Genius made not Born

Read an interesting article in New Scientist (?) the other day.
The interesting conclusion was that genius is much more a product of
environment rather than genetics.

The upshot is that people who are really good at something
generally work really hard to get that way. Harder than everyone else.
Generally, they have a real love for what they do, which makes it
easier for them to be dedicated.

The good news for us all is that we all can be geniuses (genii ?)
The bad news is that most of us don't want it badly enough.
