Genius, the game changer.

Genius, like creativity, is a word that we see all the time. It is also one of the terms that we use nonchalantly, but when we are asked to define it, we struggle. To me, a genius is a game changer. If you think about it, there is someone out there who changes the way we see things. Babe Ruth changed the game of baseball; The Beatles altered the sound of music; Edgar Allan Poe composed a new genre of novels; da Vinci painted masterpieces and changed the way that art was perceived. Everything, not just "creative" activities, have different game changers; they all have a genius that alters our own perspectives.
