Genius

"He's a genius." "What a genius." "...one of the greatest geniuses on earth."

So, what is genius? The 1828 Webster Dictionary gives a few definitions. I really like the last four:

3. Strength of mind; uncommon powers of intellect, particularly the power of invention. In this sense we say, Homer was a man of genius Hence,
4. A man endowed with uncommon vigor of mind; a man of superior intellectual faculties. Shakespeare was a rare-genius.
5. Mental powers or faculties. [See No.2.]
6. Nature; disposition; peculiar character; as the genius of the times.1

I attended a conference in 2011 and they gave us t-shirts. Whoever wrote what was on them is a genius.

I like how it says that genius is within. Genius is within each of us; we all have a genius inside that's just waiting to be released.
