or scoring over some arbitrary cutoff on an IQ test. if ur above average IQ and have a vision which you must bring to this world, you're a potential genius. If this is the case, don't ever let someone tell u otherwise, but also stay as humble as possible. humility provides a door to the insight needed to innovate. 


peace,
