The theme for August is Genius. What is genius? To most traditionalists, it is the ability to simplify high order differential equations or the talent of stringing together the most esoteric words of the dictionary, effortlessly. To art lovers, it’s the encapsulation of iconoclasm in the form of sculptures and paintings, while sports fans see genius in the craft with which Sachin Tendulkar plays cricket. I personally see genius in the intricacy with which the seamstresses at Chanel weave details on to coats. The truth is that Genius is really all around us, it’s subjective, yes, but really all of us are capable of relishing it.
Taking a moment to appreciate the brilliant science and beauty behind the uniqueness of a snowflake is genius itself. Yes, you read correctly. It’s not always an occurrence that needs to be genius. Much like a melancholic poem or perfectly balanced income statement needs a special kind of person to find value in its beauty, it takes a genius to well, recognize genius. We can all be deemed geniuses in the realms we find passion or prowess in, in the same way writers become Gods of the vast universes they build in their stories.
Come tune into the August edition of Creative Mornings at Barsha Heights Dubai to rediscover what sets you apart as a genius and hear about what veteran communications expert, Lorne Riley has to say on this piquant subject.
As always we kick off with some background music that is curated by Dale Nichols.
