A MORE GENIUS WORLD IS ON ITS WAY We’d like to see a more genius world where awareness, under- standing, and daily use of genius is available to everyone. It can happen. We can make it happen. What does that mean? It means a world where each of us is more genius. All of us. Your family, friends, associates. You. It means we’re all a little more courageous, perceptive, imaginative, opti- mistic, knowledgeable. It means more of everything that makes it easier to achieve great things for ourselves, our organizations, and the entire human species. Whatever a more genius world looks like to you, that’s what is possible. When we look at the origin of the word, we see that genius means an inborn, inherent characteristic. The first part of the word gen- is defined as “the capacity to bring things, anything, into existence” — as in the word gene , that which makes the body. The last part of the word -ius means “made of or belonging to or that which contains.”
So, genius can be understood to be that which is the source of creation. You. We like to think gene refers to the material embodiment and genius refers to our animating force or spiritual embodiment.
GENIUS IS THE INHERENT, INNATE POTENTIAL WITHIN ALL PEOPLE TO DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS.
