Genius in the room?

I don't suppose we can ever really know whether someone else is the genius they appear to be, or think they are.

We can test them, but not everyone tests well and besides there are things you just can't genuinely test for.

But I can tell you this.

There are people who think they are geniuses and spend a lot of time trying to force that idea down other people's throats and then there are people who just go about living their life and let people think what they will.

I have always suspected the latter are the true geniuses in this world. They have nothing to prove to either themselves or anyone else. That is probably the least important thing in their life. They are too busy doing to try to be impressing.

If you  know what you want out of life and you can do that in a kind and productive way, what else matters?
