Geniuses are born not made
Genius is a typical name used for exceptionally great intellectual people who opened their minds and thought differently. In ancient Rome, the genius was the guiding spirit or tutelary deity of a person. Isaac Newton is a typical example for a genius because if it weren’t for him we would have not known about gravity. An apple falling on one’s head would not make him think why it fell on him but Newton especially thought on why the apple had to fall down.
Albert Einstein, a 20th-century symbol of scientific genius proposed the theory of relativity. This theory proposes 4 dimensions in space and the fourth being space-time. It tells us that time is dependent on space. Without a genius like him I doubt even if we could possibly think of such a thing if it weren’t for his research.
Another genius is Leonardo da Vinci who excelled in almost all fields. His works such as Monalisa and The Last Supper occupy unique positions as the most famous, most reproduced and most parodied portrait and religious painting of all time. Leonardo’s drawing of Vitruvian Man is also very iconic.
Charles Darwin is best known for his evolutionary theory because he came up with things which normally people would struggle all their life to do. This theory also explains on the survival of the fittest.
Thought he went through a lot of trouble, he still managed to complete the evolutionary theory. There are many more people like William Shakespeare, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Archimedes, Nikola Telsa, Galileo Galilei, Stephen Hawking, Thomas Edison and more. There are many more to come and many more to go. All of the people mentioned above are merely not called Geniuses because they invented something or did something. They are called so because they thought differently from the others and they never had to be made a Genius because most of them were from a poor background and some were school or college dropouts. Never minding those, they still carried on

    Over time, as the slaves grew more displeased with their lives, many decided to run away and escape to symbolize that they were unhappy. Others slowed down production by faking illnesses, breaking tools and other things such as accidently burning the barn and foot-dragging. An example of foot-dragging is that when a slave is ordered to bring a bush of cotton to their owner, the slave would purposely drag their feet and take their time, thus slowing down the process of production. Slaves would also “fix” their masters meals by adding a secret ingredient. An example of this is that when a slave is serving any meal in general, they would spit onto their owners’ food before placing it onto the dining table.…

    Albert Einstein said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” When he made this comment, I imagine Einstein was only observing his success as a physicist. It was not meant to be profound or meaningful, but simply an explanation of his abilities. From a very young age I have been viewed as exceptionally intelligent. My classmates have always asked me how I do so well, and I usually provide a statement similar to Einstein’s. Although I was born with a tendency to be “smart”, my natural tendencies have in no way defined my intelligence; my passion, an acquired passion, and my ambition are the things which drive me learn. In my personal studies, I have learned a plethora of things beyond what is normal. For example, I play six instruments, just because I am passionately curious.…

    Greetings peers. My name is Charles Darwin. I am a British scientist who laid the foundations of the theory of evolution and transformed the way we think about the natural world. I was born in 1809 into a very earthy and well-connected family. In 1809 after graduating from Cambridge University, I joined the HMS Beagle as the ships’ naturalist on a five-year voyage around South America. This is the trip in which I credit with establishing my working methods and knowledge that sustained my scientific career. My observations on the Galapagos Islands, gave me the first inkling of what would eventually become The Origin of The Species. My theory of "natural selection" states that a species adapts to its surroundings by making small genetic mutations in order to survive. The species that do not adapt will die and those who do will survive. Apparently this was very controversial. People claimed that it stripped away any room for fate and God. Because my ideas of evolution and natural selection rely on my observations and science rater than a pure irrational faith in Gods will, many were upset. However, I saw my findings as a way to prove Gods influence on earth and show how he operates. Even though natural selection did not become a widely accepted principle until the 1930s, in the end my findings were becoming more accepted. I am definitely one of the most influential…
