Ok.  She likes it now, so she does it now.  When she doesn’t like it anymore, she can stop doing it.

I don’t understand what point you think you’re making, and I don’t think you do, either…

[b]My point is that we often change our attitudes and likes over a time span once we gain perspective.[/b] It's very common. Do you like the same things you did when you were 15? I hope not. Humans like activities that they are good at. In order to get good at something, we need to practice. When prolonged practice does not result in positive outcomes, people tend to give up, which is normal. Often when you give up after prolonged practice you wonder if you could have spent your time doing something else -- like the kid in the video. You literally cannot know if you're good at something or not until you try. The mistake video-kid parents and the kid himself made was that they didn't realize (they should have, as gifted testing usually includes all this) that with an IQ of about 105 (he said above average) no matter how much you push you're not going to crack physics at college, where most kids are with an IQ of about 140.
