Genius? What constitutes genius? and Whats stupidity?
There are many misconceotions and preconceived ideas of a genius, most having the thought that geniuses are associated with spells of insanity. Without much thought, that sounds true, because people who aren't able to reach the stage of being genius will just regard people with magnificiant inventions, theories to be insane geniuses.
Sheer jealousy I would rather imply. In actual fact they are ordinary people too, just that they are able to get some achievments from their respective fields of studies. They allow themself to be deaf to criticisim and going against dogmatic ideas. All of us are endowed with the roots of genius but many can't term themself genius because they are forever drawing a line between the smart and average thinkers and most feel that they rather just be any other ordinary average thinkers, and decide not to acheive any more than that. Which I truely admit, I am one of them, you and me, most people are like that. But for sure there aren't stupid people.
Unfortunately, I am able to think like but still unable to leave that zone whereby I want to reach and become a genius. I am still in that zone whereby I have the thought of being just any other ordinary average thinkers. haha.. don't ask me why.. The reason I have not given a thought to it yet.
I am writing all these out, sounding like a confuse person all because I am feeling ugly, useless and stupid. Probably you can say its a way to comfort myself. Or maybe because I am feeling offended or hurt when I have been told how silly and stupid I am *although the word STUPID is not mentioned just as yet.*
There are studies actually showing that when you keep praising a child, you can allow him or her to gain confidence in the particular task or subject whereas on the other hand, if you keep showing how piss and almost losing patience in a child eg. saying things like " Why are you always so silly or stupid?" eventually the child will just think in this way, and grow up in this way thinking i am always silly or stupid.. who gives a damn, why should I learn. some may argue that this kind of statments can actually provoke a child, and make him or her more motivated to improve on oneself. BUt too bad, that does not work on me. and yes I know I am not a child.
Okay thats all I want to say. ugly stupid useless and hopeless..
