Here’s some encouragement for anyone who wants it . . .
Albert Einstein once said he wasn’t smarter than anyone, he just stayed with the problem longer.
That’s not much encouragement. He also said “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”
There is much evidence that Albert Einstein does not deserve the fame he has.
If you really wanted to encourage yourself, you could just remind yourself that tomorrow has not come yet. So, use the hours you have left today to prepare yourself to get what you want tomorrow. Nobody can tell you that you can’t do it because tomorrow has not yet happened.
I think it’s more a case of modesty. Perhaps false modesty. He was truly a genius; not infallible but brilliant. He’s been surpassed in some areas but in many others we’re still playing catchup, and we only now are able to verify some of his theories.
If Einstein’s secretary (A CIA agent) had not terminated the lines of communication Einstein had going with Reich he would have been a way smarter man.
Come on gramps.

Spend the time to read about where those theories actually come from, and you will come to realize that the only original writing in the relativity papers is the photoelectric effect and the title “… of relaitivity”
I don’t think that I’m a genius. I know that I am.
Difficult question to answer because tests are different and people are different. A test can always be made more difficult and there is always someone “smarter” than you.
Now that the clinical definition is out of the way…I will say no, I am not a genius. Yet. I would define genius, in myself, when I finally gather the courage to do the terrible deeds I’ve always wanted to do, but which I have not because of pity or cowardice.
My life up to this point has consisted of my trying to preserve my life by submitting and conforming to people and beliefs that are wrong. Why have I done this? Because I was afraid of solitude, incarceration or death? But I should prefer these things over this life anyway. I should not take this life “seriously”. I should, however, take getting out of this life seriously.
What I am approaching is a breaking point…slowly and surely. This line, when I cross it, will be my move into genius. Final, genuine fearlessness…no longer affraid of risks and consequences. This is where I am headed. When I get there, I will spend the rest of my short life getting “paid back” for all the wasted time and effort, the humiliation, the abuse, the lies. I do not expect to live much longer after the point when I proclaim myself a genius.
Is every mensa member a genius? Or can some morons slip through the cracks?
i am not a genious, I don’t know how to deal and categorize well with the information that I have.
I am working on it.
I think being a genious is lame to aim towards. I aim towards being happy, content and in bliss while also being responsible communally.
being a genious is not for me
