What is Genius?

Op-Ed Columnist - Genius - The Modern View - NYTimes.com

Genius is not about being, rather becoming. That at least is what some researchers believe. The idea is that a certain flair or talent is only enough to ante into the game whose payoff is genius. To achieve the prize requires countless hours of metaphorically backbreaking labor with guidance along the way to stay focused and on track. The old perspiration/inspiration ratio I suppose.
The point is, keep working at what you love, learn as much as you can about it, and find a expert to watch over and guide you. Once one masters an art/craft/skill then and only then can the present boundaries of the possible be stretched and expanded.
So, get to work.
