      I think it’s probably a little bit of nature, and lot of nurture. In other words, anyone can be a genius but they have to work at it.

      I think genius is something that we ascribe to people who appear to be naturally capable in one area (or lots of areas). I think this is often just a misinterpretation, as getting good at stuff always takes lots of practice.

      So I am on the genius made side, although not everybody has the capability of becoming a genius in a particular area.
