You're a genius! What, no one told you?

According to this article by Brian Tracy, http://newsblaze.com/story/20080226120127tsop.nb/newsblaze/TOPSTORY/Top-Stories.html, you are a genius. You just need to practice the skills of creative thinking.

A lot of what he says here makes sense. As a writer, I especially identify with Thomas Edison's famous quote about invention being one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. I know from experience that the idea plays an important, but small part in the writing process. The writing is the real work. My current manuscript has taken more than three years to write.

This article is definitely worth the read. You'll find some helpful tips about how to think creatively in all areas of your life.
