His philosophy explored human desire, suffering, perception, and the nature of reality. Although often pessimistic about human existence, he had a lasting influence on thinkers, writers, and artists, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Wagner, and Albert Einstein.Arthur Schopenhauer once said:“Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see.”The idea appears in Schopenhauer’s expanded 1844 edition of The World as Will and Representation, in the chapter “On Genius.” The popular English wording is a translation/paraphrase rather than a literal word-for-word rendering.This quote is interesting because we all know talented people that have exceptional skills at something. But where is the line between talent and genius?Schopenhauer is saying that talent allows you to do things others can’t do but genius allows you do things others can’t even see.One person becomes exceptionally good at playing the game, the other imagines an entirely new game.The biggest developments in history have become reality because someone imagined a completely new way of doing something.Before an innovation becomes obvious, someone has to imagine that things could work differently. The Wright brothers saw the possibility of powered flight that nobody else believed was possible. Other inventors and engineers have imagined new ways to communicate, generate energy and treat disease.A lot of the technology we take for grante

Arthur Schopenhauer - “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see.”
