When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.

Great abilities often seem to arrive where they are needed, as if circumstance called them out of people. Crises produce leaders, open questions produce thinkers, and the pressure of a real problem can draw capacities out of someone that were invisible in calmer times. Seen this way, genius is less a lucky accident than a response.

Look at the problem in front of you that nobody has solved. You may be closer to the right person for it than you think, not because you are extraordinary but because you are here and the need is real. Give it your full attention and see what emerges.
