Jarus:

Your not-so-great opening gave a bad impression (first impression matters), but along the line, you did well. Work on your opening. Opening is very key in debates.
A school boy error: The name of your school is, "The Polytechnic, Ibadan"; not," the polytechnic ibadan". Take note of proper nouns.
You did well, but your opening almost spoiled your efforts.

noted

Good day to the esteemed judges, erudite coordinators, fellow debaters, and the informed spectators. I am Darrytoz, the second speaker of the polytechnic ibadan. I am here to speak on the motion ''geniuses are made not born''.

GENIUS:an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity.

"Genius are made, not born'', this encouraging saying has driven a great number of parents to explore their children's potential by all educational means. Books like The Da Vinci curse by Leonardo Lospernato do a good job of summing up a problem of our time that anyone striving to be a universal genius will inevitably fail.
Because today, unlike in Da Vinci's time, there is so much competition out there in every field that only people who devote themselves to one subject are successful. Anyone who wants to be a professional high flyer, the 'father of the year', a star violinist, a globetrotter and an art connoisseur all at once should either rethink his priorities or feel satisfied about being incredibly mediocre in each of these fields. After all, it is rare for a genius to be an all-rounder.

Alleged geniuses like Mozart, Geoethe and Picasso are not famous the world over for their unique inborn gifts, they were simply lucky enough to be born with a certain amount of talent that they could then activate with a whole lot of hard work and dedication. Anyone who wants to emulate a genius should take note of the fact that neither Mozart nor Einstein changed his profession every couple of years.
One reason why Steve Jobs was so successful was that he put all his energy into one thing and in the process sacrificed his chance of ever winning the 'father of the year' award. It is not to say that his path does not have potholes, traffic and detours, but instead that only people who experiment without fear of failure and accept that they can learn from it are bound to produce great things.
Over 100 years ago, Napoleon Hill asked himself whether the success of outstanding personalities could be explained by a formula. Did they all use the same toothpaste? Did they all follow the same traveling priest? Hill's answer which he used as as the basis for his book ''Think and Grow Rich'', was far more rudimentary for him, success and wealth were the consequence of having a clear goal and a burning desire to achieve it. And so, we can reinforce what we already knew about Mozart, Einstein and Jobs: they all worked hard and were ready to accept mistakes and failures.

Despite the widely-held belief that geniuses are all child prodigies, a race apart from ordinary mortals, a British psychologist claimed that the secret of their success lay more in hard work than in any innate intellectual gifts.
Genuine creative achievements depend more on perseverance over the long haul than on prodigrous childhood skills. We cannot all be geniuses but we can learn from them. What makes geniuses special is their long-term commitment. They struggle very hard and they keep on persisting. They enjoy their work. They excel at concentrating and persevering. Their efforts are focused, and all geniuses have a firm sense of direction. Like everybody else, even the greatest minds that have ever existed have had to struggle and strive to achieve their goals.

In conclusion, people can only truly be geniuses or achieve success if they work hard and consciously choose certain options over others. Veering off the paths of mediocrity and taking drastic measures. Becoming a genius is both a choice, that is within everyone's reach, and a difficult journey that one has to necessarily undertake (a quest that challenges you to self-actualize).
Genius become what they want to and manifest what their hidden potentialities are to state otherwise or to assert that they are either born or made is to continue paying homage to a false dichotomy that has longed outlived its usefulness. Thank you.

Lawsimon:
Being able to read others, think through before doing anything - being extra careful in life, being kind and having a heart that can't harm or hurt are parts of my introverted life I cherish alot. I don't easily get angry and I easily forgive too. Infact, I don't know how to keep malice or bear grudges against another. On the women aspect, I hate double dating and I'm not an expert in lying like some guys that I know. I'm very selective and only few girls can catch my attention, but very rare. This has made two female family friends of mine to say that I am a waste to women folks. They said this because of my looks. Concerning privacy, it's sancrosanct; I need quiet time to think and imagine (i take alot of pleasure in this). As quiet as I am, when I'm found in my comfortzone, you'll hardly recognize that I'm the one, especially interms of speaking. People often misunderstand me because of my quietness. Sometimes I feel bad and wish if they could understand and appreciate how rare I am. However, few people, mostly my few selected close friend do understand me. In all, I take solace in the fact that I am creative and that cannot be taken away from me. Reading is my number one hubby (it's fun). Op, I really appreciate this. It has given me wider understanding of myself.

u said it all bro.............. I love that life style
