Ahh, yes, I get it now. Like a lamp without a reflector is just a light, but the correct reflector can focus the light to an intense beam. The tighter the focus, the more brilliant the beam. And a bright enough beam can cut through anything! That works for me 🙂

Thank you, Miriam!

The idea is to focus and do the very best one can. That is one way to be “brilliant.” Thanks for reading!

If it were a matter of choice, wouldn’t there be many more brilliant people? I mean, “brilliant” is one of those descriptors that seems to be universally desirable, so why wouldn’t everyone want to be “brilliant”? And where do the “basics” give way to the, well . . . non-basics? Maybe I don’t understand “brilliant” the same way sports-people do, but I’ve seen people trying to appear smarter (“brilliant”?) than they actually are and it’s frankly embarrassing. Surely you must mean something else, no?

Thanks!
LiLi
