This blog is about my new and overarching life goal to become a genius. While there is much debate on the subject, this article most clearly illustrates the point that with hard word, dedication, and persistence almost anyone can achieve the level of genius in a subject.
The catch is that I do not know which specific topic or area I wish to attain mastery in. I am interested in a great many things, and to limit myself to the dedicated study of only one field would seem to fall short of the capabilities I believe I (or anyone) have. Thus, I am going to try to become exceptionally competent at everything. I will not achieve mastery in everything, but even if I attain high levels of skill in only a few areas, it will have been worth it. If I attain full, complete, and deep mastery of only topic, I will have fulfilled my goal.
I fully recognize that this quest might take me many years or decades even. Yet I believe it to be a goal where the journey is more important than the end result. Achieving an exceptionally high level of mastery in anything can be lifelong quest. That quest starts now.
