Or bit less, as the case might be. Sometimes it's easy to mistake expertise for genius too. Ultimately true talent cannot be earned, just wasted or ignored. One problematic thing in the list is about passion and goals. You can become an expert or even a great, but passions and goals change for a variety of reasons. A common one that will stop achievement dead on is being passionate for your family, or wanting to do something good or memorable for the world that does not align with what you do. Changing your mind is the most human thing one can do. Many a genius did not have a clear passion, but they had a different drive, such as solving a puzzle or wanted pure knowledge, or liked recognition; combined with grit and creativity and a fair degree of luck that alone can get one to genius. Material concerns are more sure to torpedo genius than stress or even disability.
