Abstract

From our early childhood, the genius in us has been curtailed. We have been taught to “color between the lines” all the way through school, and have been dictated to as to how many pages, words, and in what format our work should be delivered. Yet, work and life require creativity, so we need to revive the genius in us. It’s dormant but not dead, but it takes courage to revive it. Through snapshots of exemplary individuals, this chapter demonstrates that unleashing our genius will not always be readily accepted, because it often means that the status quo has to be changed. Yet, real geniuses don’t give up, they find creative ways to keep working toward the cause they believe in.
