The story of the Genius..contd

My last post was about my description of the Genius. Kishore Kumar or Albert Einstein can be good examples to represent this category, for what they have contributed through their lives. For a general formula, people having that extra-edge right from the birth may be termed as Genius. Considering carefully, Einstein didn't have a bulb suddenly lit in his brain making him start publishing ideas at the age of 17 or even before. Neither would have Kishore Kumar been able to sing so mellifluous without having a single day of formal training in music. It's all been something in them that just did not come out until the right time. And hence, what they did further was something they needn't work hard for. It is fairly simple to say that the talent in these people existed since the time they had stepped on to the journey of the Earth. Being Genius is truly God-Gifted and this is what distinguishes them.

But within those leftover, there exists the category of self-made Genius. Sachin Tendulkar, Micheal Schumacher or Bill Clinton, all fall into this category for the manner in which they achieved success. A very simple understanding goes into it. For one to be a self-made Genius, there is no prerequisite of having brains or being too rich. But it's all based on the kind of efforts one gives into achieving his goals, well supported by his artfulness and analysing skills. There has to be a punch in the focus and determination to take you through. One also doesn't need to have any exceptional skill to create ideas, but be hardworking and broad-minded and move along the straight path. In addition, circumstances around the person also make him think of simple ways of changing the future for betterment of everyone. I think, having included all these things, there is no way one could fail and reach the desired spot.

But ofcourse, not everyone is able to muster these basic necessities and the commitments required in order to be termed a self-made person or self-made Genius. Those who reach the other end of the grid through their perseverance, can claim to be at par with the ones already there. The 4400, a television series depicts this in a very spendid way, where a teacher says that she just sees the small trail of light that glows inside every individual, and tries to bring that out through some unique ability which the student is capable of. Ofcourse, if that trail of light doesn't exist, nothing can be done.

Wh@t m@kes the Genius..??

We all might have, at some point or the other in our lives, come across people who are truly Genius. The Genius, as I would like to call this character throughout my continuing essay, exists in every single area of work where humans have been known to exist. They work in a normal way and do things just as others do, but somewhere inside them lies the most significant modification they have incurred, that keeps them above each and every person around. Genius is the kind of person who has this extra bit of brain, as I would like to perceive, that gives Him the extra edge. It comes to Him naturally, whatever He does, and He doesn't have to mould his brain, not even an iota, to do what He is capable of. He doesn't need the help of any other person, and He is capable of surviving on his own, well supported by His extraordinary capabilities. He doesn't carry with Him, the badge of being different, and looks just as the person next door. He might have fun and frolic, but when it really matters, He is just required to be serious, and everything happens on its own for Him. He may do something wrong, but very seldom, and something right, always. He exists to make the Others realize, what they lack in themselves, and what they cannot achieve. Everyone knows him, well enough, but no-one can be like Him, for they dont have enough. Ofcourse, He is the only one of His kind, and should I finally say, a possible Incarnation of the All Mighty.

So do we belong to special and the restricted group of this Genius, or we seem to be lost in the remaining never-ending world of Others.
