Is genius found in the oddest of places?

im guessing this was inspired by me\n\n:) just kidding of course\n\nthough the guy who sells me used batteries on the train seems well versed in the existentialist philiosophies of albert camus "An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. "

geniuses always have something unusual about them. einstein couldn't tie his shoes or read or write. it is what makes them imperfect, like all of us are.

It's rare, but possible.

...there is a famous quote that came to mind immediately when I saw your question:\n\nNothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. --- Calvin Coolidge 1872\n\n- hope this helps, I'm not adding anything else because if you are telling it as it is, you will get there in the end ! okay. Good luck.

The standard is 100.  Genius is around 160.  You are above average.

It's purely rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me.  He was a crazy guy like that.  Most geniuses are.

There is a limit to genius but there is no limit to stupidity. Mother Theresa did not have a boyfriend and was happier than most people. A guy in NJ set his girlfriend on fire. You are more likely to be killed by someone you know than a stranger. So that means someone with no friends is safer than others.\n\nThe U.S. has increasing rates of anxiety and depression. Is happiness a matter of cosequences or a state of being? St Francis of Assisi did not have a girlfriend but was happier than anyone else around. Why? How can someone be really happy or peaceful if they are always worried on a deep level that their spouse and children could be killed at any moment or anything bad happening.\n\nSt Franci had total and complete trust. He never worried. He was fearless. That is the only way to be peaceful and happy.

ah yes, but you only see the best of the best, that's all we take in from there.  I had a math teacher from there, great guy, but you talk to him about his home land he didn't think the people there are all that smart.

A person who is very unsmart in most areas but is a genius in 1 narrow area.  "idiot savant"  translates as knowing idiot.

No, I'm a scientist but I'm certainly not a genius. You do need to have an imaginative mind though. Most of the hands on work we do - anybody could do. Its thinking about why things work the way they do which is the hard bit. Most reasonable intelligent people can become scientists if they have a bit of imagination.

hey, a lot of people are really smart...\n\nArthur Conan Doyle wrote "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" etc... and he was one of the greatest detective before.\n\nAlbert Einstein discovered a lot of theories without using any experiment tools and stuff, so wouldn't anyone think it's neat?\n\nThe Couple Pierre and Marie Curie contributed a lot in the periodic table, so they could be big time geniuses themselves...\n\nBill Gates never graduated, but indeed he made what we're using right now, correct?\n\nwho knows? maybe someone might keep on dominating that role, and hopefully, he/she would be of much use to the whole world...
