题目内容:
Being a genius(天才) is different than just being supersmart. Smart people are seen everywhere, and many of them don’t amount to much. What matters is creativity, the ability to apply imagination to almost any situation.
Take Benjamin Franklin for example. He lacked the processing power to make an analysis like a Hamilton. Yet with little formal education, Franklin taught himself to become the American Enlightenment’s best inventor, diplomat, scientist, writer and business strategist. He once invented a rod to tame electricity. He even designed clean-burning stoves, charts of the Gulf Stream, bifocal glasses, musical instruments and America’s unique style of humor.
Albert Einstein followed a similar path. He was slow in learning to speak as a child—so slow that his parents turned to a doctor. He also rebelled(反抗) against authority, which led one schoolmaster to amuse history by saying that he would never amount to much. But it was just Einstein’s rebellion that led him to question received wisdom. And his slow verbal development allowed him to observe with wonder the everyday happenings that others took for granted. “The ordinary adult never bothers his head about the problems of space and time,” Einstein once explained. “But I developed so slowly that I began to wonder about space and time only when I was already grown up.” So in 1905, Einstein totally changed our understanding of the universe by coming up with the two pillars of contemporary physics: relativity theory and quantum theory.
Then there’s Steve Jobs. Much like Einstein, he would pull out his violin to play Mozart when he was disturbed in seeking theories (he said it helped him reconnect with the harmonies of the universe),
Jobs believed that beauty mattered, and that the arts, sciences and humanities should all connect. After dropping out of college, Jobs majored in calligraphy and dance before seeking spiritual enlightenment in India—which meant that every product he made, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, had a beauty that was almost spiritual in nature, unlike the products of his competitors.
