When properly applied, common sense is a form of genius…
I. Common Sense is Genius Dressed in Working Clothes
My old college roommate flew up to visit me over the weekend. Because I had an event the following morning, I cut our catch-up time short.
“If you need an extra blanket,” I said, “check the guest bedroom’s closet.”
He nodded.
We did our cheesy handshake.
Just before retiring for the night, though, I cracked open my supplements’ cabinet. My buddy gawked at me, as I cranked open bottle top after bottle top… assembly-line style — dishing vitamins into my pill container.
In total, I downed about 20 different multi-colored supplements.
My buddy scrunched his nose, scratching his head. “Leo… what’re you doing, bro?” he said.
I smiled. “Oh, each night before going to bed, I take supplements that boost my immune system and support brain health.”
His blank expression suggested I needed to fill in the blank.
I waved him over. “You see…” I said, pointing to echinacea, zinc, selenium, elderberry, etc., “these supplement Nature’s work while she busies herself revitalizing my body during rest.”
