Admire, Then Move!

With my genius being an observer (thanks to the Five Faces of Genius), i happen to give meticulous attention to every minute detail possible. Except, of course, to microscopic ones. But, as the book said, if left unexamined, this gift - having a power to notice details, might turn out to be a hindrance in accomplishing work. Believe me, too much attention to details can be debilitating.

So i realized, this is not all there is to being an observer. The most valuable gift an observer has, way over noticing details, is its power to be in awe. See, now i understand. That is why i have been admiring things around easily, ever since day one. No wonder i had so many crushes back when i was stiil in school (digressing).

Cliche i supoose, but a genius does not end in admiration alone. You admire, then you move! You move so that, while walking and working hand-in-hand with the object of your admiration, you become part of its greatness and you thus far contribute to greatness, something more priceless. Amazing.
