The Genius Sensation

When I hear the word genius the very first person who comes to mind is Mark Zuckerberg. He is the creator of the immensely popular social networking cite that has come to be Facebook. He has made a name for himself not only in the United States but all over the world. If there is internet, then you better believe they know about Facebook. More recently there has even been a release of a movie based on his success which is called the Social Network. Once the movie came out it was a popular topic amongst all and he quickly became known as the youngest, most successful billionaire in the world.

What makes Mark Zuckerberg a genius is his natural talent for intelligence. After seeing the movie it was obvious that his knowledge of working with computers and their programming was way beyond his years. He applied his wisdom of computers to how young adults would like to interact with one another. However if we take a closer look, would you say that it was his knowledge alone that declared him a genius? Would all of the world still see him as a genius if Facebook never blew up and became the sensation that it has? Does being a genius mean you have to have a great success and become some famous and incredibly known individual? Is it about making a name for yourself or is it based on the knowledge alone? Think about it. If no one knew what was going on in that magnificent brain, then we would declare you a normal average thinker. Being a genius is not only having a massive amount of creativity and intelligence but also being able to have others see you that way. It requires a perfect balance, thus the reason we have labeled Mark Zuckerberg the genius that he is.
