Genius doesn’t mean a hassle-free life. I believe that the talents that geniuses are born with‚ such as math‚ cognitive and creative skills‚ must be nurtured socially and economically in childhood or they die on the vine‚ with rare exceptions. Everyone has heard of the mad scientist or the absent-minded professor. But a look at some of the ordinary and extraordinary imperfections of a few great minds reveals that geniuses are just like us.

Practice makes perfect right? That’s what we are told when we are young and even when we get older to motivate us to work to improve‚ but is practice really the key to success? Malcolm Gladwell makes an argument on page 40 of his book‚ Outliers that‚ “The emerging picture from such studies is that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world class-expert--- in anything.” There are several people who disagree with his thinking.

When a person goes to a movie theater they have a wide variety of choices and the price for
