The Six Pillars of Genius
In Episode 10 of A Touch of Genius, we explore what I like to call The Six Pillars of Genius, six fundamental aspects that encourage our personal growth and unique abilities.
We talk a lot about Creativity and Curiosity as being key components for Genius to excel. Talent is another quality that is highly associated with Genius, although we’ve had many genius inventions and even unexpected discoveries that were not necessarily associated with talent. One thing that many people I’ve spoken to about the topic of Genius share is that they don’t feel that they are geniuses. That’s because they compare themselves to other renowned and historical figures whom we have labelled as Geniuses. But, since we’re here to talk about how each one of us can excel at our personal potential, we’re going to look at the things that we share, and which can help us tap into that potential in order to actualise it. Whether you’re an adult, have children or you’re a youth, I’d like to remind you that you have that hidden potential within you, and that it’s just a matter of looking within to let yourself shine.
This episode is dedicated to all those kids out there who may not be clear on what their talents or possibilities are; it is normal to feel this way in a world that is often so distracting that you can’t really focus.
There are other aspects that help encourage our creativity, curiosity and even talent, so we’re going to look at each of these as they spell out the word Genius itself:
Generosity
Enlightenment
Nourishment
Imagination
Uniqueness
Sensitivity
We’ll go into detail about each one, and we’ll feature one Genius per pillar of the word itself.
