So called genius

Have u ever pondered over the idea what separates a so called genius (referred as genius here after) from the ordinary? I think it's the attitude towards that particular stream or subject which is just there in a genius and he/she doesn't have to make any conscious effort to be extra-ordinary at it. If one is very good at quiz, it is generally so that he reads everything as if it is some general knowledge guide. If Roger Federer is genius, that's because he likes to play tennis from the deep with in and doesn't have to force himself to play. Sachin, Tiger Woods and everybody else fall in the that class because of the same virtue. If I go on to lower my attention to the people who are above ordinary around us, I observe the same phenomenon. It's the habit that they have acquired from the environment around them or inherit in some cases or have developed a liking for that activity because of their peculiar nature, they seem to take great pleasure in whatever the activity they are considered to be not ordinary. Wanna be so called genius.... Look carefully and you will realize that you are potential future genius... To pursue that interest is all it takes...
So hello genius... :)

Nice definition of 'so called genius'. But the prevalent problem(if it is) in the masses is that they are not passionate enough to become a 'so called genius' jlt. I am a big victim of the same :|

hmm, this particular theory sounds so correct. Surely, its attitude and interest which matters a lot. But dedication is one more thing which differentiates genius from ordinary people.
If attitude triggers the success story, dedication keeps it intact and make sure that you don't loose the path in middle.

All the differences(Ordinary nd Non-) resides in above statemnt...
I guess there is biggest struggle to figure out the liking for s'th, which peculiar nature in our selves nd where we find pleasure out of doin all that...
Im just another example of struggling character...

greatest wish to find ans of all above....

Nice thinking....but i may disagree to this to a large extent...ok...you see Sachin....you see Tiger Woods....they have reached there( at the top) because of there dedication .. fine....but lets shift our focus to the local cricket player....there are many who are more dedicated to the game than even sachin....but...but....somehow I believe that the " genius " stuff you talk about is a inborn quality....if a person has it and explores it properly he succeeds....but if a person doesn't have it , tries his level best to explore it....not much can be achieved....I know i may sound like a passimist....but thats what I believe is the truth...

Small change...by "dedication" in the above comment i meant "dedication + realising what they are interested in " at all the places..
