What makes genius a genius

It's the first time i write for almost a month, because i was quite busy with my end year exam. However, my hardwork doesn't seem to be fruitful, and i'm pretty sure that i won't get good grad for this year. Hope next year will be a lot better, or otherwise i really have to kill myself.
Anyway, i read the newspaper a few days ago that was about two genius, one from Taiwan and another one from China. Actually i don't really feel "impressed" to read about their achievements (both are students of Harvard), because i think that the genius we always admire about share some commons, and that are the reason why we can't be a genius like they do.
Firstly, they are always very rich, maybe not very, but at least none of them are poor. They never have to think about the money they spent in their study, unlike the people like me. We have to worry about the tuition fees, bus fare (i think they always have a car for them), expenditure on books (books might sound not that burdening but to be a genius like they do, we need a lot of crazy books that cost a lot), study materials (computer, cds, internet...)...Sure they can be a genius, cause they don't have to spent their mental energy on these issues!
Secondly, they always have genius parents. They always have parents that are lawyers, doctors, profesor...And sure they know how they teach their children very well. But look at us! Our parents are all uneducated or at most they had only finished their primary education!
Thirdly, they don't have to go through a lot of things that we have gone through. For example, work for pocket money. They've everything they needed, and hence don't need to work to get what they want. But we're different, like me, i have to work part time for almost 4 months last year so that i can pay my tuition fees!
There are a lot more reasons why we can't be a genius like them. So, they are actually not that respectable, because they are just normal people with a favourable condition to be genius. I can't say they didn't make any effort, but just they have the conditions to pay the effort, but we don't. If we are in the same background like they do, don't you think that we can do the same?

If you really commit suicide,your parents will very sad and depressed.I know you also know you sabout it and that why you can pick yourself up.I know you have that idea when you can't get the result you wanted in spm.Of course you have your own standpoint about your future and i just want to say your future is important however you try your best is more important than that even though you can't achieve your target in the future.But if you want to do it,try your best to do it until last minute.
