supermichael11 11/23/20 4:39:49 PM #1:	Greg Smith has been on the fast track to college from a very early age. He was just a baby in diapers when he started correcting other people's grammar. By 18 months, he could add and subtract. He knew the alphabet by the time he could walk. He graduated from high school at age 9, after completing grades 9 through 11 in just months. In 1999, Oprah sat down with the 10-year-old child prodigy, who had just started college. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reSq4mxFVdQ This video just popped up in youtube when I was scrolling down. It looks like my theory about teaching a kid as soon as possible and teaching them earlier than they should helps them a lot. Too bad that knowledge is useless to me, not like I can become young again or get reborn. --- http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/88/ dragon ball forum <cite>supermichael11 posted [p:947522657] in Meet the 1...

bknight 11/25/20 9:25:18 PM #16:	Did any of these child prodigies make it big as adults? You look at titans of the tech industry like Jobs or Gates or Lisa Su and they either dropped out of college or earned degrees as adults. Sure a kid going to college is great and all, but do any of them make world shattering splashes as adults? Bezo is the 'richest' guy in the world and he's just an engineer who came up with an idea to sell books online and made it big. Maybe their the ones who come up with ideas that make other people famous, who knows. <cite>bknight posted [p:947608420] in Meet the 1...
