Talent versus genius

A few months back, I was fortunate enough to meet my idol: Kenny Dalglish, the former Liverpool soccer player and manager. The event was lovely: a fundraiser for his wife Marina’s charity. It’s a great cause – and if you can spare £5 to buy a brick for the new radiotherapy unit they’re trying to build, do please click here.

Ian Rush played for Liverpool at much the same time. He commented of Dalglish in his autobiography, published last year, that:
“Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what the talented find impossible is genius.”
​Forget football: that’s just a wonderfully insightful quote – thought-provoking in any walk of life, including proposals.

(Come across a genius recently on one of your proposal efforts? What made them so different to the other folks with whom you work?)
