Portal to THE GENIUS within

When the teachers in my school and college classify students as 'Intelligent' and 'Dumb' ,I usually sigh.The reason being that i have always believed that there is a Genius within everyone,which is smothered with the implementation of "Education".

How is Everyone a Genius????

Once Einstein said "It is not that I am extraordinarily more intelligent but its just that i spend more time with problems".While we all know he was being modest ,there is some truth in his modesty.

While in school, in college or at work we have been trained to avoid mistakes and stay away from problems(and i am not talking about math problems ;>).The fear of a mistake cripples our mind to an extent that we lose all our capacity to learn from them.This has a very adverse on the minds of the young that remains till the old age.

Ever observed old people afraid to touch the latest piece of machinery or technology????While all the knowledge in the world(i dare say ,and i mean it) is discovered and inventions possible with the help of "experimentation", business and investment strategies,strategy in sports.... derived from simply "Experimentation",is it fair to teach us to avoid  Experimenting???

In life there will,many a times, be circumstances when all the books you have read will be of no help and a person adept to experimentation will not only survive but rule the roost.

Dont agree????Just tell me which book did Bill Gates,Steve Jobs,Warren Buffet,Richard Branson,Dhirubhai Ambani  etc read for success?

Genius is not a man who is learned but a man who is learning!!!!!!
