Genuine

The words "genius" and "genuine" are almost identical, and they proceed from the same Latin root word. The key to genius is genuineness. The more you are who you are, the more your genius comes forth. On the other hand, the more you sell out and try to be what you think you should be or live up to others' expectations, the more you stifle your brilliance. Source: A Complete Genius by Alan Cohen
