    The Intellectual Toolkit of Geniuses - I. C. Robledo

    An Introduction to the Intellectual Toolkit of Geniuses

    If you’ve ever wanted to learn to think more like a genius, you’ve come to the right place. Truly smart people have a different way of viewing the world. They ask unique questions. They don’t accept simple yes or no answers to tough questions. They always want to learn more, to better themselves, and to prepare themselves for the next great challenge.

    Geniuses do not look to take the easy path. They enjoy seeking intellectual challenges. They enjoy finding people that have other points of views, and discovering why they think that way. Geniuses do not assume they have all the answers, or that they are the smartest person. They believe there is always room to grow, to become better and smarter.

    A genius is someone who puts in the work. They choose their path and they focus on it with the intensity of a laser beam. The greatest geniuses are those who transform our understanding of reality through experiments, inventions, or discoveries. Some of these would be Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, and William Shakespeare. Realize that genius can be learned. The greatest geniuses use principles to guide their thinking, and in this book you will learn them.

    I came up with these principles from researching geniuses in history, interacting with geniuses, and studying geniuses. They have shared with me their collective intellectual toolkit, and now I want to share it with you so you can become one step closer to genius.

    Principle #1: Don’t make assumptions.

    To see things as they are, avoid assuming that you know what someone is thinking, or that you know their motivations. You may have clues or ideas, but you should avoid making assumptions until you have enough information to be sure you know what is really happening. Assumptions will make you feel like a fool when you are wrong. They will also be a waste of precious brain power, as you will often analyze something that is based on a faulty assumption. If you do that, you will waste more time and resources. Focus your attention elsewhere and you will be more productive. If something is important, be direct and find out what you need to know, rather than assuming.

    Principle #2: Learn from multiple formats or methods.

    It is true that people learn in different ways. Some learn better through reading, others through listening, seeing, or doing. When learning something new, it is a good idea to start with one method of learning, perhaps your favorite first. When you come across a barrier where you don’t understand, try another way. Keep doing this until you make progress and finally understand. Even just with the internet you can use books, Wikipedia, YouTube, and free Open Courseware. You will learn more quickly and holistically through multiple sources. Understand that the real world will not allow you to choose how to learn from it. At work you
