Inconsistency
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they’re going to catch you in next.

Balancing quality and quantity
Of course You have to be clear on the definition of genius: if You mean as a genius someone with a IQ over the average, IMHO You can work hard, but is a talent that either You have or You don’t.
But if You move for a moment to a more significant definition of someone standing out of the crowd, then working hard producing lot of work,in part of good quality.
This gives the perception to others of someone delivering on an average more quality than others.
And most of all is something You can control.
Do not wait to deliver the” mother of all deliveries”; instead try to have some high quality rushes in a lot of quantity. And recognition is behind the corner.
Children
Children are natural mimic who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Praising for success
Could seem that praising is the opposite of gaining authority, but is not like this.
Praising, if used carefully and with intelligence, is a really effective way to gain authority.
Praising uses a mechanism of confirmation of qualities expressed by other persons, either if it’s made towards people near to you personally or on work.
Praising seems a strange way to achieve and reinforce authority, but gives a clear signal of your ability and will to give a judgement on this person.
A selective (and effective) approach to praising people is a way to remember them your leading position.
Cyberiad
Cancel me not for what then shall remain? Abscissas, some mantissas, modules, modes, A root or two, a torus and a node: The inverse of my verse, a null domain.

Brontosaurus Principle
Organizations can grow faster than their brains can manage them in relation to their environment and to their own physiology: when this occurs, they are an endangered species.
