The Genius

A few times in every century the world grovels at the feat of a
Genius. IT honors, praises, revers him for the good he does to the world
in his inventions, arts, science, or just theories of life. But deep in the
hearts Of the individuals so laudng the great man are insidious twin
sparks--jealousy and envy. Jealousy says, why couldn't you be born
with his good luck, brllancy, and art that are just accidents of birth ~
But beware of these treacherous and enervating ideas.
Rarely a IS a person been born with genius. All people, with only a
very few exceptions, are gifted alke-that is, in the amount of natural
power. In some, however, the gift for one thing predominates and in
others the gift for something else is stronger But the genius is the
person who, by application and industry, raises his land himself with
it, above the level of his co artists, He does not bewal the lack of his
natural ability; but rather he makes the most of his opportunities,
wrests by sheer will power, desire, and continuous hard work the fame
and fortune he deserves.
Almost anyone who applies himself to the thing that interests
him most with uninterrupted assiduty and perseverance, turning every
chance toward the elimination of his impening force, will, too, be hailed
as A GENIUS.
