The Genius that Matters Most
By having humility and purpose in our learning, we can be more like Jesus Christ.
Neal A. Maxwell, “Out of the Best Faculty,” Brigham Young University Speeches, 26 Aug 1993
Consider ways you can become more meek and Christlike in your learning.
"Isn’t it marvelous how Jesus deflected credit from himself? Even after his excruciating atonement, he meekly said, ‘Glory be to the Father’! (See D&C 19:19.) In the miraculous healings during his mortal messiahship, his encouraging phrase often was, ‘Thy faith hath made thee whole,’ almost as if he had not been involved. The genius that matters most, therefore, is safely enclosed in meekness and is anchored in righteous purposes. Unanchored brilliance merely adds to the turbulence, when ‘all things shall be in commotion.’"
