Greatest dragon mom EVER. Drilled the crap out of those kids. MAD Respect. Nurture, not nature, makes genius. Obviously the kids have some excellent natural cognitive abilities, but damn the MOM....wow. To have a Phd before the kid finishes puberty....Practise kids practise!
They're actually the people who become experts in their fields -- primary investigators when publishing papers, members of boards and committees, presidents, deans and business owners. As for being grunts, all of us are in some way. Wealth is concentrated at the top. You just shifted the focus to such broad a topic that it could encompass anybody -- not just so-called genius asian overachievers. Probably moreso your average joe. Just watch, this young MD/PhD will be big stuff.
I think it's the other way around. They have a reputation of gravitating towards these quantitative fields because those are the only fields objectively measurable, where they can be recognized for what they are, so those are the only fields WE can all agree they excel in. Art instead is subjective, and we will never agree on who's better on this. Which singer is better: Frank Sinatra or Kumar Gandharva? Which "guitarist": Ravi Shankar (sitar) or Segovia (classical guitar)?
Not really I know many over achiever who are smart and have loads of friends. It's the one who believe to get highest grade is by excluding friends , family and what ever distraction that could reduce there chance of being number one.
they have also guitarists, drummers, etcetera. they're just not famous in the west, because our culture is too overwhelming and we probabily couldn't care less to see another drummer unless he has soemthing truly genius-like. Those are rare in the west as well.
@LovelyYTRocks I was just thinking that.. Maybe they'll decide to change directions lol they have lots of time in the next decade to do excel in another field.. XD
These people arn't always perfect, there is bound to be some defect with them such as inferority complex or stress from peer pressure that can easily make them both crazy
More like anecdotal, biased, and ignorant. 'Probably' and 'think' don't constitute a factual statement. The majority of these whiz kids go on to be completely normal members of society with close friends, significant others and families. The "mad scientist," "socially awkward," and "overachiever" stereotypes of the past are perpetuated by people who feel threatened in some way. Haters gonna hate, I guess.
I've always liked his attitude since they first showed him on 60 minutes.

If he ever becomes famous, Asian parents around the world will be scolding their children, "Why can't you study harder like Sho Yano?"
He's a Doctor now at 21!
Wow make me look bad for an Asian, but I am still proud of these nerdy Asians.

>implying an IQ test can be an accurate prediction of intelligence
they have also guitarists, drummers, etcetera. they're just not famous in the west, because our culture is too overwhelming and we probabily couldn't care less to see another drummer unless he has soemthing truly genius-like. Those are rare in the west as well.
I'm glad he doesn't use his intelligence for financial gain, he clearly wishes to contribute more to society than a news clip.
that's why my IQ is low very very low they balance it out Yin & Yang! sweet
... so nice :)
Sho looks Japanese and sayuri (사유리) looks more korean! Even their names
Sucks that they didn't major in theoretical physics or anything of that sort.
and this is where the stereotype about All Asians are smart came from.
Nope. You definitley missed it with that comment.
Oh, and it's "than," not "then."
@LovelyYTRocks I was just thinking that.. Maybe they'll decide to change directions lol they have lots of time in the next decade to do excel in another field.. XD
that is just not true. flat out.
this is below average for an asian, they should have got their degrees years ago.
Nope it's not lol not many Asians get their degree before 20. It's a frickin' degree!
Your words are those of a jealous individual.
