Word of the day

Start your day with a new word, a new quote, and a new mindset.

The word of the day for 1 October is: Genius.

Genius, as a quality, is defined as an exceptional intellectual or creative power, or other ability. When a person is a genius, he or she is said to be exceptionally intelligent or skilful in a particular area.

Albert Einstein described genius as taking the complex and making it simple. In a society where there are so many right and wrong ways to do things, the creative ideas are seen as the mad ones, and sometimes by over-analysing and over-complicating situations, we lose sight of our goals.

In the quote of the day, madness is described as genius.

As a woman who was constantly criticised and never stuck to the norm, Marilyn Monroe changed the definition of what it is to be confident, beautiful and successful. Her confidence and out of the box personality made her an icon.

We must find the beauty in all our flaws because they are what make us unique, and without a little chaos and adventure, how are we to ever evolve and reach our full potential? It is the unique, out of the box thinkers that make a change. You may be judged now for the way you dream and the possibilities you see – but in the end, the interesting ideas are the ones that will make the most change.
