What is genius?


So I have found probibly the coolest qoute in the world today. It was written some time in the 1800's by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, my favorite poet of all time. She published her first book of poems when she was fourteen and wrote around 262 poems. the poems before congress (1860), all though written in her final years when her health was failing are said to have some of the most forceful and beautful lyrics. She later died in 1861 a year after her best poems were written.

Now that you have some backround on who Elizabeth Berret Browning is I will share with you the coolest quote that I have ever heard. " What is genius but the power of expressings a new individuality." This statment is so true because all those people that we say are genius' now a days, inventers, discoverers, teachers; they all by a sence of something different were driven to find out more about our universe. It was the individuals, those who did not go with the crowd, those who were different, they were the ones that are known for more now then those who were popualr in those days. It is those who know how to be themselves that truly discover what the universe is about, that find out what life is really about. It is those who have a grasp on who they are that are really open to adventure. That is why I would say that being different is cool. in other words be yourself that is what will truly distinguish you from those around you, those who came before you and those who will come after. Genius' are those who are individual!

So be your self! After all you never know who is whatching you!!!
