People of genius do not excel in any profession because they

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who possess great genius or talents are not necessarily exceptional solely because they have chosen a particular profession or field of work. Instead, they are drawn to a specific profession because their exceptional abilities naturally excel in that area. Essentially, their innate talents and capabilities drive their success in a particular field, rather than the other way around. Their work is a means for them to express, showcase, and further develop their existing genius.
