"Genius is Never a Position Holder throughout his entire academic career." A CRITICISM
(Muhammad Affan Ahmed, Multan)
An intelligent man has a deep
curiosity about the aspects of the complex things while a genius has the ability
to create new curiosity provoking aspects.To put this in a nut shell, I would
say that the dominant skill of an intelligent is curiosity while that of a
genius is creativity. :)
Now please let me explain the reason why I quoted that a genius can never be the
most prominent student in the class. Well, it is based on an observation that a
creative person can never survive any type of monotony and restriction. You're
mindful of the fact that the educational institutions have a curriculum which
restricts the students to follow a particular syllabus. An intelligent, with his
curiosity and witty mind goes through that easily. But a real genius, you know,
never likes the limits, restrictions and the monotony because these things are
the hurdles in the flow of creativity. It is commonly said that a genius hates
the rules. That is also due to the same fact. But remember! Not everyone who
hates the curricular restrictions is a genius. But if you couldn't stop yourself
from adding some extra material or examples by your own in the subjects, you
were a genius. Those who used to write beautiful fairy tales in their exam were
also genius :D But the tales should have been beautiful, not jangling. Well,
that's a condition. Yet they are second ranked genius. But in any case, a genius
proves himself to be living in the world of many more dimensions other than 3.
CURIOSITY IS DEPENDENT OF SURROUNDINGS WHILE CREATIVITY DEPENDS ON NOTHING!
So, this is it. There is a difference between an intelligent and a genius. An
intelligent has the ability to quickly adapt himself in any situation while a
genius folk loves to create new situations. In any case a prominent student
should not disparage his skills, because he's intelligent and it is enough an
honor for him. But a genius has a unique position. He doesn't feel comfy
struggling for being such a rank holder in the class. Rather he's more inclined
to challenge their ideas and throw even the intelligents in fatal complexities.
Remember that geniusity can't be expressed as conveniently as intelligence can
be shown. Those figures regarding scores and percentages that you're attributed
with in exams can only slightly show your intelligence, but not even a pinch of
geniusity. I hope so you'll no longer lament on your percentages, marks etc. :D
So dont take such people seriously who judge your abilities on the basis of the
scores you have attained. :) I have discussed only one chapter yet :D there are
many other skills that cannot be expressed as numbers and figures. Apart of
those expressed in the scores, you have numerous other abilities and skills, but
it's hard for the people to evaluate ;) Stay strong and ambitious `~`
