  • How to be a genius like me

  • Nikola Tesla

  • Number one,make sure your brain has adequate blood flow

  • Your brain is your most important muscle.

  • More so than anything else.

  • To be a genius, like me, your brain will require a lot of blood.

  • Every night before bed I squeeze each toe 100 times!

  • To push the blood from my feet into my brain.

  • One.

  • Two.

  • Three.

  • Four.

  • Five.

  • Eighty-three.

  • Eighty-four.

  • Eighty-seven.

  • Wait.

  • Better start over.

  • One.

  • Two.

  • Three.

  • Number two, have blue eyes.

  • My mother and father both had brown eyes, and they were not geniuses.

  • But I have blue eyes, and I am a genius.

  • Coincidence?

  • I think not.

  • My brain uses so much mental energy,

  • that it has actually absorbed the melanin in my iris over time.

  • Causing my naturally dark eyes to become blue.

  • Number three,never write anything down.

  • Taking notes is for dummies.

  • Things like advanced calculus can easily be done all in your head,

  • so writing down notes and showing your process is unnecessary and will only slow you down.

  • There should be no evidence of your genius left after you die.

  • If you're having a hard time thinking of a solution to a problem,

  • a simple seizure where blinding lights

  • flash before your eyes should give you the answer in a vision.

  • Aha! 42!

  • Number four,work,work and more work.

  • Not everyone is fortunate enough to be born a genius, like me.

  • But there is no limit to the amount of things you can sacrifice for your work!

  • For example, I sleep less than 4 hours a night.

  • I have also never had any of those time wasting romantic entanglements.

  • Remember: Be Alone.

  • Be A Genius!

  • That is the secret to invention.

  • I mean, can you even name one invention that has been made by a married man?

  • I sure can't.

  • Number five,be thin and tall.

  • I am very tall and thin, and therefore I am very healthy.

  • I also only eat vegetables and it's a well-known fact that vegetarians are better people than non-vegetarians.

  • I also walk 8 to 10 miles per day and I have had zero weight variance in the last 40 years.

  • Strong tall thin body, strong mind.

  • Number six,personal grooming.

  • You must protect yourself from germs at all costs.

  • They're everywhere...

  • But soap is made from animals, so we can't use that.

  • That's why I invented a device that will zap all the germs on your body with glorious electricity!

  • It's the safe way to stay clean.

  • Number seven,don't let your enemies get too close.

  • Did you know that I invented the x-ray?

  • It's true!

  • I took the very first x-ray photograph ever.

  • And I would have proof too if that dog Edison hadn't burned my laboratory to the ground

  • along with all my radioactive material and frayed wires!

  • Check the description for a link to my video:

  • "Top 10 Reasons Thomas Edison Is Just The Worst And Is A Moron" if you'd like to know more.

  • Number eight,don't be too choosy about investors.

  • When you're a full-time genius inventor, like me,

  • you need to get your money from somewhere.

  • I thought my Ruby Death Ray invention would be a no-brainer for the American Military.

  • I even demonstrated how it would work!

  • But they were too short-sighted to recognize its moon-exploding potential.

  • And so I sold it to the Russians!

  • Number nine,don't believe everything you hear.

  • Theory of Relativity?

  • Bah!

  • Number ten, pigeons.

  • If, like me, you're too busy being a genius to have a wife,

  • a beautiful pigeon is just as good as a human woman to love and care for.

  • I remember there was this one pigeon...

  • She was different from all the others...

  • She had pure white feathers, with grey tips on her wings.

  • I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman.

  • And she loved me.

  • I even spent my entire life savings nursing her back to health after she broke her wing.

  • That is true love.
