"Discover your Genius"

So Im reading this book called "Discover your Genius" written by Micheal Gelb, and it is amazing!!!! It's about all the historical geniuses such as Plato, Ghandi, Da Vinci and few others. My favorite so far is Plato a philosopher who brought the teachings of Socrates to everyone and also taught Aristotle. One of the things that really stood out to me was his quote "We must reject the conception of education professed by those who say that they can put into the mind knowledge that was not there before." Which means that teachers aren't here to give us knowledge, but to bring the knowledge out of us.Everyone since birth knows anything there is to know, we have just forgot it somewhere along the way, but deep in our soul all the information is there. We must find the right mentor to bring it out of us.

WE ARE ALL CAPABLE, basically.

  1. This sounds like a fascinating book that you are reading. Thanks for sharing a little bit of it with all of us. I like that last line you wrote, also. I believe that to be very much true.
