Is A genius God Gifted ?

Is a Genius God gifted? Or does he have a very sharp brain? This question has always puzzled me and slowly my urge to unfold this mystery rebounded.
So let me try to answer this question by telling you what is brain and how it works.

Our brain has trillions of cells .In our brain or cortex we have over 100 billion active cells called neurons. Each individual neuron is more powerful than most computers on earth.

It is not however the number of these wonderful little SUPERCOMPUTERS, that determine “INTELLIGENCE”. Each neuron has the potential to make 20,000 different connections with other neurons.

Put very simply, INTELLIGENCE is a function of two factors, namely:-

a) The number of functional neurons and more importantly,
b) The number of dendrite connections in our brain!

The first determines the size of the brain and its potential capacity. This does not vary a great deal between individuals.

We all have the same basic potential. We have the same brain capacity and potential as EINSTEIN and VISHWANATHAN ANAND. The real difference is the number of connections between each neuron. This is where a ‘GENIUS’ is made.

When we challenge our mental capacity by learning new things and going beyond our intellectual comfort zone, we will be creating new dendrites and new connections to other parts of our brain. We will be increasing our intelligence.

So, my dear friends who have been stressing their gray matter since ages and still cannot get through, let me tell you it is never too late to start the process of making yourself into a genius. All we need is a firm determination. Even the scientists are convinced that the ability to increase our brain density by stimulating the growth of new dendritic connections continues throughout life….IT DOES NOT DIMINISH with age!

Complying with a famous belief which says – “EVERYONE IS SPECIAL “. I guess now you might agree with me and start making new dendrite connections!!
