As some of you heard from the earlier topic:Teaching a Teacher, my dad recently hired a tutor. Nearly every single session he has with me he tells my parents "He is amazing. I learn something new from him everytime I come here!"

Today I read The Einstien Factor. Yes, GREAT BOOK. I loved it. And to those who have purchased and used The Genius Code - it's incredible. I've already done the advanced civilization method (according to the book) without even realizing it was one of the methods!

Anyways, I was explaining the entire IQ thing with children before and after the age of four, and how children stop producing neurons after a certain age. He looked at my like I was from some crazy planet from somewhere way way out there. . .

Then, looking through the book, he comments, "Man. . .you're in eighth grade. This is stuff I learned in college. Some of it I never even would have guessed without this."

I showed him the Gravity Position, and talked about underwater swimming and Masking. Then when he thought back to his middle school and high school days, he recalled that swimmers, among himself and his friends all had higher grades than the other kids in his classes. Then, when he STOPPED, amazingly enough:he began to have trouble in school.

Now that I recall, so did I! Hah! Anyways, he looked as if he almost wanted to borrow the book from me. Everytime he talks about his experiences and his techniques with learning, and the entire process, I understand everything he says, and it has begun to bore me.

Any insight on what I should do?

Remind him that he's there to tutor you.. get him back to what you want to learn from him. The topics he's supposed to be tutoring you on. If he keeps wanting to learn from you tell him you want a cut of his fee (joking) get him to get the LSC courses himself.

My suggestion

Nice advice, Alex. I've peaked his interest with PR, and Einstein Factor. Perhaps there's more that would finally get him to ask - "could you show me where to get this?"

That's something that I've been waiting for. I find that it's best to not ask them, or offer them anything, but rather let their curiousity go to you.

Oh, Genius one! I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but my recommendation to you is to stop thinking that you are some kind of genius. If you were, you wouldn't be in a normal school.I think that my uncle could be concidered a genius. For example, He was sent to a special school for the gifted when he was only eight. He graduated from MIT at the age of 19. He works for the government now. I don't know in what exactly. You might have an IQ of 125, which is pretty descent, but not high enough. Besides being an accountant and speaking 3 languages, I also tutor math. I love to tell my pupil's parents how smart their kids are. Its great for bringing in more clients. You know. (My child’s tutor says that my kid is gifted. What’s his name? I think my son is gifted too. Its all about business my son. Always think about the following paragraph. Its half Italian and half Spanish with a little Latin in it:

Ma que dicci filo de putana, En este mundo siempre va a ver algien que sepa mas que tu. El inteligente de verdad nunca esta diciendole a todo el mundo lo habil que el es. El genio de verdad es admirado nuca por el mismo poti conselto y en tuto mundo.

The most important words about this passage are: The true intelligent individual never mentions to the world how bright he or she is because the world already figure it out.

I'd say that's a negative assumption, Gino. And, I'm not saying I'm intelligent, or that I'm a genius. Did I say that anywhere? Have I ever said that?

Besides - ridicule is not something that passes by me. I don't account for that. "Only business, my son."

For your information, my mom does not think I'm as great as the tutor says I am. I, one day, will be greater than a quite huge many. And I believe that's something you should be happy for, about me.

I wish you luck in everything you do, Gino. Knowledge is power. . .and power is freedom.

I choose to live for always.


EDIT: Oh, and FYI, Gino: it's considered, not concidered. Also FYI: throughout the past I've been offered countless times into gifted education programs, schools, and advanced classes. Also note that Einstein as well as even Paul Scheele did poorly in school at times - what does normal school have to do with anything?

Humm, Youngprer has never claimed to be a genius to my knowledge. It is apparent he has aspirations to achieve and do. Which I think is mighty cool

Youngprer, if you got a printer, print out one of the pages from the LSC web site, PR or GC sales pitch,1 page will do, fold it and use it as a bookmark for the books that your tutor is working with you on. If your tutor is really interested you can give him the page it will have the URL of the website so he can look for himself. At least that way you don't have to tell him to look for it himself. That way you don't have to wait for him to ask

I found from experience that sometimes you just have to give them the information.. saying something like you seem to be so interested in this, here is some information about it you can follow up if you like.

My the force be with you

Gino, I never knew you have to be in a "spacial" school to be a genius!
It's like saying:
"whoa, I'm not in the olympic team, so I'll never be able to be a good athlete!"

secondly:

quote:
Besides being an accountant and speaking 3 languages, I also tutor math.

then
quote:
The true intelligent individual never mentions to the world how bright he or she is because the world already figure it out.

what was that information for? I mean, accusing youngprer of boasting with his skills, then showing off with your own skills and then having the nerve to post the second quoted statement is just hilarious
LOL

Sorry man, if you're a genius, you're a genius. IQ doesn't prove much in my opinion. A man can have a high IQ and still be an idiot ... no .. wait ... a man can be a genius and still be an idiot, too. damn.

well, I just think that your comments were not very well placed in this thread. I mean, the guy just wants his tutor to discover and experience the same things he did.

Sorry if I started offending you, and I disn't mean to start any argument!

cheers

Stefan

Youngprer, your parents are paying for the minutes/hours that the tutor spends with you. I hope he's not the only one who gets to learn something during these sessions.

Xehupatl made some very good points in his post, don't you think Gino?

Besides, I think it's better to express your pride in things that you've been learning and excelling in, rather than to just say, "No, that's. . .ONLY BUSINESS, MY SON."

Believe it or not, Gino:there's great people in this world of all sorts, that show and say that they are bright.


About what Alex said:yes I have an urge to achieve, and to succeed. Since learning PhotoReading, I've been learning things faster than ever before, but once again:I have NEVER said, or even implied that I'm a genius.

Getting knowledge as fast as I do. . . . . .it's made life good. And Gino, if you go back, and search through your posts, you'll find much of them are negative. MOST of them are you trying to succeed, and saying with likely doubt:"So you've had results with this??"

Now, in this post, I didn't feel that I was bragging, or boasting. . .I only boast when I feel people are wanting to make me feel lower than I really am.

Everyone can be a genius, believe it or not. Everyone has the tremendous capacity to succeed in everything they want to achieve in life. Everyone has AMAZING power. . .power that they somehow often doubt that they have.

Gino. . .for your sake: start believing.
