In an interview on Radiolab, the brilliant Malcolm Gladwell put forth a revolutionary idea,

“So-called ‘geniuses’ are not, in fact, more talented, more evolved, more intelligent or more genetically-gifted than ‘regular folks’, but rather, they are actively in love with the object of their (vocational) affection. And they stay in love. For life…”

“Why are people so hostile to the notion that what genius is is an extraordinary love for a particular thing?”

So here’s my wish for you, this Valentine’s Day:

May you celebrate whatever + whomever you extraordinarily love.

That’s where you find genius, magic, and Life.
