Brooks defines genius as someone who practices at their craft and puts forth lost of ambition to excel. I agree to some extent. But I do believe the act of being genius can be innately born. Someone can be a genius at something if they don't work so hard. The fact that you practice over and over again, kind of makes you a learned genius. If you naturally pick up something, I think that constitutes being more of a genius.
Brooke's defines genious not on an intellectual scale but rather to a work efficiency. He clearly states that people that become geniuses, become that way through hard work and nothing else. I believe that is true because most people who are really smart, don't just become smart overnight. These are the people who are always studying new things to boost their intellectuality. Without this hard work, people would just be average with some knowledge on the field that they are learning. If someone works hard to excel, then they are showing other people in the same field that they wan't it more in terms of the knowledge available.
In this article, Brooke tells us that people get more out of hard working than anything else. This is true because hard work will eventually pay off. Not only do hard work boost one's confidence, but it sharpens the knowledge in the field he/she studying in. Let's say you are a musician. If you don't practice everday for a minimum of 1 or 2 hours, you will eventually lose your touch.
In the article Brooke describes a genius as having the potential to be vastly talented and works hard in order to nurture those talents. I believe genius does initially have a talent which can grow to be an outstanding talent. I disagree with Brooke's viewpoint that the talent doesn't have to be significant. I believe that the talent that a genius initially possess must be above average or have some sense of significance to it. I do believe that practicing those talents will eventually allow to them to grow and have an outstanding significance
In this class, we will explore individual morality, societal codes, and the relationship between them both as we read prose, plays, and poems that challenge and complicate the binary distinction between right and wrong.
