So that is how everybody is a genius. They may not be recognized
  - they may not even recognize it themselves. Is this part of my
  belief system? Yes. Is it unsubstantiated? Well, I can't test
  all 7 billion people. Are there exceptions? Possibly.

  The thing is: There's *really* no way to know if someone is a
  genius if their power or ability doesn't come forth.

  Example: Poor education. Someone could have the CAPABILITY of
  genius in a particular area but due to shoddy teaching
  methodologies, it never gets exercised. The capability never
  groomed, never given room to be expressed. Hence, wasted.

  [and yes, I am equating genius to a commodity - but not
  necessarily a public commodity but a private one]

  That's why I'm so gung-ho about encouraging creativity. Natural
  tendencies *can* be encouraged to grow. They can also be stunted
  quickly and for the rest of a person's life by a single word
  said at the wrong time.
