Posted by Marie Gryphon on February 8, 2003I know what you mean, Marie. I went to college with a couple people like that. (Only not to that degree- the youngest were 16, and not 10.) They're brilliant, and everything comes easily to them.
Such people highlight our own perceieved inadequacies, even in fields where we consider ourselves competent.
