The Genius Idiot

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 27 Nov '08

“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”

--Douglas Adams

My Thoughts:
Every genius has a fool inside him and every fool has a genius inside him. Just find out in which category do you belong.

And by the way enjoy the quote.

Different Opponent, same Category

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 3 Oct '08

“The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.”

--Adolf Hitler

My Thoughts:
Hitler though was a cruel man, but was a genius in his own way. If you look at his life, he had overcome lots of hurdles, lots of hardships. He showed the world what an individual can do if he is determined with his intentions.

And it is the ability of the genius like him to make his style fit all his endeavors. To make all his opponents appear as if he had encountered before and can overcome them. We are afraid of new things, if not afraid then a little hesitant. But only a genius….or rather a Leader of genius that has the ability to make his new endeavors look as if he has be familiar with it.

Genius has to say

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Saturday, 13 Sept '08

“Accept your genius and say what you think”

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Thoughts:
There is an old Joke, rather a story in which two weavers were presented in front of a king. They said to the king that they are not ordinary weavers. They are weaving a cloth which cannot be seen by a fool. And they present the cloth to the king. When the king tries to look at it, he cannot see the cloth. But the king doesn’t say this because he doesn’t want himself to be called as a fool.

The king asks his ministers about the cloth, none of them can see it but they don’t tell this only because they don’t want themselves to be called as fools. Soon the news of this special cloth spreads across the whole kingdom. The king announces that he would wear a dress made from this cloth and appear in front of his kingdom.

The day came, everyone gathered to see the special dress. The king appeared in front of the crowd. But nobody could see the dress. Even though nobody could see the dress, they did not say this they feared to be called as fools. But suddenly there was a voice from the crowd, it was a small boy. He was asking why the king was standing naked.

Yes, you guessed this right…the weavers had fooled the King. The Moral of the story is – say whatever comes in your mind and accept what you are.
