Dear medical wazuans,i have been thinking and overthinking of a situation i myself is in.
I have 2 sons.Different fathers.
They are both extremely brilliant academically.
1st son never gets below number 3 in class.He is in class 7.Average score is 420 out of 500 always.
2nd son is more brilliant than the 1st.He has never been number 2 in his life.always number 1.Average score is 580 out of 600.
However this is what puzzles me.Father 1 was a below average in class and socially.The only thing that helped him in life is that his folks were loaded...otherwise.....
Father 2 was more daft academically and incoherent socially.
Mother(me) am just an average student and i hate school.Am doing my masters because i have to and i die a thousand deaths when i think of school.
So help me...where did the kids get those brains from?certainly not me nor the fathers.....My family line is not brilliant minded either

yaaani, what were you doing with an average man socially and then run into the hands of a more daft incoherent man socially???? Seriously, how did they (especially the later) even "tune" you and most importantly, convince you to have their babies or they are not incoherent in that field? (on a light note... am dead laughing)

Anyway, am happy for your kids. Just thank God for them and move on swiftly.....smile


I am ready to offer myself as daft father no. 3 to test the genes of child no. 3.

In theory of multiple intelligence, eight abilities are defined, whereas we commonly only look at language or logic:

musical - Wolfgang Mozart
spatial - Michelangelo
verbal - William Shakespeare
logical - Albert Einstein
bodily - Muhammad Ali
interpersonal - Nelson Mandela
intrapersonal - Mother Teresa
naturalist - Charles Darwin

Lastly.. "hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy", so take a day at a time for life is a long journey.

Scientists have tried to explain intelligence for a long long time.

Is intelligence determined by HEREDITY or the ENVIRONMENT?

"Children who are breastfed during the first six months of life score higher on IQ tests at age 6 than same-age children who were not breastfed." (Environment)

"Identical twins will exhibit a similar IQ" (Heredity)

I'd say it's a fine balance of both.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.
