Have you ever asked yourself, "Am I really a genius?" or "Am I better than them?" and eventually answer your own question like "Hell yeah~~I AM a genius ... in my own way!" with much confidence.
Hmm... That sounds convincing. But it's much better not to fool ourselves. 😅
The word "genius" is an adjective, meaning, it is relative. For example, if you are the brightest among a group of people who are dumb, then you could always say that you are a genius. Why not, right? BUT! If your friends are Newton, Galileo, Einstein, Pascal, and other famous scientists before, can you confidently say the same answer? Hmmm... I bet not!
But when you say that you really are a genius setting aside people's opinion about you, your achievements at school, the quiz bowls you have entered, and your study habits?
Reading more books can widen our knowledge and expertise. At any time of the day, we may set aside some time reading books, magazines, and newspapers. It makes us aware of the current issues of the society. Through reading, not only are we able to explore our imagination, yet we can also test and improve our comprehensive abilities.
Experience is the best teacher. We will never know how to do something unless we do it ourselves. Bill Gates and his squad's concept of software multitasking is still a concept by now if they haven't tried to program it that way. Thanks to that, Microsoft was born.
*Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning*, uttered William Arthur Ward. Asking "why" is seeking for knowledge that is fundamental in this world. Asking "why" is like finding out the origin of something. **Sir Isaac Newton** could not have discovered **gravity** if he had not asked himself why the apple from the tree fall into his head.
*Asking **why*** is not really enough for us to exercise what we have learned. It is about formulating a new idea based on the knowledge that we have acquired, may it be from reading, curiosity, or observing. Through generating new ideas, we can keep up with the continuous change of the world. We can never be left behind.
You can never do anything right if in the first place you did not believe in yourself that you can do it. That confidence in oneself will push you to break our boundaries, get out of our comfort zones, carry our burdens, and challenge ourselves to be better day by day.You must always seek for continuous improvement. Otherwise, you will stay what you are now forever.
