No joke, my little brother is so smart, he had straight A's at a crappy school. A heavy minority school, so you can imagine, a ton of illegal Mexicans, poor South East Asian's, mobile home White's, underpaid teachers don't give a shit. When my dad passed away, my mom moved away and she couldn't afford to take care of my little brother anymore. So my sister took him in, she works for the Government and makes a shit ton of money. She sent my little brother to a prestigious private school. The school was like 95% percent White. My little brother still got all A's.
I mean... Do i count as smart. I missed like 2 weeks of school and came back you know still in the... what is everything brain fog. The helper showed me how to do a math probem that had like 4 steps. first time she showed me i went okay thanks im good now. She said something around... Uh can you show me you can do it? and i did it first try perfectly. She just walked away like wtf have i gotta myself into as a pre--teacher (Teacher aid) whatever they are.

@sherpa6071 Haha, thanks. 😅 That comment might have been better left unnoticed; I cringed a little reading it. A lot has happened in 3 years, though, so many once in a lifetime events... I even found Jesus. That includes: Weightlifting Pr's and hopefully getting a job soon. I got a drivers license, Sheesh! What a time to be alive. We even get to witness the Biblical Rapture and Hand of Jesus. Everything is not falling apart, It is infact falling together! That comment did make my day! It reminded me of how much Jesus has improved me. And how much ETERNAL greatness of JESUS lies ahead 🎺 🕊 🙏 Notice how I put no period after the last word "Ahead"? That's because eternity will NEVER END!
@sherpa6071 I did an IQ test at around 10. It was around 145 something, but that was with moderate adhd, severe ptsd, severe dissosciation disorder, and some other stuff. So, I guess I am pretty smart, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can praise Jesus, that's all that matters. 😁 I'm probably 155-165 now, but that just made it all the harder to find God with an ego. He had to destroy my ego, which was... Um, rough is one way to put it... But I made it there! ✝️ ⏰️

I worked in a kindergarten for a short period of time. I taught the kids how to build marble tracks with wooden blocks, and one of them was especially fascinated by the theory behind the building process. He kept asking me about what kind of angles work the best and how friction plays a part and so on. Luckily I've always had a fascination for physics, and I was able to teach him about momentum, inertia, acceleration and a myriad of other physical phenomena. I didn't even try to make it sound simple for a child. I used complex terms and went through formulas with him, thinking he would find it boring and unintelligible. Somehow he was just captivated by it all, and asked all the right questions and seemed to understand everything. Later on he brought a spinning top to show me, and he explained angular momentum to me. I hadn't taught him that. His explanation was very good, and I was completely and utterly shocked. I started going through some very difficult material with him, and eventually taught him about general and special relativity. He grasped all the concepts pretty much instantly and just wanted to proceed to the mathematics behind them. I actually had to spend time studying this stuff at home so I could keep up with him. Sadly it has been such a long time that I don't remember his last name, and I have no idea what he ended up doing. When I left the kindergarten I got him a small gyroscope as a gift.
Many have. I remember trying to argue with one when I was around 6th grade about a movie we had watched. She litterally told me my subjective believe of the movie (That had more than a few hints that went in my favor that she just brushed off as if I was being stupid) was wrong and that I was just being a little smartass. Still the worts fucking teacher I have ever had. She was such an incredible bitch it was unbelieveable.
No, that's how Literature and English teachers as a whole are. In my secondary school, the teacher asked for certain types of words to describe this thing we were learning about. I used the word 'phantasmagoric', and she immediately tried to correct me and say it wasn't a word and that I must have meant 'fantastic', yet I was very sure it was a real word; I found it on Dictionary.com and found various texts that used it. She wasn't quite obtuse and reluctantly took my word for it.

Just saying this now- Smart people almost always end up getting the worst grades later in life. This is because they loose modivation and become lazy Edit- Wow i wasnt expecting this to go nuts. I should clarify a lot of you are right. It is more common for a person to be considered smart as a child but then loose the willpower to do anything in highschool years. But just because this is the most common, does not mean that nothing else can happen. There are so many combinations of people that you cant lump them together. But its a very common experience that many can relate to
YES. I cared for perfect grades until I got to the high school I wanted to go to. After that only the final exams mattered, not the grades you got from basic courses. Sure I love to learn and have near perfect memory, but 1) no matter how good I'm in it, math just isn't my cup of tea, 2) instead of having perfect homework I could use that time to learn more about something else, and 3) grades don't make you happy, people do. I mean yes, I still got to the uni I applied to because I had such good grades, but you don't need A+ in advanced maths to study religion :D
I was the opposite, parents never really pushed for grades because of financial problems and just focused on keeping us fed. After we became stable around 7th grade, I was pushed for better grades and became motivated to be more successful than my parents later in life. I still procrastinate and play a lot of videogames but I know my limits and study enough to get really good grades Tip: No one is perfect, but know where you want to go and what you want to be helps you set goals and keeps you motivated for your future. Middle school doesn’t really matter, but it does set you up for high school.
I gave zero fucks in Highschool and graduated with a low GPA. I study Cyber Security and haven’t made less than a 90 in any class except one. Which was an 89.7. This includes college level math, science, history, etc. just depends on the person and what motivates them really.
No motivation you say (pushes up glasses) I am, not to be obnoxious, very gifted. Missing the mark of genius by a bit, but not much. I remember thinking everyone was stupid in my first year of preschool when no one else could read. I also have a very good memory. But ehh. What’s the point of A’s or grammar if you don’t care about like amirite

I met him in a science camp an year ago when I was 15. he is a little bit arrogant to me before I done his "triple integral" challenge, he then just don't talk to me anymore. btw, his challenge is as easy as plug in the quadratic formula, if you know them.
Fun fact: being smart doesn't translate into career success because often times, when you are smart you realize that you can put in a lot less work and still be a lot happier than most people.
That's so true... I was considered really smart when I was young (like the kids who were talking properly by 2, reading by 2 and a half, doing math at 4, etc), but with time I've gotten so lazy. If I have one month to do an essay for college worth 30% of the grade, I will probably start it 4 hours before the due date.
@@z.l.380 It's an ongoing problem of mine I wish to end this year... I have to finish my thesis in about a month and I have done almost nothing (and I should have written at least 30 pages by now). I wish I wasn't as lazy, but with the pandemic, my laziness got worse.
@@aricarly It's the same for me. Thankfully, I haven't been in college long enough to start anything that lengthy yet but my procrastination has consistently worsened over the years. I was super accomplished in school as a kid but stopped trying over time, I guess. I hope your thesis goes well. Try setting a mental due date. Force yourself to get x amount of work done by a specific day maybe by setting alarms. That's what I do when I'm at the edge. Usually I won't start when the alarm rings but it forces me to start a few days later. It doesn't work all the times but it's helped quite a bit, and I hope it works for you if you decide to give it a try. Seriously, good luck to us both. Mostly to you, considering your workload is heavier, but you can do it!
There has been research done into this. "Gifted" students run into a lot of emotional and mental problems all leading back to a lack of challenge in education and/or isolation from their peers. It's a trap that most parents and teachers have no idea exists.
Anna NA I feel like the reason for that is that their experience points were all crammed into the stats needed for making them smart so they end up lacking in other areas.

There was an autistic kid on my football team in highschool who knew every single Major League Baseball players name, number, position, what team they played for, and what year they started. It’s amazing how the brain works
Autistic people actually tend to be very smart, austism has nothing to do with intelligence, just the understanding of social norms. A lot of them fixate on something and become very passionate about it, I know one who taught himself how to sing beautifully..... in four languages.
When I was 9 I was proud of calculating how many seconds there are in a year. Wait thats not normal? Btw its 1111000011000011111100000 seconds in binary, or 31557600 in normal numbers.
When I was in kindergarten, I knew 3x3 was 9 and 10x10 was 100. I read on a second to fourth grade level and I was good at spelling and writing. My handwriting was pretty neat. I learned I was gifted in the second grade.
4:58 Basically, when he doubled it and multiplied by 10 its like he multiplied by 20. Seeing that the differnce from 1260 and 126 is 1134 he just took away the 126(63x2). So from the 20 he removed 2....18
I figured it out as well in my head. I’m a freshman. I can do a lot of mental math like that but I could never explain how I got to the answer. I kinda just did it
so 63 x 2 x 10 = 63 x 20 = 1260 1260 - 126 = 1134 20 - 2 = 18 20 is from being multiplied with 63 to get 1260 and 2 is multiplied by 63 to get 126 that’s what i got what both explanations, still kind of clueless
I was always the smartest in my class but then a attended a different class for smart students, and now I feel like I'm one of the most idiotic students here
Been there, I was bullied pretty badly . As soon as I went back to the "dumber" class , I am always one step ahead from my classmates when it comes to math. I study about an average of 2 and a half hours a day for math
It's not about being smart or stupid or an average Joe. Kids have brains that are like a sponge - they absorb information and things they're being taught or are interested in. This is why little kids usually can learn languages among other things easier than older kids, teenagers, and adults can. This is also why parents should get their kids to be interested in learning things, and not just let them watch TV all day - which is something I wish my parents did. My mom, as a stay-at-home mom, could've taught me a lot of stuff. My father could, too, on the weekends - they chose not to, out of laziness and possibly lack of care because they figured I would learn stuff later anyways...and while it isn't untrue, it would be much easier if they taught me things like math and fixing cars. My parents are immigrants too, and while we speak their native language at home, they never taught me to write or read in it. I somehow taught myself how to read. Still can't write though. If I ever have kids, I'll make sure to teach them as many things as I possibly can.
@@ihatethisusernameupdate This scene just about killed me in the movie theater. I was crying, and I couldn't stop the tears. The reason why this film was so powerful for its time is that it revealed the damage to a generation of kids who had been traumatized in their childhood, either through physical abuse, sexual abuse, and physical and/or emotional abandonment, etc. And most of all, it approached the experience of trauma from the male perspective. These things NEVER leave you. Even with therapy they never LEAVE you. You just become better at dealing with them. From a man's perspective, we have been taught from the moment we were little tots that to reveal emotional vulnerability to your own gender or to the opposite sex has terrible consequences. To be emotionally vulnerable around males is to hurt yourself in the competition game. You lose status in the ceaseless quest to acquire money, power, sex, women, and most of all, the respect and admiration of your male peers. To be vulnerable around a man is to emasculate yourself. It allows other guys to move ahead of you on the competition ladder. In fact, you may even be judged to be "gay" even though you are 100% heterosexual. You also put yourself at risk of being picked on or bullied. And to be emotionally vulnerable around women is, in the words of a former counselor, a risk that might get you "kicked out of the bedroom." No matter who much women say they want to have an emotionally vulnerable man in their life, it is so contrary to the way they have been raised in most families (and biologically programmed) that it is unrealistic to expect any woman at Will's age to be able to handle a case like him. Women can usually only attain it through a few breakups, a divorce or two and a ton of counseling. Basically, a personal transformation.. Most women in American society are raised by tough minded, stalwart fathers who are knights in shining armor. Their mothers, just by being around such a man, model behavior for them that shows: "This is what a real man is. A protector of women." A girl's brothers are raised to be like their dad. Disney....almost every film or book ends with some knight in shining armor who comes to the rescue. Romance novels, comedy skits, Hollywood movies, Sex In The City, Cosmo Magazine, etc. - all things that deride traumatized men who show real emotional vulnerability. A man who is truly emotionally vulnerable breaks down the knight in shining armor fantasy. That is why Will says in his break up speech to Skylar: "You don't want hear about it Skylar! You don't want to hear about how they put cigarettes out on me! You don't want to hear about how I was abused!" He's scared to reveal these things because he is frightened, through his own experiences, that Skylar will "kick him out of the bedroom" That she will desert him, become disgusted by him, and become unattracted to him as a man and a sexual being. That he will prove himself as being incapable of "protecting" her at all times like knight in shining armor. That she won't want to have kids with him because he isn't emotionally stalwart enough like her dad was. The irony of this movie is that Skylar is a traumatized person herself (the loss of a caretaker - her dad - at a very young age), but unlike so many girls at her age in our culture, she is emotionally healthy and mature. Unlike Will. I just will never forget her saying, "I want to help you. I didn't know that. I want to help you because I love you." If you think for one moment that the average 23 year old young woman in this society has that level of emotional maturity you're kidding yourself. I have been in two heart breaking relationships where when my vulnerabilities came out, the women couldn't see a future with me. I couldn't be a protector anymore and live up to this myth that our society has created regarding masculinity. The truth is that I have been searching my entire life for someone like Skylar, and I just have been unable to find her. I have met so many males who deep down in their heart want that same kind of woman, but they just know they risk getting burned. I won't get into all the things that girls struggle with in their childhoods and what trauma does to them and how damaging certain forms of femininity can be to forming an emotionally healthy self. For one thing, I don't want this to turn into a 247,737 word essay. But also, I don't need to because we live in a society which has a million and one books written about it. Because girls and women are allowed to share their feelings and vulnerabilities without derision. I am not saying they don't have difficulties. It's every bit as hard being female as it is being male in our culture. But what "Good Will Hunting" FINALLY brought to the forefront is just how many males have been physically and/or emotionally traumatized in our culture, and how destructive, hyper masculine role modeling and certain emotionally damaging effects of evolutionary psychology can lead both sexes into shaming such vulnerable males when they reveal emotional vulnerability, and how damaging this is to the lives of those males. Our sense of self is formed through our interactions with other human beings. At the end of the day, you can do a whole lot of counseling, but in the end, to really heal, you have to do what Will did in the end - hop in his car, and leave everything that he knew behind in search of a woman who had the emotional maturity to help him heal. Notice that I said "HELP" him heal. Skylar will never "CURE" him. He still has to keep doing his own emotional work. But Will found his woman who wouldn't "kick him out of the bedroom" for being a traumatized, emotionally vulnerable man. Unfortunately, he almost lost her because his defense mechanisms were so intense.

Lol right? "Im feeling smart today. Just solved a rubik cube and put together some IKEA furniture." *watches video* "Welp i feel just neat now...." *internally sobs heavily*
There isn't a comparison. Kids at young ages like that have different brains before they grow which makes it easier for them to learn (like how they can pick up a language and easily become bilingual/trilingual if taught, etc) so if they're taught, they can do crazy smart things like in the video, and like one of the comments said, "Early stimulation of the brain can have a kid go places later". If they choose to retain and maintain it, then, yeah, that happens.
It's quite scary when you notice that some of the weird things in this videos have always been normal to yourself, I used to do them and still do, like remembering photographically a piece of puzzle or making mental calculations. I used to get bored to tears in 1st grade and apparently I just could remember what ever the teacher said and just start playing around distracting others, sadly I suffered abuse so I couldn't take advantage of those skills properly at that age.
There's a seventh grader at my school who got a 1520 on the SAT when he took it in sixth And he's good at math competitions I've said this in so many comment sections lol
5:00 I actually understand his system, and always used one similar (Granted, I'm not as quick as he is). Find a neat, well-rounded multiplier (for the freshman in the story, 20 (x2 and then x10)) that brings the divisor close to the dividend (1260), sum up the difference between the new number and the original dividend (126 (63 x2)), divide that by the original divisor (2), and either add/subtract the quotient of that to/from the multiplier I used (20 - 2 = 18), and BAM got the answer. 63 x 2 = 126 126 x 10 = 1260 (aka 63 x 20 = 1260) 1260 - 1134 = 126 126 / 63 = 2 20 - 2 = 18
K Note Could you elaborate as to where you got the 20 from? It’s probably obvious but I’ve been sitting at my desk for an hour trying to work it out, and it would be extremely helpful if you’d explain just a bit more.
@@winifredjohnson4292 Key in on the part where he said he multiplied it times 2 and then times 10, the easier way to say that is times 20. For example, 2x3x4 has the same result as 2x12 (2x3x4=24; 2x12=24). I'm guessing he says "times 2 then times 10" to further explain the problem, but he could have just easily said times 20.
This is how i understand his reasoning. He knew the answer would be a whole number(probably because that was the theme of all the problems they were going over at the time) and just needed to find the range in which the answer was close to. He did x2 to see how close the number was to 1134 before adding a 0 on the end(x10). with 1260 its easy to see that it will probably take 2 63's(20 - 2) to bring that number down to 1134, which he didnt need to bother doing the math to see if its 1134 exactly since he knows/assumes the answer is gonna be a whole number.

OKAY so for the 63 times 2 one, lemme explain 63 x 2 = 126 126 x 10 = 1260 1260 - 126 = 1134 because 1260 = 20 x 63 and 126 = 63 x 2, you would subtract 20 by 2 because that's what's happening when you do 1260 - 126 (it's basically 20 - 2 = 18 because every number was divided by 63)
That's one way to do it.Another way is that 1134 is clearly greater than 630.but less than 1260. So the number lies between 10 and 20. Now what single digit number when multiplied by 3,gives 4 in the units place? 8!(3x8=24,4 in the units place).So its 10 + 8= 18!. You'll get better with practice.
Most of those students will get screwed over by the system that isn't able to really accommodate their higher needs. I had a really smart friend that constantly had to be handicapped by even their AP classes and they just didn't get the kind of mental stimulation they needed to keep getting better. Real sad really.

i figured out a new way to do fractions and a way to do big division your head. I forgot the fractions (i think it had something to do with cross-multiplying, worked with subtraction and addition) but here's the division - imagine a problem like 280 divided by 8. i take the eight, multiply it by 10 and get 80. i, then, find the closest number to 280 that i can get to by multiplying 80 by another number. the closest number is 240. 80 x 3 = 240, so i know i have only 40 more to go. now, take the 40, divide that by 8, (or just multiply it by five if you know your multiplication decently) and you get 5. add the 30 that you get from swapping the zeroes in 80 x 3, add the five and you get 35. i can explain this MUCH easier if i wrote it down on paper, but it's the best i can do on a youtube comment section.
my six year old asked me to teach him algebra. i was taking advanced classes, therefore they were a significant amount more difficult to even students my age.

In elementary school we had GATE, gifted and talented education. You had to take a test to get in. I was in GATE every year they offered it. Here's the kicker- I never passed the test. I got every hard question right, but the easy questions wrong. The proctor decided to let me in anyways. In math classes I always understood the harder chapters while everyone else had trouble, but the easy chapters I had trouble with while everyone else understood it (which made me feel stupid, and affected my grades too). It's like the gears in my brain only operate at a very fast rate compared to others. It wasn't until college that this became beneficial for me.
Exactly the same for me when it came to math! (The test was actually called the Naglieri Non-verbal Ability Test at my school it might be the same for yours?)

There's two types of narcissism, the healthy one, and the unhealthy one. Unhealthy narcissism means that you're so self-centered you expect others to always compliment you, pay attention to you, listen to you and do everything like you say. Narcissists will go really far just to hide things they don't like from outsiders. They want to be seen as perfect and won't hesitate to put down everyone else to make that happen, secretly, of course. Giving yourself a compliment for your accomplishments, hard work or acknowledging your good traits is not unhealthy. It's an important indicator for good self-esteem

I had a pair of autistic identical twins (3 yrs old) and have had so many instances where I began to learn how unusually intelligent they were. Best time was seeing an unsuspecting person experiencing their “powers” first hand. One had just had a tantrum and I was carrying/rocking him in my arms to get him to take a nap. A part time new teacher was telling me about herself and mentioned she was of Scottish descent. The boy lifts up his hand and put his finger on the map right behind us and said in a sleepy voice “I found it!” She freaked out because not only was he correct but Scotland wasn’t even labeled on that particular map. He just knew.
I have a great story, my friend in grade 8 was made fun of by the other smart kids for only having an 89 in grade 7 for math, he was constantly picked on for being a little weird and anti-social. One unit, I think it was the unit where we learned pi and measurements, he only showed up to 2 lessons of the 10 that we had. (we spent 2 weeks on each unit) and he never even did the homework to catch up. This is what freaked me out, the kid literally finished the entire test in 5 minutes, I thought he just didn't get the unit because of how much he was gone. Once he handed in the test, the teacher asked to talk to him in the hall. At the end of the class I found out that the teacher brought him out of class to tell him he got 100% in the test and he was going to be taken off his Individual Education Plan because of his score. (Basically a program you are put in if you have a learning disability so you get some benefits in tests and assignments). He is now in grade 12 at the same school as I am, with one of the highest math marks in the school. I think its a 98 at the moment. He also failed math in grade 10 with a 42, and over doubled it in grade 11 with a 94% this just goes to show you that everybody learns differently, and how much someone can improve in such a small amount of time.
One kid was so smart. He was SOOOOO SMART Guess what he did? He told everyone he could make a homemade bomb with household items, but that’s not the worst part... He proved it (GRADE 6 BTW)
every once in a while, they would take my dad out of class in first or second grade and watch him build adult lego sets without the instructions. they would just watch and take notes.
I spoke full sentences really early (before I was two). I freaked my babysitter out once by saying, “I can’t quite see it from this angle.” The funniest part was that I was born super early so I was really small. People would see this newborn sized one year old talking in full sentences and be so confused. This is totally unrelated but anyone reading this, you’re an awesome person. Have a good day!
This is reminding me about the time I tried to learn calculus in one night, but got sad and tried to learn trigonometry so I would understand calc better
I learned how to read around the age of 1. By the time I was 3, I had learned how to use a computer (this was in the late 90s, when computers were still kind of hard to come by) and get on the internet. When I got to preschool the teacher had no idea what to do with me because my family had basically taught me everything her job entailed long before I showed up to her class. I wanted to go to the library to read books and check some out, but only kindergarteners could go to the library. I was upset and bored during class and told my mom about it, so she went to the principal and asked her to let me check out books in the library so I would have something to do during class. The principal called bullshit and was like, "Yeah right, give Saph a book and see if they can read it," so my mom handed me the book and I sat there and read the entire thing out loud. Needless to say, I was allowed to go to the library after that. I also used to be like the kid who could point out unlabelled countries on the map but I've gotten a bit rusty since then. I also have really bad dyscalculia and can barely read phone numbers, so math was always the bane of my academic career. You win some, you lose some.
I graduated high school at 15, I've struggled with a lack of intellectually matching peers my entire life and only recently have had the luxury of regular intellectually stimulating conversations, it's tough being the smart kid in a sense of understanding everything everyone wants to understand, but nobody understanding you, which sounds edgy and dumb but it's exactly how it feels, one thing about smart kids is we either want friends or completely resent any human contact, I land right in the middle, it's given me a cynical and nihilistic view and because the school I went to was so shit I basically taught myself more than my teachers ever could, I have a complex understanding of matter and the states and ways it interacts with everything, I taught myself all the way from physics up learning the inner theoretical workings of the universe before I even graduated and I'm continuing my research now, everything is so large but so small and the theories of the universe, hopefully one day I can find someone who looks at a person and sees them the way I do or looks at the universe and sees the systems and the way the dots connect and how to connect all of them with physics and math and understanding humans as advanced chemical machines maintaining their own consciousness through the systems and advanced protein constructs we call genetics, you are the universe observing itself, the fact the universe devised a way to observe itself even if unintentionally (for me it's unintentional but people are prone to religious affiliation for comfort) is a incredibly fascinating thing and I hope to understand he universe as much as I possibly can before I die.
I don't think you will ever see this because your original comment was posted over three years ago but if you do. Hello. I know exactly what your saying. I understand everything people tell me but as soon as I start talking they get confused. I can only experience intellectually stimulating conversations with my dad who happens to be pretty smart like me. (Funny how genetics work like that.) School is not stimulating enough for me so I've relied on self study at home. I'm currently studying calculus. (At the time of posting this comment I am 12 years old.) I'm also a huge nerd when it comes to physics and specifically thermodynamics. I'm glad I could find someone to relate and agree to.
@@mikuu144 Hey, you remind me of myself at your age. Ask your dad about helping you find an university that allows you to take courses while still in school (don’t know the English term, but in Germany it’s called „Schülerstudent“ ). Depending on your laws, you might be able to take more than half of the courses for a bachelors degree while still in school. (I should have done this from the start, instead of just randomly studying stuff until I was 15…)
I remember when I joined a new school and on the first day itself, the class had a recitation where they had to learn the same poem and recite it in class. Before class began, I explained that I was new but the teacher insisted that I also recite it. My first thought was "Good job moron, your first day and you're already gonna fail." But then, the first person stood up to recite and then I realised that I had studied this poem 3 years ago at my last school. So when my turn came, I rattled it off at top speed and perfectly. (I'm from India and the poem was in a local language, which I admit I normally suck at) Teacher and students were impressed
I know a 3 year old who can speak 2 different languages in perfect tongue, speaks full sentences, knows his abc, can do math, has excellent memory, but cannot spell.
I have a 3 year old cousin that can speak German, English and Portuguese, the thing is that he almost always responds in German but if you pressure him enough he'll answer in Portuguese or English. Visited him in Berlin jaust a few weeks ago, and he helped 19 year old me learn a bit of German ;)
I was like that when I was turning 3. It didnt click for a year or so that you have to memorize the spelling of all the words in order to best write. I was reading books by that time but never really noticed how important spelling was. In preschool, (that I started at 3) I started figuring everthing out because It was around that time I began chapter books. The words I was bad at spelling I had only ever heard.

Did they already play life and are starting a new save, or they watched a guide.
I worked in a kindergarten for a short period of time. I taught the kids how to build marble tracks with wooden blocks, and one of them was especially fascinated by the theory behind the building process.
He kept asking me about what kind of angles work the best and how friction plays a part and so on. Luckily I've always had a fascination for physics, and I was able to teach him about momentum, inertia, acceleration and a myriad of other physical phenomena. I didn't even try to make it sound simple for a child. I used complex terms and went through formulas with him, thinking he would find it boring and unintelligible. Somehow he was just captivated by it all, and asked all the right questions and seemed to understand everything.
Later on he brought a spinning top to show me, and he explained angular momentum to me. I hadn't taught him that. His explanation was very good, and I was completely and utterly shocked. I started going through some very difficult material with him, and eventually taught him about general and special relativity. He grasped all the concepts pretty much instantly and just wanted to proceed to the mathematics behind them. I actually had to spend time studying this stuff at home so I could keep up with him.
Sadly it has been such a long time that I don't remember his last name, and I have no idea what he ended up doing. When I left the kindergarten I got him a small gyroscope as a gift.

nah i think she had a superiority complex and thats why she had a melt down when she saw someone was smarter than her in her own field
Many have.
I remember trying to argue with one when I was around 6th grade about a movie we had watched. She litterally told me my subjective believe of the movie (That had more than a few hints that went in my favor that she just brushed off as if I was being stupid) was wrong and that I was just being a little smartass.
Still the worts fucking teacher I have ever had.
She was such an incredible bitch it was unbelieveable.
Taylor Britt nah someone with an inferiority complex wouldn't care bc they think that everyone is smarter than them
No, that's how Literature and English teachers as a whole are. In my secondary school, the teacher asked for certain types of words to describe this thing we were learning about. I used the word 'phantasmagoric', and she immediately tried to correct me and say it wasn't a word and that I must have meant 'fantastic', yet I was very sure it was a real word; I found it on Dictionary.com and found various texts that used it. She wasn't quite obtuse and reluctantly took my word for it.
@@@alexkhoo3217 @ARXF1
inferiority complex: an unrealistic feeling of general inadequacy caused by actual or supposed inferiority in one sphere, *sometimes marked by aggressive behavior in compensation.*
superiority complex: We should not be astonished if in the cases where we see an inferiority [feeling] complex we find a superiority complex more or less hidden. On the other hand, if we inquire into a superiority complex and study its continuity, we can always find a more or less hidden inferiority [feeling] complex." -psychologist Alfred Adler

Just saying this now-
Smart people almost always end up getting the worst grades later in life. This is because they loose modivation and become lazy
Edit- Wow i wasnt expecting this to go nuts. I should clarify a lot of you are right. It is more common for a person to be considered smart as a child but then loose the willpower to do anything in highschool years. But just because this is the most common, does not mean that nothing else can happen. There are so many combinations of people that you cant lump them together. But its a very common experience that many can relate to
YES. I cared for perfect grades until I got to the high school I wanted to go to. After that only the final exams mattered, not the grades you got from basic courses. Sure I love to learn and have near perfect memory, but 1) no matter how good I'm in it, math just isn't my cup of tea, 2) instead of having perfect homework I could use that time to learn more about something else, and 3) grades don't make you happy, people do. I mean yes, I still got to the uni I applied to because I had such good grades, but you don't need A+ in advanced maths to study religion :D
I was the opposite, parents never really pushed for grades because of financial problems and just focused on keeping us fed. After we became stable around 7th grade, I was pushed for better grades and became motivated to be more successful than my parents later in life.
I still procrastinate and play a lot of videogames but I know my limits and study enough to get really good grades
Tip: No one is perfect, but know where you want to go and what you want to be helps you set goals and keeps you motivated for your future. Middle school doesn’t really matter, but it does set you up for high school.
I gave zero fucks in Highschool and graduated with a low GPA. I study Cyber Security and haven’t made less than a 90 in any class except one. Which was an 89.7. This includes college level math, science, history, etc. just depends on the person and what motivates them really.
Modivation 😂😂😂
No motivation you say (pushes up glasses) I am, not to be obnoxious, very gifted. Missing the mark of genius by a bit, but not much.

Fun fact: being smart doesn't translate into career success because often times, when you are smart you realize that you can put in a lot less work and still be a lot happier than most people.

@@aricarly It's the same for me. Thankfully, I haven't been in college long enough to start anything that lengthy yet but my procrastination has consistently worsened over the years. I was super accomplished in school as a kid but stopped trying over time, I guess. I hope your thesis goes well. Try setting a mental due date. Force yourself to get x amount of work done by a specific day maybe by setting alarms. That's what I do when I'm at the edge. Usually I won't start when the alarm rings but it forces me to start a few days later. It doesn't work all the times but it's helped quite a bit, and I hope it works for you if you decide to give it a try.

Basically, when he doubled it and multiplied by 10 its like he multiplied by 20. Seeing that the differnce from 1260 and 126 is 1134 he just took away the 126(63x2). So from the 20 he removed 2....18
I figured it out as well in my head. I’m a freshman. I can do a lot of mental math like that but I could never explain how I got to the answer. I kinda just did it
1000 subs with no Vids yeah it was easy but took around 5 seconds
so 63 x 2 x 10 = 63 x 20 = 1260
1260 - 126 = 1134
20 - 2 = 18
20 is from being multiplied with 63 to get 1260 and 2 is multiplied by 63 to get 126

It's not about being smart or stupid or an average Joe.
Kids have brains that are like a sponge - they absorb information and things they're being taught or are interested in.
This is why little kids usually can learn languages among other things easier than older kids, teenagers, and adults can.
This is also why parents should get their kids to be interested in learning things, and not just let them watch TV all day - which is something I wish my parents did. My mom, as a stay-at-home mom, could've taught me a lot of stuff. My father could, too, on the weekends - they chose not to, out of laziness and possibly lack of care because they figured I would learn stuff later anyways...and while it isn't untrue, it would be much easier if they taught me things like math and fixing cars.
My parents are immigrants too, and while we speak their native language at home, they never taught me to write or read in it. I somehow taught myself how to read. Still can't write though.
If I ever have kids, I'll make sure to teach them as many things as I possibly can.
@@ihatethisusernameupdate This scene just about killed me in the movie theater. I was crying, and I couldn't stop the tears. The reason why this film was so powerful for its time is that it revealed the damage to a generation of kids who had been traumatized in their childhood, either through physical abuse, sexual abuse, and physical and/or emotional abandonment, etc. And most of all, it approached the experience of trauma from the male perspective. These things NEVER leave you. Even with therapy they never LEAVE you. You just become better at dealing with them. From a man's perspective, we have been taught from the moment we were little tots that to reveal emotional vulnerability to your own gender or to the opposite sex has terrible consequences. To be emotionally vulnerable around males is to hurt yourself in the competition game. You lose status in the ceaseless quest to acquire money, power, sex, women, and most of all, the respect and admiration of your male peers. To be vulnerable around a man is to emasculate yourself. It allows other guys to move ahead of you on the competition ladder. In fact, you may even be judged to be "gay" even though you are 100% heterosexual. You also put yourself at risk of being picked on or bullied. And to be emotionally vulnerable around women is, in the words of a former counselor, a risk that might get you "kicked out of the bedroom." No matter who much women say they want to have an emotionally vulnerable man in their life, it is so contrary to the way they have been raised in most families (and biologically programmed) that it is unrealistic to expect any woman at Will's age to be able to handle a case like him. Women can usually only attain it through a few breakups, a divorce or two and a ton of counseling. Basically, a personal transformation.. Most women in American society are raised by tough minded, stalwart fathers who are knights in shining armor. Their mothers, just by being around such a man, model behavior for them that shows: "This is what a real man is. A protector of women." A girl's brothers are raised to be like their dad. Disney....almost every film or book ends with some knight in shining armor who comes to the rescue. Romance novels, comedy skits, Hollywood movies, Sex In The City, Cosmo Magazine, etc. - all things that deride traumatized men who show real emotional vulnerability. A man who is truly emotionally vulnerable breaks down the knight in shining armor fantasy. That is why Will says in his break up speech to Skylar: "You don't want hear about it Skylar! You don't want to hear about how they put cigarettes out on me! You don't want to hear about how I was abused!" He's scared to reveal these things because he is frightened, through his own experiences, that Skylar will "kick him out of the bedroom" That she will desert him, become disgusted by him, and become unattracted to him as a man and a sexual being. That he will prove himself as being incapable of "protecting" her at all times like knight in shining armor. That she won't want to have kids with him because he isn't emotionally stalwart enough like her dad was. The irony of this movie is that Skylar is a traumatized person herself (the loss of a caretaker - her dad - at a very young age), but unlike so many girls at her age in our culture, she is emotionally healthy and mature. Unlike Will. I just will never forget her saying, "I want to help you. I didn't know that. I want to help you because I love you." If you think for one moment that the average 23 year old young woman in this society has that level of emotional maturity you're kidding yourself. I have been in two heart breaking relationships where when my vulnerabilities came out, the women couldn't see a future with me. I couldn't be a protector anymore and live up to this myth that our society has created regarding masculinity. The truth is that I have been searching my entire life for someone like Skylar, and I just have been unable to find her. I have met so many males who deep down in their heart want that same kind of woman, but they just know they risk getting burned. I won't get into all the things that girls struggle with in their childhoods and what trauma does to them and how damaging certain forms of femininity can be to forming an emotionally healthy self. For one thing, I don't want this to turn into a 247,737 word essay. But also, I don't need to because we live in a society which has a million and one books written about it. Because girls and women are allowed to share their feelings and vulnerabilities without derision. I am not saying they don't have difficulties. It's every bit as hard being female as it is being male in our culture. But what "Good Will Hunting" FINALLY brought to the forefront is just how many males have been physically and/or emotionally traumatized in our culture, and how destructive, hyper masculine role modeling and certain emotionally damaging effects of evolutionary psychology can lead both sexes into shaming such vulnerable males when they reveal emotional vulnerability, and how damaging this is to the lives of those males. Our sense of self is formed through our interactions with other human beings. At the end of the day, you can do a whole lot of counseling, but in the end, to really heal, you have to do what Will did in the end - hop in his car, and leave everything that he knew behind in search of a woman who had the emotional maturity to help him heal. Notice that I said "HELP" him heal. Skylar will never "CURE" him. He still has to keep doing his own emotional work. But Will found his woman who wouldn't "kick him out of the bedroom" for being a traumatized, emotionally vulnerable man. Unfortunately, he almost lost her because his defense mechanisms were so intense.

There isn't a comparison.

5:00 I actually understand his system, and always used one similar (Granted, I'm not as quick as he is). Find a neat, well-rounded multiplier (for the freshman in the story, 20 (x2 and then x10)) that brings the divisor close to the dividend (1260), sum up the difference between the new number and the original dividend (126 (63 x2)), divide that by the original divisor (2), and either add/subtract the quotient of that to/from the multiplier I used (20 - 2 = 18), and BAM got the answer.
63 x 2 = 126
126 x 10 = 1260 (aka 63 x 20 = 1260)
1260 - 1134 = 126
126 / 63 = 2
20 - 2 = 18
K Note Could you elaborate as to where you got the 20 from? It’s probably obvious but I’ve been sitting at my desk for an hour trying to work it out, and it would be extremely helpful if you’d explain just a bit more.
@@winifredjohnson4292 Key in on the part where he said he multiplied it times 2 and then times 10, the easier way to say that is times 20. For example, 2x3x4 has the same result as 2x12 (2x3x4=24; 2x12=24). I'm guessing he says "times 2 then times 10" to further explain the problem, but he could have just easily said times 20.
K Note Oh alright! I think I understand a bit better now, thank you!
This is how i understand his reasoning. He knew the answer would be a whole number(probably because that was the theme of all the problems they were going over at the time) and just needed to find the range in which the answer was close to. He did x2 to see how close the number was to 1134 before adding a 0 on the end(x10). with 1260 its easy to see that it will probably take 2 63's(20 - 2) to bring that number down to 1134, which he didnt need to bother doing the math to see if its 1134 exactly since he knows/assumes the answer is gonna be a whole number.

OKAY so for the 63 times 2 one, lemme explain
63 x 2 = 126
126 x 10 = 1260
1260 - 126 = 1134
because 1260 = 20 x 63 and 126 = 63 x 2, you would subtract 20 by 2 because that's what's happening when you do 1260 - 126
(it's basically 20 - 2 = 18 because every number was divided by 63)
replying so I can look at this comment later.
Black Joker same thing for me.
When you still don't get it. But thanks for getting me a step closer. lol
That's one way to do it.Another way is that 1134 is clearly greater than 630.but less than 1260. So the number lies between 10 and 20. Now what single digit number when multiplied by 3,gives 4 in the units place? 8!(3x8=24,4 in the units place).So its 10 + 8= 18!. You'll get better with practice.

i figured out a new way to do fractions and a way to do big division your head. I forgot the fractions (i think it had something to do with cross-multiplying, worked with subtraction and addition) but here's the division -
imagine a problem like 280 divided by 8. i take the eight, multiply it by 10 and get 80. i, then, find the closest number to 280 that i can get to by multiplying 80 by another number. the closest number is 240. 80 x 3 = 240, so i know i have only 40 more to go. now, take the 40, divide that by 8, (or just multiply it by five if you know your multiplication decently) and you get 5. add the 30 that you get from swapping the zeroes in 80 x 3, add the five and you get 35. i can explain this MUCH easier if i wrote it down on paper, but it's the best i can do on a youtube comment section.

In elementary school we had GATE, gifted and talented education. You had to take a test to get in. I was in GATE every year they offered it. Here's the kicker- I never passed the test. I got every hard question right, but the easy questions wrong. The proctor decided to let me in anyways. In math classes I always understood the harder chapters while everyone else had trouble, but the easy chapters I had trouble with while everyone else understood it (which made me feel stupid, and affected my grades too). It's like the gears in my brain only operate at a very fast rate compared to others. It wasn't until college that this became beneficial for me.

Narcissists will go really far just to hide things they don't like from outsiders. They want to be seen as perfect and won't hesitate to put down everyone else to make that happen, secretly, of course.

I had a pair of autistic identical twins (3 yrs old) and have had so many instances where I began to learn how unusually intelligent they were. Best time was seeing an unsuspecting person experiencing their “powers” first hand. One had just had a tantrum and I was carrying/rocking him in my arms to get him to take a nap. A part time new teacher was telling me about herself and mentioned she was of Scottish descent. The boy lifts up his hand and put his finger on the map right behind us and said in a sleepy voice “I found it!” She freaked out because not only was he correct but Scotland wasn’t even labeled on that particular map. He just knew.
I have a great story, my friend in grade 8 was made fun of by the other smart kids for only having an 89 in grade 7 for math, he was constantly picked on for being a little weird and anti-social. One unit, I think it was the unit where we learned pi and measurements, he only showed up to 2 lessons of the 10 that we had. (we spent 2 weeks on each unit) and he never even did the homework to catch up. This is what freaked me out, the kid literally finished the entire test in 5 minutes, I thought he just didn't get the unit because of how much he was gone. Once he handed in the test, the teacher asked to talk to him in the hall.
At the end of the class I found out that the teacher brought him out of class to tell him he got 100% in the test and he was going to be taken off his Individual Education Plan because of his score. (Basically a program you are put in if you have a learning disability so you get some benefits in tests and assignments). He is now in grade 12 at the same school as I am, with one of the highest math marks in the school. I think its a 98 at the moment. He also failed math in grade 10 with a 42, and over doubled it in grade 11 with a 94% this just goes to show you that everybody learns differently, and how much someone can improve in such a small amount of time.

I learned how to read around the age of 1. By the time I was 3, I had learned how to use a computer (this was in the late 90s, when computers were still kind of hard to come by) and get on the internet. When I got to preschool the teacher had no idea what to do with me because my family had basically taught me everything her job entailed long before I showed up to her class.
I wanted to go to the library to read books and check some out, but only kindergarteners could go to the library. I was upset and bored during class and told my mom about it, so she went to the principal and asked her to let me check out books in the library so I would have something to do during class. The principal called bullshit and was like, "Yeah right, give Saph a book and see if they can read it," so my mom handed me the book and I sat there and read the entire thing out loud.
Needless to say, I was allowed to go to the library after that.
I also used to be like the kid who could point out unlabelled countries on the map but I've gotten a bit rusty since then. I also have really bad dyscalculia and can barely read phone numbers, so math was always the bane of my academic career. You win some, you lose some.

I graduated high school at 15, I've struggled with a lack of intellectually matching peers my entire life and only recently have had the luxury of regular intellectually stimulating conversations, it's tough being the smart kid in a sense of understanding everything everyone wants to understand, but nobody understanding you, which sounds edgy and dumb but it's exactly how it feels, one thing about smart kids is we either want friends or completely resent any human contact, I land right in the middle, it's given me a cynical and nihilistic view and because the school I went to was so shit I basically taught myself more than my teachers ever could, I have a complex understanding of matter and the states and ways it interacts with everything, I taught myself all the way from physics up learning the inner theoretical workings of the universe before I even graduated and I'm continuing my research now, everything is so large but so small and the theories of the universe, hopefully one day I can find someone who looks at a person and sees them the way I do or looks at the universe and sees the systems and the way the dots connect and how to connect all of them with physics and math and understanding humans as advanced chemical machines maintaining their own consciousness through the systems and advanced protein constructs we call genetics, you are the universe observing itself, the fact the universe devised a way to observe itself even if unintentionally (for me it's unintentional but people are prone to religious affiliation for comfort) is a incredibly fascinating thing and I hope to understand he universe as much as I possibly can before I die.

I remember when I joined a new school and on the first day itself, the class had a recitation where they had to learn the same poem and recite it in class. Before class began, I explained that I was new but the teacher insisted that I also recite it.
My first thought was "Good job moron, your first day and you're already gonna fail."
But then, the first person stood up to recite and then I realised that I had studied this poem 3 years ago at my last school. So when my turn came, I rattled it off at top speed and perfectly. (I'm from India and the poem was in a local language, which I admit I normally suck at)
