Well, this statement is really old, and is quoted as being from Einstein, evenmcnoone wrote:This is incorrect."Geniuses are made, not born"
Geniuses like all other people are most certainly born.
Not to mention that cultural relativism is a long gone dead idea.
The only thing relative is ones physical position.
You can say that culture is relational, but it most certainly is not relative.
It is also shown that there are many factors that go into creating geniuses, and the biological aspects are just as important as the nurturing influences, and that the biological influences also predate the cultural ones, where their influences are still helping to make winners and losers of us all to this day.
Fell free to disagree, though...https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/apr/15/6
And also this: "Michael Jordan is considered a basketball “genius”, but he was initially rejected from his university's basketball team because he was too short. His mother told him that the only thing he could do was to prove his coach wrong. And, leaving his disappointment behind, he started to improve his performance.
Since then, all through autumn, winter and summer, he reached school earlier than his coach to practice and quickly made himself a favourite player in the junior team. He spurred his team mates on, demanding from them the same intensity he expected from himself, and tried persuading the coach to urge the team to work harder.
Yet, at the end of the day, the coach-assistant said that Michael was “A resentful loser that keeps insisting everyone to play as hard as he does”. Michael's good intentions were repaid with doubt and accusation.
At the beginning of the first year, Michael’s height increased by 10 cm. his large hands gave him the advantage of catching and holding ball better and he was able to do slam dunks. His coach was delighted with Michael’s height and everyone just couldn't ignore his talent any longer.
After his breakthrough into success, he said in an interview: whenever I achieve some success but feel so tired, I often think to give up and leave everything. But then I close my eyes and see again that list that didn’t include my name. Usually by doing that my spirit is revived”.

Phrase to retain: "Einstein programmed his own brain,"
