How to reconnect with the genius in you?

We’re all geniuses, or at least we were once upon when we were very young. But unfortunately, most of us got disconnected from their inner genius in the education and socialization process. As the ingenious architect Richard Buckminster Fuller put it: “Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.”
