I just read an interesting article that scientists have discovered 3 things that are common to geniuses (not smart, but genius.) They are: 1) left-handedness or ambidextrous. This is because geniuses' brains are more well balanced than the rest of us. That is not necessarily good, because it can also cause mental retardation and/or mental problems. We know that many geniuses had mental health problems, but didn’t know it had to do with a balanced brain. We righties have an unbalanced brain that allows us to differentiate better. 2) Sense of humor. They gave many examples of this from geniuses. They also said, think of that quiet person who says funny things while no one listens to them. Often this is what they called black humor, and they credit it to geniuses seeing the world more accurately than others. 3) Laziness. Seems funny, but they say that geniuses can spend a lot of time just thinking about their own thoughts. Da Vinci took 15 years to finish his greatest work. Bill Clinton was always late, and did everything at the last minute. It says that many geniuses never accomplish anything because of this characteristic. Wow! I am definitely NOT a genius! I love humor, but I’m not that clever. I am almost early. And I am right handed. How about you? I'd rather be a normal person, and not be at risk for mental illness. I am happy to laugh at other’s jokes. And maybe in retirement I might learn to be a little late. --Cynthia
