What is a Genius?

  A genius is a person who is far more gifted in some way than most people. He may be an artist or a scientist or an inventor. He may write music or poetry. He may be gifted in still some other way. Geniuses are often so deeply interested in one thing that they do not pay much attention to anything else. Many of them are thought of as odd.
  Albert Einstein was surely a genius. Much of what he thought and wrote has to do with great problems about the universe. His ideas helped to bring on the Atomic Age. Thomas Edison earned the name of genius by his many inventions. Newton, Galileo, Mozart, Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci are a few of the other geniuses the world has known.
