This I Thought was True
A Genius’ Life Would Be Easy And Cool

A genius’ life would be easy and cool. This I thought was true. My sister has told me repeatedly she wishes to have the brain of a genius. This is what I told her: Have you ever worked with people who are completely incompetent or talked to someone who doesn’t seem to have a thought in his head? That’s what a genius feels like, every single day. The magician may laugh at the audience for being tricked, but who is having a better time? Besides, study says that for every great skill, it takes about 10,000 hours to master it. That’s 20 hours a week for 10 years. Bill Gates started using computers at the age of 13 and he spent more than 10,000 hours programming it. Geniuses have to work hard, too.
