Saw a very interesting talk from Elizabeth Gilbert today... on ted.com...
for those who don't know Ted... its a platform for people to discuss on ideas that probably help others ...
Everybody has a genius within him/her... what matter is how you sustain it and nurture it and actually manage it... genius, while it helps takes you to spurts of fame, or glory due to one of your unique moments of genius... but this puts in pressure on the person to perform better next time and in way drives him to under performance....
Elizabeth who is an acclaimed writer came with her latest book "Eat, Pray, Love" pushes her to the creative genius moments and now has a lot more pressure on her that whether she would be able to actually out do her genius on this book for the remaining 40 years of her life which she plans to spend writing better...
As she puts it... no person is a genius... it is those moments of extraordinary work of recognition within a group (however small) that calls him one... how to sustain that moment is the secret which we need to to find out our way...
