"things" that no one had

I believe that the definition of genius is determined by the scientific water level of the times. Even the great Einstein had an IQ of 126. Yet, five years later, he published a theory worthy of a Nobel Prize. My past trajectory began when I received an epiphany one summer night at the age of 18 that this world is made up of illusions called fiction. I was casually turning on the TV and saw a group of fans following an idol celebrity. I asked myself, "Why do people get so carried away?" It was a bolt of inspiration. From that moment on. I learned that we all believe in fiction and have a yearning and interest in it. While still in the realm of boys, I was fascinated by the content of what the world calls business; my two cousins were on the path of doctors, but I think it was a revelation that led me down a different and unique path. The power of fiction created "altruistic behavior," turned into their own futures, dreams, and hopes, and created fantasy. In other words, people believed in fiction and were convinced that they were born to ENJOY. They immersed themselves in providing the various interests of people by embodying them in the consumption of goods and services.
