Genius

Child Genius 2013.
6 children remaining.
1 to be crowned.

I've 3 favourites.
But I prefer not saying it cos...
I prefer you decoding my hint.

I saw 3 Genius at an early stage.
During my 3 trips to London,
For the filming of the series.

Oliver.
A boy met in Bristol Regional round.
He & Longyin probably the only 2...

Children not playing computer games,
Amongst the about 45 children thereat.
He's eager to learn & play with us.

In Round 2,
He gave Longyin a 'Good Luck' coin.
To me, Oliver is the 'Kind Genius'.


Daniel.
Whose mother said at the start of the programme,
'He could speak a full sentence when he's 8 months old.'

He's a very tidy, calm & polite young gentleman.
Always had eye contact when speaking or spoken to.
To me, Daniel is the 'Manners Genius'.


Rosa Maria.
The lovely girl from London.
She stood out from the other 20 children.

Because she always smiled.
She always had that enthusiasm, energy.
To me, Rosa Maria is the 'Smile Genius'.

Although they all couldn't make it to Round 3,
I've no doubt they're to make it in Life,
Because Attitude counts MOST in Life.

Attack

I always remind our boys,
Some like to attack others...
Because they love the attention,

Or have a bad day, a bad experience,
Or being misled by 'clever editing',
Or just simply being jealous,

Or just enjoy bullying others...
So, they've to learn how to deal with...
Attacks - especially from social network.

Good comments on the Twitter, 
Appraising Younger Boy & I.
Also offensive/mean comments on me.

Visit www.twitter.com, put longyin or chinese,
Or  terence or asian  before child genius,
Then press search, you can see the comments.

I do take Twitter comments 'seriously',  
But only to turn the Negative into Positive, 
Use it as 'Real Life Learning Material'.

To help our boys to Stay Calmer, Think Harder, 
Visualise Better, Plan Further, Solve Bigger etc. 
I showed our boys how I dealt with this Negative,

Stay in charge, 
Have a good laugh,


Terence
Good to see the Good in Control

Intelligence

After the TV series was on air,
We had a chat during breakfast.

I : So, if anyone asks you about who won...
The contest, what'd be your answer then?

YB : I'd say,
'Can't say. Legal papers signed.'
Then walk away.

I : Good. I'm glad that you'll keep...
A promise.

While I picked him up from school,
Younger Boy started a chat.

YB : Did you know how one tried to get...
answers from me about the contest?

I : Did they ask you , 'Who won?'

YB : Exactly.

I : How did you answer it then?

YB : I told them,
'I'm afraid I can't answer this question.'

I : That's good.

YB : Then the same person asked again,
'Will you appear in the last episode?'

I : Very clever.  What did you say?

YB : I replied,
'Changing your words doesn't change my answer.'

I : Ha ha, that's very good.

YB : And the same person asked a 3rd question.

I : Really?

YB : Yep,  it was,
'Which episodes are worth watching?'

I : Wow, that's smart!  And your answer was?

YB : I said,
'Every episode is worth watching!'

Show

To help our boys preparing Life better,
I often show Real World to them,
Through different avenues.

So this time,
Unlike any other time,
I encouraged Younger Boy to...

Take part in a national competition,
Which was also a new tv show.
Because I'd like to show him...

How Competition is part of Life,
How Strength & Weakness identified,
How Success & Failure managed;

How to learn from Others,
How to be part of a Team,
How to be KFC : Keep Focused & Calm.

Younger Boy did show his potentials.
In this full of drama new tv show,
Everything expected, unexpected...happened!


Fate
The Show must go on...and on Channel 4...at 9:00 pm on 11 June

Strange

Strange.
To see Younger Boy & I in magazines.
On 8 June.

'What's on TV', 
'TV & Satellite Week'.
The good thing is .......

Unlike some, the reporter has NOT...
Put words into my mouth.
The writing actually based on what I said.

Stranger.
To see our (same) picture appearing....
In The Times paper on the same day.

In particular,
The Headline of the article in Times2,
'Genius? It's a Curse. I want him to be happy.'

The reporter actually quoted what I'd told her.
But still funny to see YB's  'round'  face!
It's really happening.....

The new 4-part tv series,
Which YB was involved in.
On air Tue (11 June) at 9:00 pm on Channel 4.

Strangest of all,
Everything expected to happen....happened.
Everything wasn't expected to happen.....happened!

Strange Feeling = Happy Ending?

Help

I always remind our boys,
'Help others whenever it's...
Safe & Sensible to do so.

'And whenever possible,
The Priority is to help those...
Helping themselves.'

Because it's lucky that they're...
In a position to help less lucky ones,
Rather than them needing help.

Because it's essential that they're...
NOT doing everything for the others,
Making others sitting there to be helped.

Offering help to others is an Art.
Too little won't make a difference.
Too much will make others Dependent.

I'm offering help to some parents,
At this very moment.
Time will tell if they've the Will...

To make things happen,
For their children's all round development,
By creating the Right Environment.
