what makes a genius?

Answer 1

Forgetfulness of one's own self, and greatest mindfulness through one's own peculiar standpoint of the observation of the facts about life and this world – the truth. There is everlasting Truth, Goodness, Knowledge and Beauty in the universe that a mind can tape into, these resources are endless, and the contents of the observable unlimited. One can read from the greatest of all books in existence, the existence itself throughout all times and ages, immense amount of knowledge and wisdom can be extracted, mysterious crafts can be unveiled, secret facts can be brought into the open, elevated vantage points can be forged, and then the last hurdle in the way can also be removed, and that last hurdle is one own earthly cares and concerns in the face of divine inspiration of knowledge unbound. This all can be done for the purposes, causes, ideals and ideas much grand and sublime in than anything else in known reality of our existence.

Einstein was not a very good student. His progress in Maths class was always poor, as his teacher described him as dull minded. But what he had in view was not basic Maths exercises but a different type of Mathematics. He had in his mind a capacity that would enable his to see facts beyond facts, to see not only with light but also through light at an almost metamorphic nature of all things real, and massive. To be genius does not automatically mean also to be happy, or even wise; to be a genius means to be able to deal in wonder, to be able to contemplate grandeur with such a longing and yearning.

Answer 6

Scholastically, he exels far way better than ordinary people do.
He is not contented answering to proposition what, rather he goes farther answering the proposition why
He finds a seemingly easy question as 'who are you?' or 'what is blue?' or 'what is a whole?' very complicated question as compared to this question 'what is the DNA helix?' which he finds easier to answer in other words he can make a mountain out of a molehill and a molehill out of a mountain.

Lots of stuff...genetics (genes one chooses before coming to school, Earth). Dealing with stuff is another--humans and other animals always made gains in brain functioning when having to solve survival problems.

The most important is receptivity...the ability to listen to the spirit world...the more receptive, the more world-changing info one can get! Some would not call this genius...but receptivity, sensitivity, is most certainly one form of genius.
