<p>Yea i know exactly what you mean. they like to convey that “natural genius” persona…but it is easy to see right through that</p>
<p>I agree as well. Sheesh, those kinds of people should just go all out and say “I’m successful, I’m smart, because I work harder than you! Hah!” - just like what I say :p</p>
<p>I think there are mainly hard workers. I think the geniuses are rackin’ it up at MIT.</p>
<p>the word genius is way overabused. I’d say <5% genius, definitely.</p>
<p>True true…</p>
<p>In my opinion, if you know someone who study as much as others, or less than them and get into Harvard, he is a genius.
But if he study much more than others and get into Havard, he is a hard-worker.
Agree/Disagree?</p>
<p>It’s certainly possible to be both a genius and a hardworker, you know, but I’d wager that many of those who work excessively hard in high school are crossing the line into insanity.</p>
<p>According to Edison, they are the same thing.</p>
<p>“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” --Thomas Alva Edison</p>
<p>Yeah, but considering the fact that Edison hired others for many of his patents, I’m not using his defnition.</p>
