POPSWorking hard to be genius! "These are stories about people who were given a special opportunity to work really hard and seized it, and who happened to come of age at a time when that extraordinary effort was rewarded by the rest of society." Very interesting. there is a tendency to prefer stories of sudden success, hidden fate, and so on Vs. the ones that mention the hard work it takes to be a genius. i think it is related to responsibility. whereas in the first it seems like it is 'out of my control' so i, the human involved, just have to accept and agree to the circumstances. The latter stresses the point that one parameter that is involved has a lot to do with what one is doing and how much he is willing to prioritize his resources toward a direction...
