The secret of so many failures among those who started out with high hopes, is that they lacked will power. They could not half will: and what is a man without a will? He is like an engine without steam. Genius unexecuted is no more genius than an unlit lamp is a light in the world. The persistent man never stops to consider whether he is succeeding or not. The only question with him is how to push ahead, to get a little farther along, a little nearer his goal. Whether it lead over mountains, rivers, or morasses, he must reach it. Every other consideration is sacrificed to this one dominant purpose.

Genius is often Perseverance in disguise. No amount of genius ever had effect on this earth, except when being enforced with the will power to overcome all obstacles that presented themselves to every one who would rise above the circumstances in which he was born, or who would become greater than his fate. Tenacity of purpose never changes through ups and downs and turn of events or change of relations but overcomes all opposition only to arrive at its destination. This is the sign of a sovereign mind.

I once thought that genius was the key to power in life, but then I realized that there were so many people with lots of talent, genius and potential but never seemed to amount to anything. I found out that it is the will is the primary requirement to bring anything into realization.

Do you not see reason to interpret the word "genius" as a matter of opinion?
I agree that will is a powerful thing. I would add attitude and commitment as key tools to drive an individual in some direction.

True Genius is backed with Force of Mind.

Half Genius is only great ideas but not enforced with decision to realize them.

It is not the aptitude but the attitude that determines your altitude =)

One simple word explains it all and can get you everything you dream of, even genius, but without it you accomplish NOTHING...
