An Introduction
SPIRIT AND SUCCESS
Geniuses are few and far between!
It has been already proved that genes have nothing to do with genes. Even the home atmosphere may or may not contribute the achievements of a person.
Surprisingly even physical challenges and mental disabilities did not seem to dampen their spirit to succeed!
An ordinary man may accept his lot, wallow in self pity, demand sympathy from everyone in his circle and become a parasite for life.
But those persons were determined to win in spite of every physical challenge and restriction placed on them by the cruel hands of Fate.

Now coming to the underlined sentences of your post.
What is meant by genes have nothing to do with genes? Is it a typo ?
The second statement about an ordinary man wallowing in self pity etc. Isnt that a cliche' or rhetoric? We have billions and billions of ordinary people and we do not even have a demonstrable sample size to judge if they are wallowing in self pity or not. For all I know they also try to eke out their sustenance in the best way they possible can.
Will the purport of this message be reduced if this sentence is deleted or edited? This series is after all meant for ordinary folks, so why put him on the defensive at the start?
