When I find myself thinking about things the way you do (according to what you've said here), I said to myself: "DO something and stop whinning!" Dont be satisfied with the things that come out of some intellectuall exercise only, try to check them in the real world, I dont believe that being a genius is a something youre born with. DO things, be smart, read Druckers "Managing Oneself", and maybe we all can do something meaningful out of this.
