The Mischievous Genius

Some of the most intelligent and unique people on this Earth are not all that different from you or me. What truly sets them apart are four things. 1) They ask why. 2) They ask how 3) They look up for no other reason than to see what's there.  4) They take "I don't know" as a personal challenge. It is not I.Q. or originality that sets some of our most valued citizens apart but this crucial ability to look at the world and wonder and never stop wondering; to look and imagine and never stop imagining; to break standards and conventions not simply on accident or through contrivance but because it simply was in the way. These are the type of people that make impacts so profound that they are never not felt. These are the people we see echoes of in our daily life. They become archetypes through their impressions on society's psyche. These are the people that made "the mad scientist," "the cook philosopher," "the mischievous genius," or "the lonely prodigy."
