Great encouragement by the dad there, paraphrase...."he is not special, anyone can do this, he is a normal boy"...real gr8 way to support your kid, what does he have to do to be special at that age, create a rival to google

It keeps the kid grounded and enables him to live a more normal life. If you want to see some contrast with another Malaysian boy then read up about Adi Putra - he is gifted in math but has had a brand built up around his name including his own "brain food" product. The management team claimed he could speak tonnes of languages as well - including american english, british english and singapore english (maybe a few more english variations as well, but did include french, spanish, russian along with maybe chinese and his own language).

The guy is good in math and it is known learning a language when you are young is much easier than when you are older - but it is hard to believe all the claims made about Adi Putra as it looks too much like a marketing ploy even though he is intelligent, the claims were hard to prove in the documentary I watched about it (smartest kid in the world or something like that).

I ve just finished watching a program on BBC about intelligence and if you can grow your intelligence or if your born with a set IQ.

It was really interesting, I recommend it to you guys.

I am going to apply for Mensa

This is cool! Way cool.

Just do not let your intelligence get in the way of your life too much to where it starts driving to think mad fucking crazy.

Some Intelligent people are known to go fucking berserk and such. Think Syd Barrett. Now talk about a mad man that let everything get to him + some damn good LSD. fucking insane I must say.
