Words of Wisdom -- Everybody is a Genius

By Chief Master Sgt. Jose A. LugoSantiago 628th Air Base Wing Command Chief

Sunny morning or afternoon...wherever you are today, carry the sun within you!

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." --Albert Einstein

This week's thought reminds us about the talents inherent in all of us. Everyone is a genius -- Ok, I admit, these words make me feel pretty good this morning!

These words came from a theorical physicist, a person who is considered one of the most prolific intellects in human history. Regardless, the wisdom in his thought comes from the discovery that we all have been given brilliance. Of course, not all of us in the same way, but each of us and those around us hold the key to unveiling mysteries.

Our work this week is to discover those talents, the brilliance in us and others. Then, set the stage and opportunities to align with talents so we can discover the genius among us.

This week, Share and BE GREAT!

Always motivated, Chief LugoSantiago
