Genius, in Roman mythology, a protecting, or guardian, spirit. It was
believed that every individual, family, and city had its own genius. The
genius rec eived special worship as a household god because it was thought
to bestow success and intellectual powers on its devotees. For this reason,
the word came to designate a person with unusual intellectual powers. The
genius of a woman was sometimes referred to as a juno. In art, the genius
of a person was frequently depicted as a winged youth; the genius of a
place, as a serpent.
So a genius is a very smart person who born at few centuries . I can get
examples from all the world : Albert Einstein in Physics , Thomas Edison -
a genius of inventions , Michelangelo in Arts , Mihai Eminescu in Romanian
Lyrics , Iulia Hasdeu , George Enesco , ... ( and the list goes on ...) .
Further on , I studied their carrer and I have informations about them :
1 . Thomas Edison
American Thomas Alva Edison patented more than 1000 inventions in his
lifetime, including the elec tric lightbulb -a well known symbol for a
bright idea , the phonograph, and a transmitter that made Alexander Bell's
telephone a usable instrument on a wide scale.
Thomas Alva Edison did not invent the modern world. He was, however,
present at its creation. Having come of age just after the mid-19th century-
1997 marked the 150th anniversary of his birth-he became a significant
figure in the organization and growth of American national markets,
communications and power systems, and entertainment industries.
2 . Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is considered one of the greatest and most popular
scientists of all time. Three papers he published in 1905 were pivotal in
the development of physics and, to a large degree, Western thought. These
papers discussed the quantum nature of light, provided a description of
molecular motion -cosmology, and introduced the special theory of
relativity. Einstein was famous for continually reexamining traditional
scientific assumptions and coming to straightforward, elegant conclusions
no one else had reached. He is less famous for his social involvement,
although he was a staunch supporter of both pacifism and Zionism. Einstein
discusses with his friends about peace and try commends nonviolence.
3 . Michelangelo
Michelangelo (1475-1564), Italian painter, sculptor, architect, and poet
whose artistic accomplishments exerted a tremendous influence on his
contemporaries and on subsequent European art.
Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in the small village of Caprese and grew
up in Florence.
His architecture has a human aspect to it, in which a door, window, or
support may refer to the face or body, or the position of architectural
elements may suggest muscular tension.
Michelangelo continually sought challenge, whether physical, artistic, or
intellectual. He favored media that required hard physical labor-marble
carving and fresco painting. In painting figures, he chose poses that were
