——要保持健康。古話說，“有一個健康的身體，才會有一個健康的大腦。”因此，保持身體處于最佳狀態(tài)十分重要，這樣你的大腦才會有效地工作。Aswellasbeingaphilosopher,poetandpolitician,Sophocleswasalsoachampioninsportsandwonmanyprizes.LeonardodaVinciwasfamousforhisstrengthandspecialabilityinridinghorses.Soitisclearthen,thattobeageniusistopushthelimits,inyourmind,andbeyond.Para.14-15索?？死账共粌H是哲學家、詩人和政治家，還是一個得過很多獎的體育冠軍。列奧納多·達·芬奇騎馬時所展示的力量和技能也是十分出名的。所以很明顯，要成為天才，就是要達到并超越你所認為的極限。
