Prodigy

Was watching sungha jung videos...really like this guy. Seriously god-like, his guitar playing skills are like on the other level from normal people sia. I was just thinking that a lot of prodigies actually very young when they were first discovered. Well, you don't see someone telling a 70 year old man that he is a genius. Maybe its the notion of them being young and that they haven't seen much of the world. yet they are able to perform extraordinary stuff that supposedly the adults should be able to do. Then I was wondering how many of these child prodigies able to continue to perform well into adult age? Well not many I think. and one of such person is Albert Einstein.

Maybe like what some books had said and that as one grows older, we tends to believe in that the world is not limitless and that there is a limit to everything we do. Soon, it became so integral in our life that we just assume it as it is. So it applies to these prodigies as well, maybe some due to the period of growing up, may lose the skills they had because they are influenced by societies in some ways.  Maybe they got conceited. Maybe they lose their true selves during the phenomenal rise to stardom.

I remember a post I posted last year, its based on the movie Nodame Cantabile. Its about something as seeing music as a limitless universe. There are a few perspectives of looking at things, and needless to say, there are quite a few to this as well. Sometimes when we feel like the world is closing on us, if we think of how small we are in the universe, well there is sometimes a calming effect on us, don't you think? I think some psychiatrist will term it as " thinking from a 3rd person view". Another way is that the universe is limitless so there are always possibilities of things that can happen even though it seems impossible.

Actually I think I could have elaborated more, but Taeyeon voice and video cause me to sidetracked le...can't concentrate...sorry sia...its the trap that all guys falls into...our common Achilles Heel=P
