Story about 9-year-old MCSE

Hey people, I recently saw a story on CNN (including an interview), about this 9-year-old MCSE: <http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10435937-56.html>. The kid talks like an adult! Also check out the pics, including this one of him giving a presentation: <http://news.cnet.com/2300-13860_3-10002230-5.html>. Joseph.

Totally inspirational! On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 11:51, Joseph Wayodi <jwayodi@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah,, terrible and also good... If he is a genius - I fear for his life after 30...

Which reminds me , are there no Geniuses in Kenya? Last one I remember is the guy who used to play chess and a follow up story didnt show him amount to too much..... Ama we are all "average" On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 2:38 PM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:

-- Sent from my Voice Recognition Watch© -------------------------------------------------------------------- God is not an excuse for lack of discipline -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.

They are there - the problem is, they dont know they are... I understand Bethel Mbugua <was that his name?> went to the US to be granted further studies -- but came back with nothing much... Why we dont have geniuses or very bright pple in Kenya ? Its the law of numbers and errors... If a population produces 1% very bright people,,, and the probability of a genius birth is 10,000,000:1 after 1 decade for example... A subset population X = 1 billion, will have 10,000,000 very bright people, and will produce 1 or 2 geniuses in that decade Compare this with Kenyan population, and see how the math does *not* favor us greatly... [?] <just a theory>
