Genius!

When you hear the word "genius," you might think of luminaries like Einstein, Mozart, or
Da Vinci. But how a person who achieves extraordinary success gets that way is the subject of debate. Were they born that way? Or does it come from sheer tenacity?

In this excerpt from a week-long series on "The Genius Within", The Takeaway talked to violinist Sarah Chang who was recognized as a child prodigy, recording her first album at age ten. Together with author David Shenk, the violinist shares some simple ingredients to astonishing success... Mainly practice, practice, practice.

Be careful... Genius Is Pain!
