Geniuses have a strong desire to work hard and long. They're willing to give all they've got to a project. Develop your drive by focusing on your future success, and keep going. It takes courage to do things others consider impossible. Stop worrying about what people will think if you're different.
Geniuses know what they want and go after it.
Get control of your life and schedule. Have something specific to accomplish each day. Geniuses continually accumulate information. Never go to sleep at night without having learned at least one new thing each day. And question people who know.
