Genius - #1

The human brain is capable of many things, much more things than what we could ever imagine. It is said that we only use a minor percentage of our brain's capability. The question is, are there people who use more? There are a unique group of individuals with special abilities that ordinary people deem unusual or extraordinary. These people are referred to as geniuses. There are many different types of geniuses, each excelling in a particular field like math, science, the art or a combination of them. An example of this type of genius is a chinese-american that starred in the video viewed in class (I cannot recall his name). He is only a you child but is able to play the piano in ways only the grand masters could achieve. He can also be able to pick up notes by just playing them and has perfect pitch. His mother claims that he was first able to play the piano at age four, and every year he learns a tremendous amount more on this instrument and music in general. He has the urge to learn and is socially alright. This kid is a genius, I wish I were able to be as gifted as he is. If playing the piano from age 4 is possible, imagine all the other skills people could acquire.
