They must love the things what they doing very much. If for you it’s just a job, you cannot put all your heart into it. For example, some famous film star, I think other people can say, they are crazy when they do their jobs. I think some people, like me I always do the things objectively, but for me, I think they should be on the subjective. Some people maybe work very hard, but they might not be able to reach the level as genius.

Revised:

They must love the things that they are doing very much. If it’s just a job for you then you cannot put all your heart into it. For example, some famous film star – I think other people can say, that they are crazy doing their jobs/what they love. I think some people, like me I always do things objectively, but for me, I think they should be more subjective. Some people might work very hard, but they might not be able to reach the same level as a genius.
