Are You Raising A GENIUS unknowingly?

Let's discuss this...

Firstly, Africa biggest problem today is our inability to discover and isolate Gifted Children...  We also seem to mock our geniuses when they show uncommon intelligence in understanding literally every aspect of life. Elsewhere, organizations abound whose only focus is to discover and isolate GENIUSES.

So who is a genius? Anyone with exceptional intellectual and creative power who possesses the natural ability to understand and create what is usually difficult for others is considered a genius.

The genius is usually born with this natural abilities and if you are an INTENTIONAL parent, you will be able to discover this natural gift.

In multiple interviews, Elon Musk credited his success in Technology to the early discovery of the genius in him by his South African parents. When I heard him credit his success to his early discovery, I asked myself "how many African kids are blessed with INTENTIONAL parents like Elon?" The truth is the driving force for this series.
