Hello Shawn,
To my knowledge there have been some great people with great wisdom who have in fact achieved tremendous accomplishments in their numerous works and artistic fields, but who in fact can be labelled a genius.
A genius is a person, a body of work, or a singular achievement of surpassing excellence. More than just originality, creativity, or intelligence, genius is associated with achievement of insight which has transformational power. …
The genius displays originality, creativity, and the ability to think and work in areas not previously explored. Though geniuses have usually left their unique mark in a particular field, studies have shown that the general intelligence of geniuses is also exceptionally high. Genius appears to be a function of both hereditary and environmental factors.
