“Genius is an intellect that has become unfaithful to its destiny.”
— Arthur Schopenhauer

Simplified Meaning:
When someone is called a genius, it means they have special talents or a very powerful brain. But, if they do not follow their true path or make the most of their abilities, it is like they are cheating their own potential. Imagine a very skilled artist who stops painting because they get caught up in making money in a different job. This person is not doing what they are truly meant to do, and they are not using their main talent. So, their amazing talent is wasted. To avoid this, people should try to understand what they are best at and make sure to use those skills, instead of ignoring them or choosing easier, less meaningful paths. This way, they can fully achieve what they are meant to in life.
