"Discover your Genius"

So Im reading this book called "Discover your Genius" written by Micheal Gelb, and it is amazing!!!! It's about all the historical geniuses such as Plato, Ghandi, Da Vinci and few others. My favorite so far is Plato a philosopher who brought the teachings of Socrates to everyone and also taught Aristotle. One of the things that really stood out to me was his quote "We must reject the conception of education professed by those who say that they can put into the mind knowledge that was not there before." Which means that teachers aren't here to give us knowledge, but to bring the knowledge out of us.Everyone since birth knows anything there is to know, we have just forgot it somewhere along the way, but deep in our soul all the information is there. We must find the right mentor to bring it out of us.

WE ARE ALL CAPABLE, basically.

HOW SHERMAN ALEXIE'S BOOK INSPIRED ME

So reading Sherman Alexie's book "Diary of a Part Time Indian," I felt some what inspired. Junior or Arnold, whatever you want to call him, came from a poor family and a rez filled with a bunch of people who never followed their dreams. Junior left the rez to attend a better school and follow his dreams so he doesn't end up like everyone around him. After reading this book I decided to hit the local library and pick up any book that caught my eye. I checked out over 10 books about success, wisdom, intuition and other things that can help me reach my dreams.

Basically Junior took control of his life by getting out of his rez, so I decided to take control of my life by getting out of my strict mindset and exploring new knowledge. Junior became successful, and as corny as I am about to sound.... I will be successful too...

6 WORD MEMOIR

TOMORROW'S
ALWAYS
YESTERDAY'S
LEARNED
OBJECTIVE
REPEATED.

So basically what my memoir means is that everyday we learn something new, overcome something, or learn a lesson. The next day we actually apply what we learned. My memoir might not sound to good, but I tried to be creative and use the letters of my name to create a 6 word memoir.
