Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind. F. Scott Fitzgerald How many exceptional ideas have been lost throughout history, because most people don't have the courage or strength to make those ideas happen. Too bad, we're not more like Thomas Edison who never gave up no matter what his critics thought, or how many times he failed (thousands of times). William Shakespeare summed it up best: Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt. Have you ever had a innovative idea that you've followed through on?

My husband is a genius. He keeps the peace, knowing the futility of winning an argument with me.

This was funny. I wouldn't want to argue with you either.

A genius can work the right side of his brain. Very hard to do.

@misunderstood_zombie Yes, and the left I think deals more with common sense. Mostly everybody has that.

I'm sure it is. I read that Einstein's brain was small, but the out side ridges were quite deep.

I have lots of small good ideas but it's usually my husband who has to put them into action.

So you're the thinker and he's the doer. That sounded better in my head.

No, I haven't. I'm not that creative. A friend of mine once came up with a sure-fire million dollar idea. The problem was that we were extremely stoned, and it was forgotten by morning.

@misunderstood_zombie - The funny thing is, this happened back in the 80's. He still remembers coming up with the idea, but not the idea itself.

Even though I am creative in some ways..I don't think I have ever really had a genius idea.

I've thought before I had a great idea, but I would never do anything about it.

I like to think of myself as innovative, but I have never had that "aha" moment that benefits mankind.
