What Is A Genius?

July 1st, 2009 by Aaron Shields

Steve Jobs is a genius. Einstein was a genius. The folks over at Pixar are geniuses.

What is a genius?

A genius is a word we use to describe people who we cannot understand. We perceive them as special, as if they were magically blessed by a creator to have greater abilities than others.

But, genius isn’t easy; it’s hard work. Geniuses aren’t lazy.

The gift that geniuses are given is that they’re more committed to cultivating the creative process, knowingly or unknowingly, than everyone else.
