Mediocrity & Genius

In the real sense, putting thoughts into exact words is difficult. Expressing ourselves is a difficult art...that's the real difference between a genius and mediocre person. Everybody is gifted with wonderful thoughts and it is unique and individualistic by nature...just by understanding this uniqueness will give us enough pride to express ourselves. Born as human being we are supposed to express ourselves in our own unique way....finding this unique quality or talent is the essence of life. The idea is not to compromise on our capabilities or talents.

The centre idea of Ayn Rand's books were about this uniqueness, which was displayed by the protagonistic. There is always a conflict between the mediocre person who has compromised his thoughts ( which always flows with the tide of society) and so-called genius, who does not compromise his ideas and goes about proving his worth. Most of the time, these people are cornered and subject to tiring tests to prove there claims. And most of the time, the mediocre with there excellent social skills, push the genius to the background and gets the credit. In real life, mediocrity always wins...for the time being...but it does not withstand the necessity to prove.

The afterthought is tht society always fears people who does not conform to the traditional pattern and they loathe change of any nature....
