> We need to accept our genetic limits and act accordingly.
This statement reminds me a lot of the movie Gattaca.
One should never discount the importance of ambition, work ethic and passion.

That said, ambition, work ethic and passion are also important, but they're a product of genetics too.
Take two guys, one is smart and spends his days trying to solve complex problems, while the second one is just as smart but spends his days on Netflix. What's the difference between the two? Mostly dedication, but what provides the former with it? Yep, genetics.
If you are angry with the world there is a good chance you will work hard to change it.
For example you mentioned upbringing. So now image the two kids above are raised by the same family, with the same values; they're equally smart, maybe they're even equally dedicated but one of the two lacks ambition/passion and doesn't live up to his brother's success. Why's that? Again, maybe the brother has his brain wired to be ambitious and has a knack (read passion) for whatever he does that lets him be successful.
It is the ability to project your mind into the future and see how the picture is affected by actions you take in the present.
