Becoming Brilliant
..
..
Who doesn’t wish to be brilliant? To come up with exciting and amazing ideas, to think what others have not thought, to have a “beautiful mind” are aspirations most humans have.
But how exactly can one become brilliant? Is it possible at all to become brilliant - that is, cultivate brilliance - or is brilliance something that is inborn?
These are difficult questions. But we try to answer these in this section of Billion Dollars Questions.
This page – like all the other pages at BillDoll.com, The Billion Dollar Questions Site - is a work-in-progress and stuff will get added regularly.
