Giddy about a book

It's so fun for me to go to my public library. The one in Orem, UT is stacked floor to ceiling on three levels with books on every subject imaginable. One moment I'm looking into worlds of wonder, then learning about how they might be someday. My library is an adventure for me.

Before I start sounding like a bad public service announcement, (or maybe after) I'll shift gears a bit.

Learning. Knowledge. I've begun formulating a theory that true genius is the ability to apply knowledge from another, seemingly unrelated subject to the problem at hand. Making cars in a line. Running electricity through a filament. these are both examples of knowledge applied from outside sources.

To the true genius, learning to change a tire and rocket science are one and the same. If you think about it, everything can be broken down to it's smallest pieces. From there, it really isn't that hard. Building a rocket is really just a bunch of metal and fuel and stuff.

What do you think?
