Genius and Hardwork

The document discusses the concept of genius and whether it is innate or developed through hard work. It presents findings from studies that show IQ and natural talent alone do not determine success, which requires sustained effort and practice over many years with a mentor. While some are born with high intellectual ability, becoming an expert or leader in a field takes immense dedication as genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Ultimately, both natural proclivities and hard work contribute to achieving great heights, with neither being solely responsible for making someone a genius.

Do they call you dumb, a**hole, sucker, idiot and so


on?
It does not matter, one day you could be (might become) a

genius.
A roundup of IQ studies from Cambridge University Press,
shows that being a genius means 99 % hard work. "There are
international chess masters that have below-average IQs," said
author Dr. K. Anders Ericsson, a professor of psychology at
Florida State University in Tallahassee.
"Basically, there is no indication that people with higher IQ are
able to reach the top faster. We are finding people who meet the
criteria for being skilled surgeons, chess masters, athletes or
magicians. Once you start looking at what makes them
successful, IQ doesn't make any difference."
They challenge our criteria on evaluating the persons' potential
by their IQ. "Instead of selecting children into an elite school
based on IQ test, we might speak instead of expertise, talent or
even greatness," said Ericsson.
"Examine closely even the most extreme examples - Mozart,
Newton, Einstein, Stravinsky - and you find more hard-won
mastery than gift. Geniuses are made, not born", the British
journalist David Dobbs pointed out.
One research tracking adult graduates of New York City's
Hunter College Elementary School, where an admission
criterion was an IQ of at least 130, revealed that most of the
graduates bore average lives, and very few scored on the top.
"There were no superstars, no Pulitzer Prize or MacArthur
Award winners, and only one or two familiar names," said lead
researcher Rena Subotnik, a psychologist with the American

Psychological Association.
The Cambridge analysis points the three keys to success: hard
work, persistence and a solid upbringing.
And all the people who got international fame had invariably
worked with a high level mentor. "Ability doesn't seem to have
anything to do with it. You need to accumulate your experience.
Perfect practice makes perfect. If you're out playing tennis and
you miss an overhand volley, the game will go on. The next time
the identical situation happens, you're not going to be more
successful. In order to improve, you need a special training
environment where a mentor will give you appropriate shots,"
said Erricsson.
Ericsson shows that genius status is achieved when one puts in
five times extra work and 10 years of effort more than average
people do. "A lot of people think (that) highly talented people
can become good at anything rapidly. But what this study
says(suggests) is that nobody has been able to rise without
having practiced(practised) for 10 years. In [classical] music
right now, it takes more than 15-20 years before they start
winning in competitions", said Ericsson.
No. Being a genius means having an intelligence
quotient of 140 and higher. "Hard work", as you
say, has absolutely nothing to do with being a
genius. Someone with an IQ of 95 could have a
very good education and could be far more
successful than someone with an IQ of 140,
however his ability to use logic and solve problems

would be no where near the person who has an IQ


of 140. Jobs and careers hardly ever require much
intelligence, only knowledge, and knowledge is
NOT
what
makes
one
a
genius.
Take a look at Einstein, he was a slacker in school
during his childhood, he despised doing work. He
was lazy, but he was a genius. Many people are like
him. "Genius" is a term of intelligence, not work or
education. Anyone on this planet could achieve any
amount of success if they wanted to, it all just
depends on their level of motivation to do so; it has
nothing
to
do
with
being
a
genius.
But more importantly, success in life has nothing to
do with being a genius. As I previously stated; it's
all about your motivation to achieve success,
intellect is not necessarily a factor.
IQ is a number with no units. Being a geneus is
when you use your IQ and through meaningful
actions and human interactions do something
useful with it, thus turning the unitless IQ number
into a tangible outcome that one can assign a unit
to. This may be number of books, the umber of
patents, the number of inventions. etc.
So, Picasso was genetically a painter genius, do
you think he would have been a great artist with no
study? Stupid IQ tests are nothing but a tool for
ego masturbation, just because you have an IQ of
or over 140 does not make you Michalengelo,

Picasso, Freud, or Einstein, you can have very


special visualization abilities, so what? Would you
be a CEO just because you can predict the next
nonsense image in an IQ test? Of course
intelligence is important, but it's also scientifically
proven that the hard-working people have a higher
IQ, that is, geniuses might be assumed both
intelligent, and hard-working. I agree that a person
with an IQ of 58 may not be a luminary, or
revolutionary, but with an average IQ, and a great
deal of dilligence, you can have great success.
Even if you are brighter than a Harvard alumnus,
just because you graduated from a less prestigious
university, noone would hire you, they would prefer
the Harvard guy instead. Perspiration is the thing
what
makes
successes,
"Genius
is
99%
perspiration, 1% inspiration", as one of the greatest
geniuses, Nikola Tesla, stated.
No! Genius is something which is created. We have
all heard that one was not born a Genius and this is
true.
Diamond and Gold were not were not attractive in
their initial states but through hardwork, they were
polished and even though they look attractive at
their finial state, they still need to be polished, if
not they will loss their quality. This is where
hardwork comes in. (that is consistant polishing)
Experience is what makes one to maintain the

mark of being a Genius and hardwork is what


makes one gain experience. Hardwork = Exprience
=
Genius.
A student who is first in class will no longer be first
again if he is not hard at work after being first.
Therefore, Hardwork is what is needed to maintain
a mark of being a Genius.
A genius does extraordinary things.This, they
mainly dot through hard work,Persistence and
some brain.Some individuals lack the later hence
their continued flop.There must some brainy
aspect!
Actually , being hardwork is very good and it's
undeniable that HARDWORK will never win
genius.No matter how a normal people with normal
IQ work hard , genius will still easily get into the
top ranking if they work hard.Because all genius
are lazy , then you are trying to prove normal
hardwork people will easily win over genius?
Genius are born to be. And need to be sharpened
as well. How good the quality of a pencil and it still
need to be sharpened. As an example, some baby
could speak their first word at around 4-7 months
which is considerly as genius as normal baby speak
their first word at 1 year old or longer. So , there is
different in people and not just hardwork will
suceed.

GOD IS A GENIUS. The PRINCIPAL of LIFE. HE


CREATED US IN HIS IMAGE HENCEFORTH WE ALL
ARE
GENIUSES.
Remember, the whole schooling thing is the reason
why the Genius became a subjective term as
students are JUDGED in order to well equip them in
some of life's basics. That boy/girl in class who
always came first had to be a GENIUS in that
'INTELLECTUAL
aspect
because
of
the
CONTRIBUTION he had or has on this earth. We
need bankers, accountants. We also cannot do
without mechanics, nurses, or sole traders so bless
the Low IQ' people. There is a genius in each
person. It maybe the gift of being persuasive,
working with numbers or using that voice or those
hands.
BEEN RICH ONLY RELIES ON YOUR ABILITY TO
LOCATE AND USE THAT GENIUS IN YOU.
As you can clearly see, genius is directly defined by
natural ability or intellect. While I do agree that
hard work and experience determines one's career
success far more than natural ability, it's
completely inaccurate to say that genius is a title
that can be attained from work, rather than natural
skill.
A genuis is having high intellect, just being able to
process faster than others. If you have a computer
that has vast information that is great, but if you

have a computer with vast information that can


spit it out quickly and problem solve new
information with our being taught. Well your
computer is a genuis. It is not about all the
knowledge you can remember. You can remember
all the times tables, but do you understand them.
Or can you figure out how to do it differently or an
alternative way? It is about your ability to think,
reason, and understand.
Genius is natural talent and ability. Some people
are born with sense and smarts. They have a head
start on people who don't. When learning how to
do something, yes, it takes time to master it. But a
genius would learn easily where someone less
talented would take more time and help. I'm not
genius, but I will say this: genius is born, not made.
It sucks. But if everyone could be geniuses with
hard work and no talent, then how come we don't
have more of them?
Being a genius is a relative notion and both
theories of genius ascribed to by the authors on
this post are correct. First there is a natural born
ability involved. That ability is the ability to learn
with application to put it simply knowledge may be
power but without the wisdom to apply that very
same knowledge will fall upon its own sword.
Imagine a bright child being born with an IQ of 300
however if the canvas of life he or she is introduced
into is blank versus a robust painting with many
hues and diversity of technique it does not mean

that there is less of an IQ involved. It mean he will


need a more traveled road to reach that self
awareness. Imagine taking an IQ test for Harvard
on art science and mathematics if you were born
into a tribal Waziristan or to nomadic herdsmen in
the Gobi. The capacity would be there but not the
knowledge that we hold as valuable to define one
as a genius. Which brings about other questions
such as would a Harvard genius be able to be a
genius in a nomadic Gobi
Actually IQ is a terminology that defines how quick
a person can adapt mentally to new tasks, likewise
a continued perseverance towards a mentally
challenging task. You can in fact be born with much
intelligence or train yourself to gain more like
lifting weights to build muscle. In today's so called
"civil society" people are often put down or reduce
their aggressiveness towards certain goals and
become complacent to their position in life. As a
culturally adaptive species this makes logical
sense; why waste energy towards becoming a
genius if you don't need to be? This is the show
you run and often it doesn't suit the lives of
everyone on the planet, because we actually do
need your intelligence to solve the number of
problems mankind will deal with like poverty,
diseases that haven't occurred, or nuclear power.
When you say a chess master with a low IQ is able
to out perform high IQ individuals, you're saying

that that chess player has worked harder to


understand the rules regarding the game of chess.
Although given the same material (say if that was
unlimited) and time it takes to each opponent to
prepare in advance of some games, you'll find that
the genius will often times out wit the dunce per
say.
Why is that? A computer with more CPU i7 Intel
power will process more information than a
Pentium chip. Yes you can open up calculator on
both and do 2+2 to get a result of 4, however
Crysis 2 on Ultra high settings will render much
better on the faster processor. Given a longer
amount of time the Pentium chip will be able to
process the same amount of information.
It's like that saying goes, "slow and steady wins the
race". In order to do well in society we are given
the benefit to highlight people who work hard, and
it's important for their IQ to increase as they do
hardwrk brings more success because intelligence
somwtimes fails but not hardwork
Such an encouraging article! gave me another
life.Actually I am a Software Engineer by
profession.I was struggling to become Analyst.I was
thinking that an analyst is someone who is
gifted(just like when I used to think about
programming when I didn't know how to program).

sounds interesting and as a science student myself


I find it quite convincing .

Wish more teachers at schools would believe this !
