“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”- Attributed to many
Last year while reading The Genius in All of Us I came across an interesting passage. In the passage, the author wondered if parents were given a choice between having a child genius or a successful adult, which one would they chose?
I believe that most parents would chose a successful adult. It is very rare that a child prodigy becomes a highly successful adult because the skill sets are very different. They tend to either burn out or are socially ill equipped.
Today’s question is:
“If you would choose the successful adult, what are you doing to transition your child(or yourself) into that person?
Hint: More academic training is not the answer”
