I am happy for your success.  Yes, there are [i]rare [/i]cases like yours.  That does not change the fact that early success and opportunity builds future success and continued opportunity.  I am sure there are many who blew off their lives before 18 like you, who would have much better lives and success now had they not.  In fact, I bet there are more in that category than in yours.  Siting an "outlier" is only confusing the the real facts that govern the expected majority of outcomes.[/quote]

In the US is is completely BS.  If you go to scientific conference, you will discover a significant portion of the leading scientists (~40%) had some issues early in life, and blossomed late.

The human brain develops at a certain rate.  I am confident that my early years of exploration rather than study have allowed for my excellence today.  Had I been forced to study and prep, I would not have had the time to explore, and expand my curiosity.  [/quote]

I will be sure to instill in my child that study, work, and achievement before the age of 18 is a waste of time.  I will encourage him to dream and explore (whatever the hell that means).  Thanks for the solid advice.  He will appreciate the upcoming decade of vacation time.[/quote]
