I think a genious is more intelligent (in some subject) than an average person. He is very clever and very quickly understands things in this field. I also guess a genious must be curious to learn new things and like to study very much. (Я думаю, гений более умный, чем обычный человек в какой-то области наук. Он очень сообразительный и быстро все схватывает в этой области. Думаю также, что гений должен быть любознательным и должен любить учиться.)

To my mind, you can't become a genious. It's a God's gift. (Думаю, нельзя стать гением. Это дар Божий.)
