It means that we are not talking about heredity, the parents are ordinary, and the child is unusually talented. The mystery of the century ... However, not even centuries, extraordinarily gifted, talented children were born at all times. Sometimes these children are called Indigo children.

What are they, the most talented children?

Now we will get to know them a little better.

Mahmoud Vail Mahmoud

In the Guinness Book of Records, this young Egyptian is recognized as the smartest child on Earth. We can say that Mahmoud is a mathematical genius. He performs in his mind complex mathematical and algebraic operations with multi-digit numbers, in the speed and originality of solving any mathematical problems, he left far behind the most famous Egyptian scientists. Now he is 17 years old, in an ordinary school he received only primary education, now he is studying according to special programs. And the young genius dreams of becoming, oddly enough, not a mathematician, but a doctor.


Aelita Andre

This young Australian artist painted her first canvas when she was 9 months old, before she even knew how to walk. Of course, it happened unconsciously, the baby just played, crawled to the canvas with paints and created her first masterpiece. Now Aelita is 9 years old, and she is already a very famous artist. She paints in the style of modern abstract art, creating pictures in which the most unexpected colors and shapes, as it were, convey the inner world of this talented child. Exhibitions of her works are held all over the world, her paintings are selling well, more than 30 canvases created by Aelita have been sold. At the age of 9, she earned almost a million dollars from the sale of her works.

Otom de Forest

Another representative of the most talented children, and also an artist. At the age of seven, she created art canvases that resembled the work of world famous artists. And her passion for painting began at the age of five, her first exhibition was held when the girl was 14 years old, this was in 2001. After the tremendous success of the exhibition, the Discovery TV channel called her a brilliant artist. Now the canvases of this talented girl are exhibited in various international galleries, along with the paintings of such famous artists as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol.


Cleopatra Stratan

In this case, the father's genes played some role in the talent of the Moldovan singer-baby, her father, the Moldovan singer Pavel Stratan. When the girl was three years old, her first album was released, it was called "At the age of 3". Surprisingly, the little singer did not learn to sing anywhere, and she did not have any teachers and mentors, she just sang as a baby. Now Cleopatra is 14 years old, and she has already received three MTV awards as the youngest performer in the history of music. Her songs have been translated into several languages, and in Japan she is the most popular singer.


Malakai Samdi

The kid did not know how to walk yet, but was already playing musical instruments. When Malakai was two years old, his parents bought him the first drum kit, probably just tired of listening to the kid drumming on everything that comes to his hand. At the age of four he was admitted to a music school, and at the age of five he gave his first concert in front of a large audience. In 2015, the US Senate and UN General Assembly recognized this talented young American.

Danat Plushinuethanvi

The versatile talents of this boy from Thailand amaze not only family and friends. As a child, he began to draw, and even so that his drawings amazed those around him. The first exhibition of his drawings took place in the capital of Thailand, when the boy was only 3 years old. And when he was 4 years old, he began to play the violin. Now he is only 14 years old, and on his account there are more than 2,000 paintings made in an abstract manner of writing, moreover, his paintings are bought for quite serious money. In addition, Danat Wii (by this name he is known all over the world) gives recitals in many countries. He is also a talented speaker, no matter what topic he speaks, it is interesting to listen to him. And his academic success is much higher than his peers.

Alice Tan-Roberts

If we talk about the most talented children, then this baby cannot be ignored. She has no creativity, although perhaps she has not yet manifested, because Alice is only 10 years old. But here is a list of her amazing abilities:

  • at 5 months she began to speak,
  • at 7 - walk,
  • at the age of one and a half, she already called the capitals of all countries from memory, knew the numbers and wrote her first words,
  • at two years old, her IQ (intelligence quotient) was higher than that of an adult Einstein,
  • at the age of two, Alice became the youngest member of the international organization Mensa, which unites highly intelligent people.


Tanish Matthew Abraham

The most talented children show their incredible abilities usually in early childhood. Young American Tanish was no exception among the galaxy of talented children. At the age of 5, he successfully passed the complex mathematics program at Stanford University, at the age of 7 he entered college, where he studied geology and astronomy, at the age of 10 he graduated from this educational institution. While still a college student, Tanish simultaneously studied chemistry at the university, became a good pianist and chess player, participated in meetings of NASA conferences, and took part in the discovery of two supernovae. In one of his speeches, this young genius said that one should start studying at a college or university when a person is ready to study, and not when he is old enough.

This, of course, is not a complete list of the most talented children on the planet, there are many more. Their talents and abilities are manifested in a wide variety of areas of knowledge and creativity, moreover, at a very young age. And this is wonderful, because children are the future of our world.

What is the project about

"Lessons from genius or how to raise a genius child, learn to make brilliant decisions yourself and compete in business and life"(video course 1).

The project addresses the question of why some are successful and others are not, what is lacking to achieve the goal. Specific practical steps are given that will contribute to the solution of this task.

The course is distinguished by its practical orientation, where the theoretical part is explained and tied to specific real actions.Having understood the principle of this technique, you you will be able to independently build an individual development path based on the current life situation.

The course is unique because it is based on the personal experience of the author of the editor-in-chief of the publishing house "Let me introduce!" Kurzenyova A.N., who, to the extent of his professional activity, often met and communicated with popular, talented people - these are actors, artists, musicians, businessmen, government officials, whom he interviewed.

All this time he was trying to find the answer to his question and unravel the secret of success, both for himself and for the readers of the magazine. This course was the result of this activity.

It turns out that business is also a science and the one who is more talented, who can make non-standard ingenious decisions and beat competitors wins.

Moreover, the market is changing rapidly and it must be adapted to the changing situation.

Who will be interested in the course

For parents who want to develop the child's creative potential, and then realize it in life and have financial opportunities for this. For business, creative and scientific people who strive to achieve brilliant results.

In life, there is always a little missing.

A little bit was not enough to go to college, a little bit to defend a thesis, a little bit to become an academician or people's artist.

June 1 is the International Children's Day. Over the past hundred years, all states have made significant progress in this area. Child labor was banned, compulsory school education was introduced, and special programs for gifted children were created. In earlier eras, even the leading countries could not boast of such attention to children, and many of them were unable to realize their talents. But even then, geeks were born, whose abilities amazed their contemporaries and still look incredible.

Christian Heineken - baby from Lubeck

The most brilliant child of the Enlightenment. He lived only four years, but during his lifetime managed to become a celebrity and win a personal audience with the king. Heineken was born in 1721 into a fairly educated family. His father was a famous architect in Lubeck, his mother was an artist.

By the age of one, the baby was already fluent in German and began to read. Christian studied much faster than any other child, absorbed incredible amounts of information. By the age of two, Heineken had already read the Bible in Latin, remembered by heart huge passages from the book and could quote them. It is worth noting that Christian had an older brother, who, however, did not show any miraculous abilities.

The rumor of the miracle child soon spread beyond Lubeck. Parents were only glad of this and began to arrange a tour of the country. Christian performed before the public in the squares and also received visitors. At the age of three, he was invited to the Lübeck gymnasium to give a lecture on world history, with which he did an excellent job.

Heineken became a national celebrity. King Frederick IV invited him to the palace and granted an audience, after which he named the child Miraculum (translated from Latin as a miracle).

By the age of four, Heineken spoke several European languages, possessed brilliant knowledge of history, mathematics and geography, and surpassed most of his adult contemporaries in intellectual level. Unfortunately, a considerable price was paid for this. The young body could not cope with heavy loads, the child prodigy increasingly complained of poor health. Despite this, his parents still admitted visitors to him, who asked him various questions for hours.

Heineken died at the age of 4 years and 4 months. It is now believed that the cause of death was celiac disease, while unknown to European medicine. Heineken went down in history as one of the first genius children whose abilities were well documented.

William Sideis is a genius polyglot

The most famous child prodigy of the twentieth century and the clearest example of the fact that outstanding intellectual giftedness in childhood is not always the key to successful realization in adulthood. He was predicted the glory of Leonardo da Vinci of the twentieth century, but as an adult he preferred the life of a hermit collecting train tickets.

Saidis was born in 1898 into the family of a native of the Russian Empire, who emigrated to the United States and became a well-known psychiatrist. The father had his own theory of parenting, which he applied to his son. The results were not long in coming, already at the age of one and a half, William Sideis read newspapers. At four I wrote my first book. By the age of eight, he knew eight languages ​​perfectly and created his own.

Parents tried to determine the nine-year-old Saidis at Harvard University, but they were refused there due to his too young age. Only a year later, Saidis was admitted to Harvard, and he became the youngest student in the history of this prestigious educational institution.

At the age of 10, Saidis lectured on higher mathematics for visitors to the math club. After graduation, the teachers predicted for him not just a brilliant career, they believed that he would become a new genius who would move humanity far ahead.

However, everything turned out differently. Saidis taught geometry for some time, but the students did not perceive the underage teacher well, besides, Saidis felt that he was not very good at teaching.

Then the child prodigy became interested in politics and took part in several socialist rallies against conscription (then the First World War was going on), for which he was arrested. After his release, Saidis gave several scandalous interviews, in which he declared himself a pacifist, socialist and "atheist from the age of six" (which especially angered the readers). For incitement to disobedience, Saidis was sentenced to one and a half years in prison, but did not serve the term. His parents took him to another state.

The difficult transition to adulthood may have broken Saidis. At the age of 23, he went into his own world, ceased to be a public figure and moved away from his family. The potential genius practically did not make any attempts to realize himself in society, worked as an ordinary accountant and, under pseudonyms, wrote treatises on the railroad transportation system and alternative American history, which were circulated in a narrow circle. Saidis has never been married or even had a fleeting relationship with anyone.

Journalists periodically recalled the miracle child from Harvard and tried to find out what he was doing as an adult. Sideis invariably sued the newspapers after every article about him, demanding compensation for moral damage and invasion of privacy.

William Sideis died at the age of 46 from a cerebral hemorrhage. By the end of his life, he had learned 40 languages ​​and amassed a huge collection of train tickets, which became his main hobby.

Wolfgang Mozart is a great musician

It is a rare case when a miracle child realized himself in adulthood and became a genius on a global scale. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 into the family of a violinist in the court chapel. Mozart had an older sister who also had a musical talent, and at first they performed together.

The father, who was studying music with his daughter, noticed that the three-year-old Wolfgang listened attentively to their exercises, and then almost flawlessly repeats on the harpsichord. At the age of five, Mozart wrote his first play. At six he went on his first tour and performed in front of the Bavarian Elector.

All concerts of the young Mozart were a success, also due to the fact that, at the insistence of his father, he added elements of the show to his performances. For example, he could play with his eyes blindfolded and the keys covered with cloth and at the same time not make a single mistake.

By the age of eight, Mozart was already a European celebrity and gave concerts in the houses of the European aristocracy and even kings and emperors. At the age of 9, the young genius wrote his first symphony.

Until adolescence, brother and sister performed together. If at first they were considered equal in talent, then by the age of eight Wolfgang began to outshine his older sister. She could no longer get out of his shadow and after marriage, she completed her musical career. But Mozart was fully realized. During his lifetime he was popular, and after his death he was widely recognized as one of the greatest composers in the history of mankind.

Mozart died at the age of 35. Until now, it has not been possible to accurately establish the disease from which the brilliant composer died. An unexpected death in the prime of life gave rise to the legend of his poisoning. The main culprit of Mozart's death was rumored to be the composer Salieri, who supposedly envied his talent. Currently, Mozart's biographers consider this version to be untenable.

Ivan Petrov - mathematician in a family of serfs

The miracle child was born into a family of serfs from the Kostroma province in 1823. Ivan was a real phenomenon. He never went to school, could not read and write, parents and mentors did not study with him. Nevertheless, by the age of ten he was showing outstanding mathematical abilities.

Soon the rumor about the brilliant child reached the Kostroma governor, and he invited the gymnasium teachers to test Petrov's abilities. The test results amazed everyone. Petrov, who had never studied mathematics, successfully solved a dozen fairly complex mathematical problems, and spent a little over an hour on it.

The famous mathematician Perevoshchikov heard about the extraordinary abilities of a child from the provinces and personally came to Kostroma to meet the boy. The mathematician was also delighted with the abilities of the young peasant son.

Finally, in 1834, Emperor Nicholas I arrived in Kostroma. During a visit to the gymnasium, the teachers introduced him to an eleven-year-old child prodigy. The emperor, having met him, noticed that such a talent should not be lost, and instructed the director of the gymnasium to take the boy into the care of studying at the gymnasium course.

In addition, a thousand rubles allocated for his arrangement after reaching the age of majority were supposed to be credited to Petrov's account. Unfortunately, in the second half of the 30s, Petrov's traces are lost. Any data on the further fate of the prodigy has not yet been found.

Samuel Reshevsky is a talented chess player

A young chess genius who easily outplayed adult masters. Born in 1911 in the Russian Empire. At the age of four, he learned to play chess and soon demonstrated results that an adult master could be proud of. At the age of eight, he gave several sessions of simultaneous games with adults in France and defeated all rivals.

In 1920, his parents moved to the United States and decided to earn money from their son's talent. Reshevsky toured America, gave simultaneous sessions and invariably defeated adult opponents. In 1922, eleven-year-old Reshevsky took part in the New York chess tournament for adult masters, where he took second place out of six.

However, at the age of thirteen, the chess prodigy was forced to interrupt his promising career. Due to the constant touring, he did not go to school, and because of this, his parents had problems with the law. Over the next seven years, the young man practically did not perform at tournaments, he was engaged in education.

Immediately after his return, Reshevsky won the US Open Chess Championship. However, he never became a professional. All the rest of his life he worked as an ordinary accountant, and took part in tournaments from time to time.

Nevertheless, his amateur status did not prevent him from remaining one of the strongest chess players in the world in the middle of the twentieth century. Although Reshevsky was not a world champion, his assets include victories over such recognized masters as Lasker, Botvinnik, Capablanca, Euwe, Smyslov and Fischer.

Reshevsky played at chess tournaments until the last days. He died in 1992. He won the last tournament at the age of 72.

In a sensational interview with TEDxTuscon, Dr. George Land told the audience the shocking results about creativity tests that he and his team were developing as part of a special NASA project ...

The task of the team of psychologists was to develop a test that would assess and measure the creative potential of preschoolers.

The resulting result shocked not only the customers at NASA, but also the psychologists themselves.

In general terms, the test offered children various tasks that they understood, suggesting that they be solved in one way or another. The test was conducted on 1,600 children aged 4 to 5 years.


Scientists were prepared for a lot, but what they found puzzled them. It turned out that 98% of children fell into the top category of the test, considered by psychologists as “genius”!

Since “98 percent” of geniuses seemed like an unthinkable figure to NASA, the test was rejected as incorrect. However, the developers did not give up and conducted the same test on the same children, but already when the children reached the age of 10 years. This time only 30% of children fell into the category of “genius imagination”.

The result was so strange that NASA again became interested and conducted the same test on the same children, but already at the age of 15. Less than 12% of them were geniuses!

For the next 5 years, NASA did not wait and slightly violated the purity of the experiment, putting the test on a random sample of adults. Among adults, the percentage of genius dropped to 2!

Based on these data, Gavin Nascimento made a detailed scientific publication, the essence of which boils down to the following:


“The school system, colleges and higher education are gradually depriving the growing person of everyone's inherent creative genius. There are several reasons for this, but the most obvious reason seems to be the order of the ruling classes.

What we mean by the concepts of "school" and "education" is in fact a global institution, a complex psychological system, historically created to serve the needs of the ruling class.

In order for the so-called "elite" to maintain their chic style of defiant luxury, while making minimal contributions to the development of new and to production, it is necessary not only to eternal artificial scarcity, endless exploitation and incessant war. We also need a nationwide, supranational brainwashing system that proves that “it has always been this way” and does not allow a critical look at the predatory, slave-owning world system. "

So what should we all do now? Can we restore our creativity?

Dr. George Land says that despite the blockages in consciousness, we continue to be that brilliant 98 percent throughout our lives. The main thing is to understand how this suppressive system works and how to get around it.

George Land explains that each of us has two types of thinking: divergent and convergent, that is, divergent and convergent.

Divergent thinking is what we have from birth and call imagination.

Convergent thinking is also a part of us, working in another part of the brain and limiting divergence. Thus, divergent thinking works as an accelerator of processes with the brain, while convergent thinking inhibits this process. This is fine.

But if you take control of convergent thinking, if you stuff it with some kind of “paradigms” and “dogmas”, it starts to slow down everything in general:

"We (?) Have tried this before, it won't work."

"This is a stupid idea!"

"The textbook says it's impossible!"

This is how it looks on the outside. On the internal, morphological plane, everything is much more interesting. There, your own neurons are fighting friend against friend!

Think about it: YOUR OWN nerve cells, stuffed with ANOTHER dogmatic garbage, criticize and censor, lowering the frequency and power of your brain!

And if you add religious fear to convergence, then the brain will either fall into a stupor, or even burn out.

What can be the solution in this situation?

The solution is very simple. Try again to find in your mind a five-year-old child who has just begun to learn about the world and let him, like a ball held in water, emerge to the surface.

This child is in you, he has always been, he is nowhere and never leaves. It's very easy to start looking for it.

Look at the room around you and think about how you can significantly change and improve a simple chair leg. What else can be improved and where? And don't stop, find the courage to challenge the system!

The entire Soviet Union knew about them. Even in those pragmatic times, they talked about a gift from above, about the incredible properties of human intelligence. From an early age, these children-geniuses conquered with their talents. Unfortunately, many of them paid for their prodigy abilities with an unenviable fate.

Pasha Konoplev

Pasha Konoplev knew how to do everything, and in the eighties he became famous throughout the world. He was able to solve math problems that are asked to high school students at the age of three. And at five, the boy himself, without mentors and anyone's initiative, sat down at the piano and learned to play.

At the age of 6, Pasha became interested in physics, and at the age of eight he became practically an expert in it. Based on the extraordinary data of the boy, at the age of 15 he was admitted to the first year of the university, and at 18, when many of us are still enrolling, the guy was already a graduate student. The parents, immensely proud of their brilliant son, were sure that the guy would have tremendous success in life and a brilliant future.

However, everything comes at a price. The early loads dealt an irreparable blow to Pasha's psyche. His genius went side by side with the hardest despair, the loss of the meaning of life. The young man became aggressive, followed by a series of nervous breakdowns and suicidal attempts. In a violent state, Pavel ended up in a psychiatric hospital, where his mind was jammed by serious medications. The then punitive psychiatry believed that this could alleviate his suffering. Within the walls of the Yellow House, Pasha spent the rest of his short years - he never managed to cross the thirty-year mark. A pulmonary clot caused his death at 29.

Sasha Putrya

Very small - and absolutely brilliant, Sasha lived only 11 years (1977-1989). During this short time, Sasha presented more than 2,000 works. The girl was born in Poltava, and literally from the cradle showed an interest in the fine arts. At the age of three, she miraculously succeeded in paintings and caricatures. She never redrawn from life - all the plots were born in her head. She painted parents, relatives, animals. She was especially attracted by the theme of India - she loved to depict oriental dances, the god Shiva, etc.

At the age of five, Sasha fell ill with acute leukemia, the fight against which took most of her life - as much as 6 years. In the short breaks between examinations, analyzes, hospitals, the girl devoted up to 10 hours a day to drawing.
“Let me go,” the little genius Sasha asked her parents before her death.

Unfortunately, the main fame came to her posthumously. When Sasha was buried, her personal exhibitions began. More than 100 exhibitions in dozens of countries around the world.

Polina Osetinskaya

Polina Osetinskaya was born on December 11, 1975, and in the eighties the whole Soviet Union started talking about her. An eight-year-old child played the most difficult musical works (at this tender age she knew by heart more than 30 hours of musical works of the classics). She was admired, her every concert ended in a full house.
But at the age of 13, a loud and scandalous event happened: Polinka ran away from home. She did not remain silent, and told the whole country on television about what really happened.
It turns out that her genius was the result of her father's bullying. Unfulfilled as a result of a hand injury, the pianist transferred his ambitions to his daughter, in whom he wanted to see a popularly known genius. Polina was beaten, humiliated and actually not released because of the piano, thereby depriving her of her childhood.

Despite this, Polina continued to make music. She graduated from the Lyceum School at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and after that - the conservatory itself. In 2008, Osetinskaya published the book Farewell to Sadness, where she frankly talked about how she felt in childhood and at what cost she got her fame.

Now Polina Osetinskaya continues to give piano concerts and is raising three children. He remembers his "stellar" childhood philosophically, but without enthusiasm, of course.

Alyosha Sultanov

Another case when a child - a genius pianist was deprived of his childhood for the sake of playing the piano - is Alyosha Sultanov.

Alyosha was born in 1970, and literally from the age of one became interested in playing the piano. At two years old, he played simple melodies like "A grasshopper was sitting in the grass," and at five he wrote his first piece of music.
Little Mozart! - so admiringly spoke about him the Soviet and foreign press. However, enterprising and as always “wanting only the best for their child” parents forced Alyosha to exhausting work, believing that this was the only way to reveal his natural talent. And at the age of 8, the genius child was already playing the most complex works of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach on the piano, amazing with his skills.

Unlike Polina Osetinskaya, Alyosha did not run away from home, but due to heavy loads he developed bulimia and a number of nervous breakdowns by the age of nine. The boy rebelled against the parental drill in a different way - he broke instruments in the conservatory, hurt himself, injuring his hands on the eve of a prestigious competition.

At the age of 19, Alexey becomes the owner of the title of the best of the 40 most talented pianists in the world. But not only the title, but also a serious mental disorder in the form of a panic fear of death, so that fame no longer pleases him. He is confident that he will die of a stroke, and spends almost all of his time trying to prevent it. But at the age of 32, he really becomes a victim of a stroke - a number of cerebral hemorrhages, which occurred one after another, take away his vision in one eye, then paralyze him, and 4 years later, at the age of 36, Alyosha Sultanov dies.

Nika Turbina

The whole world knew the wonderful poems of this little poetess. Nika Turbina, possessed by a tender love of poetry, began to compose them at the age of 4. Then Nika still did not know how to write, and her mother wrote down her poems. At the age of 9, Nika's first collection was released and the whole huge country of the USSR started talking about her. She adored fame and attention, and recited her works to the public with such feeling and ardor that they cried in the audience. Her poems were heard on all radio stations of the Soviet Union. At the age of 12, Turbina was awarded the prestigious Venetian Golden Lion award, which of the Soviet poets only Anna Akhmatova managed to receive, and even then at an advanced age.

However, we all know about the tragedy of Nika Turbina. Her fame began to fade as the girl grew up. People listened to her poems, society had new idols, and Nika herself felt that she was not needed by anyone.

Like most of the brilliant kids in this collection, Nicky had multiple nervous breakdowns. She drank, became addicted to drugs, made several suicide attempts, the last of which was successful ... At the age of 27, Nika Turbina died, jumping out of the fifth floor.

Nadya Rusheva

The real name of Nadia Rusheva is Naydan, which means "Eternal Life". She was born into the family of an artist, and naturally from childhood she showed an interest in the visual arts. She became famous as a graphic artist, thanks to numerous illustrations for the novel "The Master and Margarita" and not only. Nadia was taken from the world of the living by a cerebral aneurysm when she was only 17. The planet Rusheva was named in her honor.

Savely Kosenko

Savely Kosenko is one of the few prodigies of that time who survived and continued a successful career. Savely entered the Guinness Book of Records as the first child in the world to write a physics textbook at just 11 years old. At the same time, at 11, he entered a Moscow technical university and graduated at 16. Now Savely Kosenko lives in Canada, successfully runs a number of companies. He is grateful to his parents for the way they raised him and for their achievements, but he does not like to remember his childhood. He notes that the life of a child prodigy is constant conflicts with teachers, bullying by classmates and exaggerated demands from parents. And to learn "for speed" in order to break someone's record - Savely has no idea why this is necessary.

So maybe you shouldn't worry that not all of us are geniuses. Sometimes a calm, steady life with modest but regular accomplishments is much better.
Which is better - to flare up brightly and go out, or to maintain a long, uniform burning - a philosophical question. Everyone chooses their own path. We wish your journey to be long and successful.
