I was reading this article tribute to Steve Jobs and I noticed the author made the following connection about the quality of genius :
Both had less formal schooling than most of their respective peers. Both possessed the ability to visualize projects on a grand scale. Both followed an inner voice when making decisions. And both had terrific tempers that could make their employees quake.
I dont mean to toot my own horn but does that sound like anyone you might know? I would add this quote from Babylon 5 :
Greatness is never appreciated in youth, called pride in midlife, dismissed in old age and reconsidered in death. Because we cannot tolerate greatness in our midst we do all that we can to destroy it.
Btw like Bill Gates, and Christopher Columbus, etc etc Edison didnt come up with his ideas he just borrowed them from other people and marketed them better. In Edison case he was just a businessman who stole from an employee named Nikola Tesla. I understand the Tampa Bay Lighting are unveiling there new Tesla coil at an upcoming game

The difference is these people did things about their projects, without depending on others.
um no the difference is the people they depended on trusted and listen to them and followed on faith what they themselves did not understand.
