Einstein was asked for the secret to genius.

Most expected an answer long and sour, but Einstein kept it short and sweet: “The secret to creativity is knowing how to HIDE your sources.”

THE INSTANTLY “SMARTER” HACK

I. The TRUE SECRET to GENIUS

Experience is the hard teacher that gives test before study guides. ..

For this reason, the “geniuses” who aced her course all knew one thing. And that one thing was best summed up by Socrates—aka, the student who graduated magna cum laude in the School of Life:

Wise indeed is whoever truly understands there is nothing new either over or under the Sun!

To put it simply:

Because the philosophers of the world have already said everything important that needs to be said . . . the genius removes the letter ‘K’ from what people Knew yesterday and repackages it as NEW today.”

Today, we call these age-old insights proverbial sayings.

To put it simply:

the hack for becoming smarter merely entails ingesting the proverbial vitamins for thought . . . digesting them . . . metabolizing them . . . and then eliminating them into your daily life.

Bingo!

Because example is better than precepts, let’s use real-life cases to shed light on the Smarter Hack.

A student forgot to do his homework for biology class.

The teacher demands to know why?

After all, the damsel in distress forgot to heed that old African proverb:

The other day my cousin asked me for the “secret to making friends.”

I heaved a sigh before saying, “Young fella, ever notice a dog lets his owner do all the talking?”

My cousin nodded.

“And so,” I continued, “imitate the canine, which isn’t too fond of talking yet understands.”

Hawking met his death-day on Einstein’s birthday.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. …

Hawking just so happened to be born on the very same day the Father of Modern Science died (Galileo).

As for Galileo's death-day, it occurred the same year Sir Isaac Newton was born.

In short, History’s 4 most influential physicists are all linked on the same scientific chain.

Goes to show ya, there’s something to the proverbial saying:

Bingo!

In short, each morning gobble up a few of these proverbial vitamins for thought.

And if you wish to boost your intelligence to GENIUS level . . . your wish is my command: The HEAVEN on EARTH CODE.
