The
Genius Personality ( Part 1 )
Dear
Subscribers,
In
my previous edition, of October 2004,
I defined major types of intelligence
present in every human being. In this
edition, I am discussing about the “The
Genius Personality” what does it
mean, understanding several common myths
about the geniuses and clearing our minds
with the help of examples.
When
I asked people from various disciplines
about as to how an ideal genius or prodigy
child would look like? The usual understanding
was of an individual with big glasses,
skinny physic, and big head with quite
and introvert nature.
This
concept directs towards
An individual who is entirely
involved within own self, with no ambition,
no energies and no concern about what
goes about out side in the world.
It
seemed awkward to me because the geniuses
I know were not at all like that They
were exactly the opposite of what is commonly
though of a genius. Some of the major
examples are as follow
Alexander
( The Great )
The
warrior king of all times. Personality
with immaculate planning head, a
ingenious war tactician, great physical
specimen, unique mental brilliance
and immense administrative capability.
Not only this but the selection
of broad headed & giant horse
was one of the great factors in
his success. An individual with
great capability to use situations
to his own favor. |
Leonardo Da Vinci
A
great artist. His research on modern
day aerodynamics in that time helped
Right brothers to attain first flight
in the history. A person with intellectual
though process and graceful athletic
physic. He could write different
languages with both hands, and that
too with same speed.
|
Emperor Akber ( The Great )
The
greatest ruler Indian sub-continent
has ever seen. With a commanding
personality he ruled India like
none other. Not only his empire
was growing day by day but his wisdom
to soften the differences between
Muslims and Hindus was unmatchable.
The most dominant genius of his
was that he formed the group of
nine versatile masters of different
traits who use to assist him, commonly
known as “nine exclusive masters
of Akber” or in local language
“Akber kay nau Ratan”.
|
Goethe
The
person who is considered to have
the highest IQ on the planet. He
used more than 50,000 different
words in his poetry that is twice
as much of the words used by William
Shakespeare in his entire work.
He was more than 6 feet tall with
very strong features and he mastered
the art of inter personal skills.
|
Albert Einstein
Said
to be the most prominent genius
of all time. Possessed great energy
to perform, to think and to prove
things beyond limits. His theory
of relativity is one fine example
of this. Today his personality is
symbol of genius.
|
Mohammad Ali
I
always remember his words “I
float like a butterfly and sting
like a bee”. The person with
immense brain-physical coordination
to an extent that he could deliver
seven punches in a single second.
He gave new dimension to the sport
of boxing. A man of principles.
A great sport psychologist with
very high self respect and self
esteem. Today leading players from
different sports copy his moves
in and out side of the ring. A legend
who is suffering from the Perkins’s
disease but still he says “you
are the best but remember who is
the greatest.”

When
we look at the world’s greatest
geniuses we come to know that the common
perception about the genius is entirely
wrong. Great geniuses have shown incredible
energies, visionary power, interpersonal
skills, high inquisitiveness, motivation,
perseverance and firm commitment to goal.
So,
it is evident that a genius personality
is one who cleverly engages all intelligences
present in human being to attain desired
results. If you look around you would
find that those individuals always have
more to cheer about are those who are
more vigilant, emotionally stable, socially
well knitted, who have better knowledge
of what they are doing and what others
are expecting of them.
By
this we have come to a conclusion that
it is not essential that one should be
a born genius, but the word genius is
a collective noun which is the combination
of several intelligences knitted together
to attain desired results. One can gain
command over it by practice. A genius
personality can be formed in any field,
any culture, any race, any social background
and any religion.
In
my opinion any one who desires can be
a genius. You can be one yourself. Decision
is yours.
