also i get its becase she's a main character but a male teacher having this big speech to say how great one of the prettiest women in the room is. well it sounds like he's trying to bang her.
@@T9RX3 That's crab mentality for you, which is an extremely common trait among women. Someone else succeeding makes you look worse by proxy, so you try to drag everyone down so they're not "better than you".
When you're smart you learn to shut your mouth, because you know people often won't really listen anyway because they are so caught up in their own reality
I grew up being told I was the smartest person in the room, teacher included. I had a high IQ. I hated it. Being the smartest in the room doesn't mean anything if you never achieve success, or lack social skills to make friends. Having a high IQ doesn't make you better than others. A neurosurgeon can talk about the brain for hours on end, but at the end of the day, they still bring their car to a mechanic when it needs to be fixed. There's always someone better than you at something.
This is idiotic because same goes for Bill gates as well as the mechanic also, But High IQ Always helps you get ahead in life, Nobody will tell you that because then you will improve IQ then😂

I can tell you from personal experience that parents and other trusted adults beat any and all emotional reward out of excelling (naturally excelling). I understand that it must have been endlessly frustrating for my parents to see that I naturally excelled and failed when I didn't try... but I was always trying. Nothing hits me as hard to this day than still only hearing compliments and missing me from my parents ONLY through someone else that they have told. Not that they told them to tell me, but like they didn't want me to ever get any reward, inspiration, or motivation from naturally being good. If I had a child, I would try really hard to understand that childs strengths and weaknesses to build a proper human. Obviously that's easier said than ever accomplished, but still a better starting point than saying "I'll just love them" while drawing weird lines on what my limits of love are.
I think that your comment was beautifully written..I really like the way you worded that last sentence. "While drawing weird lines on what my limits of love are" ....Makes you really think... .. Btw I send you my deepest empathy.
I wouldnt sit in a class with a teacher that said this, not even if I was the "genius" he's talking about. Complete waste of time if the teacher thinks that everyone should quit the class if they dont naturally understand something. Im in the class to learn, not for the teacher to tell me there is an imaginary bar that I will never reach even after working hard and studying.
@@Sam-uq5gt A good story will suspend your disbelief and make you forget you're watching a movie by mentally transporting you into the setting yourself. However, when the writing is this unrealistic, it doesn't make you feel like you're there. It reminds you that you're watching a movie because it sucks and no one talks like this.
Her parents allowed her to read at 2 and inspired her to do so. My son was out of diapers, was doing well with beginners ASL and just starting to learn to do a full run at the age of one. Inspiration and positive reinforcement creates paragons. Sorry for saying this, I was denied a lot as a child and I learned that I suffered because of it. This short inspired me to say something even if it was TMI.
This movie should be called "The Groomer" I had a professor try this on me in grad school. Not in front of a classroom, but multiple times in front of other grad students. It was the early nineties and I reported him and was told nothing vould be done about it because he was full professor and brought a lot of money into the university. Turned out he had had many affairs with students, another he had treated as he did me had reported him, but they "could not do snything about it because he was too powerful " Yes things were quite different, not that long ago.
So, “grooming” adult women? It is of course an ethical problem, but not a legal one. I’m sorry that happened to you. Grooming refers to adult efforts to gain access to underage victims.
Actually from what I've heard things are wayyyy worse nowadays its the fellow student males who are ""sport stars" making $$ for that college are not being held responsible for their crimes against females. Just straight up slap on the hand..... no consequences..... women, young ladies got together found what to do about it..... that was a good Documentary... im sorry I forgot what it is called 😢id Google it for you, but not good at phone!! I'd lose this thread.. BTW I'm sorry you had an older teacher use their position for their own personal...... it was against the rules & did it anyway. God will judge them in the end the good win.
I'm sorry you went through this,really.I would just like to share,the two universities I've attended were pure garbage. bad learning environments.unreliable instructors. they stole my government funds .they called it administrative Authority.I did much better in simple neighborhood community colleges.
That was his mindset throughout the whole movie. It cost him all his money to realize you can be broke and also a free man. The all or nothing mentality was flawed, and he finally saw that.
Yet we tell OURSELVES this all the time and fail to realize our dreams because of it. Our thoughts are like this classroom. Exploring ourselves can help us become aware of the ruler which determines our life outcome. Switch the ruler, become the best version of yourself.
@@kissame104 Exactly. I love this quote: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
The worst thing that ever happened to me was an educator acknowledging my intelligence. It put more pressure on me than I knew how to handle at that age
I remember working my @ss off on the 1st project i lead, was also the biggest of biggest my life, I WAS SO HAPPY during a lot crafting and then when the presentation was finnished the best i got was "i expected more from you" by the teacher lol. That's what you get when you build fame as a smart guy. I worried about my grade but i was still happy with my performance what bothered me was that i didnt lead my partners well and they act unpredictably leading big mistakes. But this helped fill many moments of self doubt later "guess my best is still trash", "if i fail i'll be looked down upon as a fraud".
Couldn't agree more. I don't know how or why I tested in the 99th percentile nationwide as a kid... I wasn't being taught anything at home, I spent my days watching cartoons, riding my bike and playing with Legos and hot wheels. Ever since that damned psychologist placed me in the gifted program in 3rd grade, everyone expected me to be some sort of genius. I just liked watching Batman and Superman and playing with my Legos... School was just easy for me, doesn't mean I enjoyed it or even wanted to excel at it. All the added pressure made me not want to even try at anything. I thought it was better that people believed me to be an intelligent underachiever rather than actually try as hard as I could and failing to accomplish anything... Lol. Growing up I always felt afraid of being exposed for not being as smart as everyone said I was, that really held me back in life because I was always afraid to take chances or to compete in certain spaces for fear of being exposed as a fraud since everyone around me made intelligence my whole identity... I was always "the smart kid" in every circle. Even among all the gifted students at the summer enrichment camp we were invited to by the state, I was "the smart kid." I could never live up to it.
@@Sigrafix Have you seen the meme on "gifted kids". If not, you gotta check it out, it is so dead on - Most work sporadically, have a ton of abandoned hobbies and spiral into self hatred at the smallest mistakes, the other 2% are doctors, there's no in between 😁 (something like that). Yep, I've found that appearing average (or even a little less than) can make A LOT of things go smoother 👍
@@Sigrafix *sigh* 2024 and we still get those. Look: if you're over 30, you should be waaay over it and either fixing the f-up coping mechanism it induced or indulging the hell outta 'em. Neither is wrong and more power to you either way. Now, If you're under 30 and grew up in an environment that *blessed* you with IQ screenings and aknowledgment of your capabilities but simply never had the balls to assert your non-intellectually inclined personality's needs, then it's on you and not even RUclips is filthy enough of a moral cesspool to tolerate such a pathetic display of delusion. I had neither validation, nor official tests given to me. I had to look and ask and fight for them, just to have my illiterate immigrant parents telling me to shut up and "be normal". Intellect is neither a blessing nor a curse. It's the environment it evolves in that becomes hell or heaven. From where I stand, your whole post is you whining about heaven.
@gateneller9465 Yes, in private. On their own. Not in front of the other class where doing so will undermine the confidence of most of the rest of his class. It put her on the spot and potentially made her a target for jealous rivals. Also, none of what they said makes any sense. Teachers aren't looking for geniuses they're trying to teach a topic to people who aren't geniuses. If you tell someone they need to be a genius to succeed at something, then if they aren't, you have basically told them that they have no chance at it. Except most of the time, that isn't true. Usually, the people who are naturally good at something end up doing worse in the long run than someone who was bad and had to get good through hard work. So, by doing what this professor did, he alienated his entire class and insulted the student who had been participating the most despite the fact that he should be rewarding class engagement, and he made it very clear to everyone who his favorite is. All of which could have been avoided by having him do this in private after class.
@patrickthomas1048 Bad teaching is telling your entire class that they are wasting their time and money on being here because one student who was clearly trying not to be noticed by others is actually miles better better them so they might as well quit. He could have talked to her in private, and he wouldn't have made any of his other students feel inadequate for literally no reason.
Same as my son, he can read and write at the age of two..😊 when he first saw a Xmas card at 7 months old,he stares at it as if he is reading it,look at me and smile. Can't forget it,,haha
They stare out of curiosity not because they’re some sort of child genius. Parents like u are sooo annoying. You read into every lil thing ur kid does and make it out to be something more than it is. Just stop it already!! And I highly doubt he could read n write at 2.
I never met any "university" i.e. college "professor" i.e. instructor who behaved this way. I don't understand why he is so interested in her alleged ability and her behavior. If his judgment is correct, and she is gifted, to understand his question would require understanding reincarnation of the human spirit and karma. "If you are not a genius, don't bother" shows he doesn't understand human consciousness as exertion of individuality. Hollywood disinformation.
with this setup and background music she can be persuaded that she is Paris Hilton... professor: "u shot ur parents when..." ... Girl: "when i was two" ... professor: "i meant shot pass by in academia" ... Girl: "O' ..."
Dude this feels like complete wish fulfillment "...and then he tells the varsity athlete that he's not that great and he tells that stupid nerd that he's annoying and then he tells everyone that I'm the smartest and I just sit there all cool because I don't actually care and then ge goes on about how genius I am and then..."
I thought we were all done with the “let’s hate Brie” nonsense! Seriously, don’t you ppl know how to move on???? The hate doesn’t even make sense at this point!
When you grow up hearing people tell you how perfect /beautiful/smart /etc. you are, you grow up always wondering when you will fall. Natural talent is a bonus IF it falls within your natural field of interest AND you"re willing to work your butt off to be the best in that field. Anything less and you are just "wasting your talent". Hard work is the key to achieving greatness.
Talent is nothing without purpose and dedication. There is something to be said about human power of will. To be able to push yourself and achieve greatness. Yes, you may need an aptitude but talent doesn't keep you going when you're hurt, scared, tired or alone.
True. Some of the people with the highest IQ's in recorded history never amounted to anything. No fame, no innovation, no great success. Genius is nothing without passion and dedication.
A huge obstacle to genius people specially if they have artistic talent is to balance their own emotions. Everything in life screams to them… beautiful things are brighter, colorful, happier…on the other hand the bad stuff hurts more, the pain is excruciating, heaven and hell are f. real. I would add to purpose and dedication 👉🏼EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. Nobody teaches that at schools, neither at home. Help yourself or a high IQ friend with a book about managing emotions. Wish you the best! ❤️
This scene takes me back to a moment long ago in High School when my, normally observant yet quiet self- chose to speak up and challenge the substitute Teachers conclusion at the end of his story. "...and this is the only way that could have happened, therefore they ARE the guilty party!" So I spoke up and asked him "Why is that the only way it could have happened?" He is visibly annoyed and returns said challenge with a very loud "Well why don't you enlighten us with how else it could POSSIBLY have happened!?!" I am shy but I give him three quick examples, the room is silent so I add "and that's just off the top of my head, i can come up with more if you give me a minute." He glares at me, turns his back on the Class, crosses his arms and starts furiously tapping his mouth. I fear his angered wrath while a few Kids make those "ohh you did it now" noises- I am terrified. He suddenly whirls around, points at me and says "YOU! If you don't go to College, what a waste, WHAT A WASTE!!!" He continues on while I am frozen in embarrassment. Then all the whispering comments began to swirl around me, "brown nose!" "Teachers pet!" "know it all!" "smarty pants" I heard the compliment yet I felt about 2" tall! I silently vow to keep my big mouth shut. Good times! ❤
meh, so many people get called naturally gifted/talented for their skills, and it's almost insulting to them to discount the hardwork and effort they had put in to get there. No one is born with all the skills needed to be world class at something - they may have a slight advantage, but to reach the top ranks it's more a requirement of dedication than talent.
@@user-xh2so8ef3o you /can/ prove me wrong by finding a counter example. Who's world class at something without putting in any hard work and effort to attain it? I'm not saying everyone's born equal, some people are absolutely born more /adapted/ to certain activities. And the world's elite absolutely had an adavntage in the majority of cases. But they wouldn't be where they are without decades of commitment, training, and work.
In my experience, the quiet person REALLY doesn't want you to acknowledge them in front of the rest of the class. I had something similar happen in a math class in high school (Not being told I was a genius, but the teacher bringing up my test scores and such). In my Freshmen year, a new book in the Wheel of Time series came out (Path of Daggers), and I did a re-read of the first seven books of the series and then started on book eight. I did most of my reading in school, sometimes before class in the hallway, sometimes at lunch, but often in my classes when I was already done with what needed to be done with the class. A few weeks into the semester, maybe even mid-term, not sure, we got the grades back from a test in my geometry class, which was the third test we'd had so far, and I apparently had the only good grade in the class. I had somewhere between a 98-100 on the test, while the rest of the class had grades in the 70s and below. At the time, the teacher used to put the number of tests with each grade on the board, and I was consistently the only "A". He never put names up there, just like, A = 1, B = 3, C = 12, D = 7, F = 3 or something for 26 students (I don't remember the exact number of students, but it was 20+ students for one teacher). My classmates always used to complain because "someone" messed up the curve, and if "they" hadn't gotten an A, the teacher would have had to grade give out bonus points or something. I don't know if that was a real thing or not, but that is what everyone believed in school! Anyway, after giving our tests back, he put the numbers on the board, and there was 1 "A", and every other person had a "D" or an "F" (At that time, a 70-78 was a D, and everything below that was an F.) The teacher then proceeded to go into a rant about how nobody was trying and all that, and then he pointed me out telling everyone that I spend half the class "reading novels" and was still the only one who got a good grade. Needless to say, I really didn't like being singled out like that, because now everyone knew that I was the one throwing off their curve! Not just that, you can't just shame people into being better at math...
similar situations are why I all but gave up on school for a few years, was technically a freshman in HS for 3 years, because i never did any work just so I A) wouldn't get spotlighted and B) wouldn't have everyone hating me
Sounds like the math "teacher" I had in tech school. She couldn't do the job. Did a HORRIBLE job, and she didn't understand a lot of it. Especially didn't know how to read measuring tools correctly. The class behind me was finally able to get her fired.
you mean playing how a Professor should be rather than some piece of excrement pushing personal agendas down the throats of people there to learn not be indoctrinated meanwhile the working man and woman have to carry your kind of "educated" yet u cant turn a spanner twits a screw lift a wheel change a wheel etc South Park its a level of perception on society that is a literal Crystal Ball for the future of how dumbshit ideas pan out! edit id fix typos but then you would have no comeback!
@Iowagrown123 - To be fair to my teacher, he was actually a student at a nearby university working on his Master's in Education. We were his first class, so he felt pressure to succeed. He just had no real business in the classroom at the time. I hope it worked out for him in the end. I believe we had a total of three people pass that class, and I was the only one who had a decent grade. I knew other kids who were in the same class with a different teacher who didn't do ANYTHING and still had higher grades than most of the ones with my teacher. Hard to tell which teachers were better, though, because some of the ones who had good grades with other teachers were dumb as rocks and should never have graduated when they did. Some teachers just want to get through the semester and pass the kids off to the next guy or girl. Finding a happy medium between being too laissez-faire (not in an economic sense) and too demanding is extremely hard, but it's what is required to be a great teacher.
Ive thrown the curve in one or two classes before but I did the opposite. I laughed at everyone and told them they are idiots. I was a maniac in high school. People didnt know if I was gonna throw the curve in the class and fail everyone or tell the teacher to fuck off and throw a chair.
@stansman5461 Why, because he was honest & complimented her? Jeez, talk about making a big deal out of nothing. Definitely wasn't his intent to be creepy or get with her. I think a lot of ppl need to actually watch this film so they actually know what's going on.
@cyryl3827 What date? She just tagged along while he spent all his mother's money. But yeah, all that was after the fact, once she basically hounded him to take her out. You have to look at the character in question. He literally didn't care about anything, including life or death. He was basically gambling his life away. At some point he just sort of rolled with it I guess. He doesn't strike me as a person who really thinks too much about what he's doing, but to his credit he did try to reject her more than once. Also worth mentioning that they are both grown ass adults & can do what they want. When taking the character into account, he really doesn't care much bout the ethics of screwing around with a student lol. It's just a movie man, maybe don't take it so seriously.
For those who wanted actual advice here, the answer is Passion. Intellect and skill can get you far, but if you don't have the drive to be the best that you can be and then more, you'll never truly be the best. Look at Muhammed Ali or Mike Tyson, they lived and breathed Boxing. It was their passion and for Mike, probably still is. Look at Keanu Reeves. Constantly in interviews he talks about how much he loves movies and action and storytelling, and because of that hes considered one of the greatest actors ever. Edit: Alright fine, for the people judging my taste in actors and what I enjoy, feel free to insert Willem Dafoe. If I see anyone slandering Willem Dafoe, I will find you. Its Passion. The answer to why someone would be better in that scenario is because they are passionate for the topic.
Seriously, Keanu Reeves? He is objectively, a terrible actor. Like literally, he can't ACT. He become a movie star mostly because of his good looks. He will literally never get an acting award nomination for anything other than a Razzie. What a God awful example.
I cannot give this comment enough thumbs up. I keep trying to tell people it's passion and drive above all. Our current college situation is insane because everyone was told to go to college even if they didn't have passion or drive to do anything beyond.
You can tell she's a genius and he isn't, because he says she's better than everyone and should start acting like it. You go around acting like, you go around becoming a target of everyone's jealousy. You keep quiet, you just get to keep going on as a genius.
It's a fantasy: that those who felt themselves overlooked are secretly unrecognised geniuses. That is not the case. Get out of your shell and work hard, and make something of yourself. Don't wait for that one person to come along and recognise your worth, because you ain't worth anything until you actually go out and try, hard as it is.
While it's a generalised fantasy, I agree, it ends up happening a lot. Many gifted people didn't know they were gifted until someone else paid attention.
Gotta agree with daniel, you can work your ass off 99.9% and still go unnoticed... until that one person starts seeing what you are natural or passionate at or even that you are "gifted". Sometimes it takes a person to see the beauty or darkness that you've kept well hidden and the rest of the world has overlooked.
This is very true. I took a university postgraduate IT class and we each had to write a paragraph about ourselves on day one. A guy from Switzerland wrote a long-winded essay about how he is actually a genius but everyone at school thought he was stupid and he was really an unrecognised genius all along. I felt so embarrassed for him because I've heard so many men say that about themselves, and yet they don't understand that the probability of so many geniuses being in one place is so unlikely.
In reality, this would make multiple people extremely uncomfortable and report this teacher to the dean for specific targeting of students and revealing personal information and details they did not consent to share
@@tinadavy3990 exactly. It’s what the kids would call “glazing”, and not only that, these are personal details the student does NOT want strangers to know about them. You don’t know everyone in that class. You have no idea if they are crazy or what.
My senior HS English teacher pushed me really hard. We had a paper worth a 1/3 of the grade. We were constantly revising it with his feedback. We had to think of the intended audience and keep it as concise as possible. We wrote the initial one and he had us scale it back to a bare bones skeleton form and build off of that. It was stressful because I had to pass that class to graduate. I was never pushed that hard before. I even got a C in AP Calculus because I'd be doing my paper in there. He really did bring up my skills, and that did help me in my career.
Does she have one of those contracts like the rock where every role she's in she has to be beloved by everyone around her? Like he's literally sitting there "omg she's literally the best ever, she'll never fail"
bc she's smart in real life, annoyingly smart to some people, intellectuals are annoying, they tend to not fun to others who are not like them, so when she auditions they cast her in the smart roles
In case no one bothers telling the actual reason she's better at writing than he is at tines. I'll go ahead and say it here. The person who studies a subject but doesn't stand out in anything else spends more time on that subject than the person who masters a subject yet spends time partying, looking for girls or boys or enjoying their victories. He studied the game. He spent his time reaching the highest level and stopped. After that he spent maybe 5% of the entire time he is awake during a month on the game. The quiet person who studies their chosen field. That person, if they don't stand out publicly tends to spend as much of their waking time on that subject as they can. They go beyond simply mastering that field. In ancient Greece, the athletes would be declared gods. This is because these people studied their chosen profession quietly until it was time to demonstrate it during the Olympics. There is a masturbation meme about someone with a giant arm and a normal arm on the other side. This is actually a thing the athletes who threw discusses or the javelins in ancient Greece experienced because they had arms like that. They've dug up their graves and examine their bodies and the arm they used to throw whatever it is they were throwing was a third larger than their other arm. This is how much time they spent on their sport. I once saw a blacksmith working on a ranch who picked up a 600 pound anvil by its horn and walk across the room with it and set it down on a pedestal like it was a gallon jug of milk. There's also many RUclips videos of a Slavic power lifter, who goes into a gym, dressed as a janitor and trolls the giant guys. He's telling them they're lifting fake weights. He's like 5 foot nothing and looks to he is barely above a stick figure. He walks up to 8 or 900 pound weights. Lifts them like there nothing. Just so he can troll those giant power lifters that they're lifting fake weights.😂 ruclips.net/user/shortsJJlcU-ZF9z0?si=sw1HkFoAfTXB-kPm
He's not wrong at all. Although geniuses can be cultivated and aren't necessarily always natural occurances, they are fundamentally at a level above their peers. And it mostly has to do with time. They gain an understanding and ability early on that allows them to be prodigious in their field. Anyone gaining that degree of understanding any later is already at a huge disadvantage, and the understanding itself is already rare enough. The only way to "catch up" is as the old saying goes (which I'll paraphrase horribly) "hardwork is better than talent when talent fails to work hard."
I don't think this entirely captures the picture. For example, what you call "cultivated geniuses" still tend to be incredibly smart people from a very young age. It's just that they haven't necessarily had good opportunities to demonstrate their abilities or failed often at "genius" level tests where they're evaluated on things at difficulties far beyond their current stage of development. There are degrees to intelligence, but there is a threshold below which geniuses cannot be "cultivated" so to speak.
@@rishirajasekaran6055 There are certainly some people that lack the ability to become geniuses in general but some evidence has appeared that people can cultivate geniuses on purpose. And a lot of intelligence and genius is lost due to our lacking systems alongside the coddling society. It simply is what it is tbh
The message is wrong. No one becomes a writer at birth. It aways involves effort. If you don't try to improve you'll never become "a genius" at the first place.
@@ImperativeGames No one becomes any sort of intellectual genius at birth unless it's a birth defect. Genius isn't a genetic based predisposition, it's a pattern of thought, understanding, and efficiency relative to the general states of those categories. Someone who can do multi-step algebraic equations in their head is considered smart; someone who can calculate single step multiplication equations between six digit numbers in their head at the speed equal to or quicker than a calculator is considered a genius. The difference is found in quality and efficiency.
@ziggerotstask6287 I see the issue with your argument. You have confused genius with smart. Smart people can be nutured intellectual to seem near genius. True genius doesn't need to be nutured. There is a natural extreme talent that trumps the smart person with a nurturing environment. Very few will ever be a true genius.
What people are looking for is a documentary called ‘In search of greatness’ that about sums up perfectly what sets perceived genius from the rest. The two qualities you have to posses is what the experts in said documentary called ‘A rage to master’ (as in not a desire to master something but a RAGE) and an ‘ability to learn’ (as in quickly pick up the concept of what you’re trying to be good at i.e piano).
After your IQ is ~120 or more, social class has more influence on success. Several large studies have been done on this. It means that a fair few people who should be brilliant surgeons, scientists, artists, cousellors etc are working shifts to have a normal existence. I like to think everyone has moments of genius, some people just have more of them.
That's why if we have people in our families or good friends that are held back from achieving such things, we should do what we can to support them. Put them up in your house. Cook them dinner. Whatever you can. It's the surest way to make a difference in not just one life, but every life that person goes on to touch.
Everybody admires the genius yet studies show that praising hard work over natural talent is better for our mindset throughout our lives, movable mindset, rather than a fixed mindset
I think of growing up in Boomer Catholicism, the era when kids were taught to become petrified of God. And it stuck with many, that visceral fear of doing one wrong thing and being cast into hell. To "be good enough" haunted me most my life, and to say I'm sorry for a sin was never enough. I thank the good nuns for teaching me about Jesus, He has stuck with me...but the nuns only taught us what they knew. I fear my life review, too late to undo the wrongs.
Every genius studies more. Every pro athlete plays more. Every musician practices more. Every prodigy is a person who does one thing more than anyone else. If you train well for an extra 10,000 hours you'll get as good as them.
I was considered a genius. I read at two as well, highest IQ in my district, intuitively knew how to play instruments before I ever touched them, etc. I never worked at things or practiced at all. All of the things I do well or can figure out intuitively were just, like, already in there somehow.
Though I think I would have worded it differently, as a college professor, he has a point. In normal school they tell you that you can be anything, because as an unmolded student you have a huge range of possibilities, but not actually “anything”. Truth is though, everyone is good at something. School has two purposes 1) Help you realize and fulfill your natural talents 2) Help to supplement the things that aren’t your natural talents so you can be proficient If you’ve made it to college and no teacher has helped you realize what your natural talent is, or you haven’t realized yourself that there is an area of study you are naturally talented in, then the education system failed you.
Not true. All of Hollywood says it. Edit: to answer the people asking why people hate her, she has publicly said anyone who doesn't like her movies is just a 38 year old white man who the movie wasn't meant for. She can make movies for different audiences, but when you specifically call out a demographic and say "I don't want you watching my movies"... well, be careful what you wish for.
I love Mark Walbergh, but him playing a genius was just not something I bought. lol I liked the movie, but that part of it was always weird for me. He has basically typecast himself throughout his career. Still love him!❤
If someone chooses to be quiet and not speak out, don’t pick them out in a room full of their peers. Any teacher watching this, please know that public praise can be as damaging as public criticism.
This movie captures so well what overwhelming debt feels like on an emotional level. Mainly the smothering and constant fear that you'll lose it all. and in some ways it is what helped me get through a really hard time financially
Why is the idea of a black mermaid strange to you? Never played DnD? MTG? Are Tolkien and Brothers Grimm your only source for the fantastic? Just asking, since I also avoid the Fantasy genre since it's predominantly white and every magical race is a parallel of real world ethnicities and religions.
@@amazinness4131You didn't read my comment. I asked why it was weird for a mermaid to be black. In fact, why is a mermaid white, to begin with? Why is that the default assumption? There are Chinese mermaids in Chinese folklore and various water spirits all over different continents. Some aren't fish based, but Walrus based mermaids and sirens. They wear a walrus skin and remove it to switch between forms. I think these are North American based. North American as in Native American.
I was shamed in childhood for being the quietest child in school. And i have been a genius all my life but i am only discovering it now.that pain still with me. Why does everyone need talking some of us are happy with ourselves silent
BUT.. As someone said before, you don’t have to be a genius at something, if you are a genius of hard work it will show! Basically that attitude and determination are way better than just being a genius 💯😎
Honestly kinda embarassing at this point that she always takes roles where she is massively better morally, physically and mentally than anyone else in the show lololol.

also i get its becase she's a main character but a male teacher having this big speech to say how great one of the prettiest women in the room is. well it sounds like he's trying to bang her.
Why would you hate her?
😂
Odd reason to hate someone.
@@T9RX3 That's crab mentality for you, which is an extremely common trait among women. Someone else succeeding makes you look worse by proxy, so you try to drag everyone down so they're not "better than you".
When you're smart you learn to shut your mouth, because you know people often won't really listen anyway because they are so caught up in their own reality
You mean their own delusions.
Hallelujah
Truth
Well said, it's just a pain in the ass to convince stubborn people that they're wrong.
I felt this reply
I grew up being told I was the smartest person in the room, teacher included. I had a high IQ. I hated it. Being the smartest in the room doesn't mean anything if you never achieve success, or lack social skills to make friends.
Having a high IQ doesn't make you better than others. A neurosurgeon can talk about the brain for hours on end, but at the end of the day, they still bring their car to a mechanic when it needs to be fixed. There's always someone better than you at something.
I used to have a neighbor who was a neurosurgeon and loved working with his car

"What? Nooo."
I can tell you from personal experience that parents and other trusted adults beat any and all emotional reward out of excelling (naturally excelling).
I understand that it must have been endlessly frustrating for my parents to see that I naturally excelled and failed when I didn't try... but I was always trying.
Nothing hits me as hard to this day than still only hearing compliments and missing me from my parents ONLY through someone else that they have told.
Not that they told them to tell me, but like they didn't want me to ever get any reward, inspiration, or motivation from naturally being good.
If I had a child, I would try really hard to understand that childs strengths and weaknesses to build a proper human. Obviously that's easier said than ever accomplished, but still a better starting point than saying "I'll just love them" while drawing weird lines on what my limits of love are.
I kind of get what you mean. Sorry you didn't get what you needed from them. The "indirect" second-hand comment thing also happened to me...

I wouldnt sit in a class with a teacher that said this, not even if I was the "genius" he's talking about.
Complete waste of time if the teacher thinks that everyone should quit the class if they dont naturally understand something. Im in the class to learn, not for the teacher to tell me there is an imaginary bar that I will never reach even after working hard and studying.

This movie should be called "The Groomer" I had a professor try this on me in grad school. Not in front of a classroom, but multiple times in front of other grad students. It was the early nineties and I reported him and was told nothing vould be done about it because he was full professor and brought a lot of money into the university. Turned out he had had many affairs with students, another he had treated as he did me had reported him, but they "could not do snything about it because he was too powerful " Yes things were quite different, not that long ago.
Yes.
The GOOD OL days.
When men didn't need to concern themselves with foolish accusations from bitter chicks!!!
So, “grooming” adult women? It is of course an ethical problem, but not a legal one. I’m sorry that happened to you. Grooming refers to adult efforts to gain access to underage victims.
Actually from what I've heard things are wayyyy worse nowadays its the fellow student males who are ""sport stars" making $$ for that college are not being held responsible for their crimes against females. Just straight up slap on the hand..... no consequences..... women, young ladies got together found what to do about it..... that was a good Documentary... im sorry I forgot what it is called 😢id Google it for you, but not good at phone!! I'd lose this thread.. BTW I'm sorry you had an older teacher use their position for their own personal...... it was against the rules & did it anyway. God will judge them in the end the good win.
I'm sorry you went through this,really.I would just like to share,the two universities I've attended were pure garbage. bad learning environments.unreliable instructors. they stole my government funds .they called it administrative Authority.I did much better in simple neighborhood community colleges.
this guy is just a talking garbage can and a cheap suit
So if you're not inherently the best at something, you shouldn't even bother? Great message. Worst teacher ever.
Worst Show-writers ever xD they thought about this teacher, convertet it to a script and still went it xD
That was his mindset throughout the whole movie. It cost him all his money to realize you can be broke and also a free man. The all or nothing mentality was flawed, and he finally saw that.
Yet we tell OURSELVES this all the time and fail to realize our dreams because of it. Our thoughts are like this classroom. Exploring ourselves can help us become aware of the ruler which determines our life outcome. Switch the ruler, become the best version of yourself.
Everyone is inherently good at something. It’s just a matter of finding what you’re good at, honing in on it, and pursuing/mastering that gift.
@@kissame104 Exactly. I love this quote: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
The worst thing that ever happened to me was an educator acknowledging my intelligence. It put more pressure on me than I knew how to handle at that age
I remember working my @ss off on the 1st project i lead, was also the biggest of biggest my life, I WAS SO HAPPY during a lot crafting and then when the presentation was finnished the best i got was "i expected more from you" by the teacher lol. That's what you get when you build fame as a smart guy. I worried about my grade but i was still happy with my performance what bothered me was that i didnt lead my partners well and they act unpredictably leading big mistakes.
But this helped fill many moments of self doubt later "guess my best is still trash", "if i fail i'll be looked down upon as a fraud".
Fuckin typo, sorry i cant edit
Couldn't agree more. I don't know how or why I tested in the 99th percentile nationwide as a kid... I wasn't being taught anything at home, I spent my days watching cartoons, riding my bike and playing with Legos and hot wheels. Ever since that damned psychologist placed me in the gifted program in 3rd grade, everyone expected me to be some sort of genius. I just liked watching Batman and Superman and playing with my Legos... School was just easy for me, doesn't mean I enjoyed it or even wanted to excel at it. All the added pressure made me not want to even try at anything. I thought it was better that people believed me to be an intelligent underachiever rather than actually try as hard as I could and failing to accomplish anything... Lol. Growing up I always felt afraid of being exposed for not being as smart as everyone said I was, that really held me back in life because I was always afraid to take chances or to compete in certain spaces for fear of being exposed as a fraud since everyone around me made intelligence my whole identity... I was always "the smart kid" in every circle. Even among all the gifted students at the summer enrichment camp we were invited to by the state, I was "the smart kid." I could never live up to it.

Imagine a professor doing this in front of an entire class. Talk about bad teaching.
I disagree some kids are gifted and it should be completely celebrated
Bad teaching is when everyone gets a trophy and everyone is a winner. Um No. If you loose you get up dust yourself off and try again.
@gateneller9465 Yes, in private. On their own. Not in front of the other class where doing so will undermine the confidence of most of the rest of his class. It put her on the spot and potentially made her a target for jealous rivals. Also, none of what they said makes any sense. Teachers aren't looking for geniuses they're trying to teach a topic to people who aren't geniuses. If you tell someone they need to be a genius to succeed at something, then if they aren't, you have basically told them that they have no chance at it. Except most of the time, that isn't true. Usually, the people who are naturally good at something end up doing worse in the long run than someone who was bad and had to get good through hard work. So, by doing what this professor did, he alienated his entire class and insulted the student who had been participating the most despite the fact that he should be rewarding class engagement, and he made it very clear to everyone who his favorite is. All of which could have been avoided by having him do this in private after class.
@patrickthomas1048 Bad teaching is telling your entire class that they are wasting their time and money on being here because one student who was clearly trying not to be noticed by others is actually miles better better them so they might as well quit. He could have talked to her in private, and he wouldn't have made any of his other students feel inadequate for literally no reason.

Mark playing a college professor is the biggest joke on professors.

I never met any "university" i.e. college "professor" i.e. instructor who behaved this way. I don't understand why he is so interested in her alleged ability and her behavior. If his judgment is correct, and she is gifted, to understand his question would require understanding reincarnation of the human spirit and karma. "If you are not a genius, don't bother" shows he doesn't understand human consciousness as exertion of individuality. Hollywood disinformation.

When you grow up hearing people tell you how perfect /beautiful/smart /etc. you are, you grow up always wondering when you will fall. Natural talent is a bonus IF it falls within your natural field of interest AND you"re willing to work your butt off to be the best in that field. Anything less and you are just "wasting your talent". Hard work is the key to achieving greatness.

Ironically that's kind of the point he expresses later in the movie.

Talent is nothing without purpose and dedication. There is something to be said about human power of will. To be able to push yourself and achieve greatness. Yes, you may need an aptitude but talent doesn't keep you going when you're hurt, scared, tired or alone.
True. Some of the people with the highest IQ's in recorded history never amounted to anything. No fame, no innovation, no great success. Genius is nothing without passion and dedication.
I’ve always heard the saying ‘There is but a fine line between genius and madness’. Not sure if that is the exact quote, but close if not exact.
That's not true study Lenny Bruce ...he was fearless but scared shitless
Lenny Bruce
A huge obstacle to genius people specially if they have artistic talent is to balance their own emotions. Everything in life screams to them… beautiful things are brighter, colorful, happier…on the other hand the bad stuff hurts more, the pain is excruciating, heaven and hell are f. real. I would add to purpose and dedication 👉🏼EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. Nobody teaches that at schools, neither at home. Help yourself or a high IQ friend with a book about managing emotions. Wish you the best! ❤️

This scene takes me back to a moment long ago in High School when my, normally observant yet quiet self- chose to speak up and challenge the substitute Teachers conclusion at the end of his story. "...and this is the only way that could have happened, therefore they ARE the guilty party!" So I spoke up and asked him "Why is that the only way it could have happened?" He is visibly annoyed and returns said challenge with a very loud "Well why don't you enlighten us with how else it could POSSIBLY have happened!?!" I am shy but I give him three quick examples, the room is silent so I add "and that's just off the top of my head, i can come up with more if you give me a minute." He glares at me, turns his back on the Class, crosses his arms and starts furiously tapping his mouth. I fear his angered wrath while a few Kids make those "ohh you did it now" noises- I am terrified. He suddenly whirls around, points at me and says "YOU! If you don't go to College, what a waste, WHAT A WASTE!!!" He continues on while I am frozen in embarrassment. Then all the whispering comments began to swirl around me, "brown nose!" "Teachers pet!" "know it all!" "smarty pants" I heard the compliment yet I felt about 2" tall! I silently vow to keep my big mouth shut. Good times! ❤

She's the quietest because real G's move in silence
In my experience, the quiet person REALLY doesn't want you to acknowledge them in front of the rest of the class. I had something similar happen in a math class in high school (Not being told I was a genius, but the teacher bringing up my test scores and such).
In my Freshmen year, a new book in the Wheel of Time series came out (Path of Daggers), and I did a re-read of the first seven books of the series and then started on book eight. I did most of my reading in school, sometimes before class in the hallway, sometimes at lunch, but often in my classes when I was already done with what needed to be done with the class. A few weeks into the semester, maybe even mid-term, not sure, we got the grades back from a test in my geometry class, which was the third test we'd had so far, and I apparently had the only good grade in the class. I had somewhere between a 98-100 on the test, while the rest of the class had grades in the 70s and below. At the time, the teacher used to put the number of tests with each grade on the board, and I was consistently the only "A". He never put names up there, just like, A = 1, B = 3, C = 12, D = 7, F = 3 or something for 26 students (I don't remember the exact number of students, but it was 20+ students for one teacher). My classmates always used to complain because "someone" messed up the curve, and if "they" hadn't gotten an A, the teacher would have had to grade give out bonus points or something. I don't know if that was a real thing or not, but that is what everyone believed in school!
Anyway, after giving our tests back, he put the numbers on the board, and there was 1 "A", and every other person had a "D" or an "F" (At that time, a 70-78 was a D, and everything below that was an F.) The teacher then proceeded to go into a rant about how nobody was trying and all that, and then he pointed me out telling everyone that I spend half the class "reading novels" and was still the only one who got a good grade. Needless to say, I really didn't like being singled out like that, because now everyone knew that I was the one throwing off their curve! Not just that, you can't just shame people into being better at math...
similar situations are why I all but gave up on school for a few years, was technically a freshman in HS for 3 years, because i never did any work just so I A) wouldn't get spotlighted and B) wouldn't have everyone hating me
Sounds like the math "teacher" I had in tech school. She couldn't do the job. Did a HORRIBLE job, and she didn't understand a lot of it. Especially didn't know how to read measuring tools correctly. The class behind me was finally able to get her fired.
you mean playing how a Professor should be rather than some piece of excrement pushing personal agendas down the throats of people there to learn not be indoctrinated meanwhile the working man and woman have to carry your kind of "educated" yet u cant turn a spanner twits a screw lift a wheel change a wheel etc South Park its a level of perception on society that is a literal Crystal Ball for the future of how dumbshit ideas pan out! edit id fix typos but then you would have no comeback!
@Iowagrown123 - To be fair to my teacher, he was actually a student at a nearby university working on his Master's in Education. We were his first class, so he felt pressure to succeed. He just had no real business in the classroom at the time. I hope it worked out for him in the end. I believe we had a total of three people pass that class, and I was the only one who had a decent grade. I knew other kids who were in the same class with a different teacher who didn't do ANYTHING and still had higher grades than most of the ones with my teacher. Hard to tell which teachers were better, though, because some of the ones who had good grades with other teachers were dumb as rocks and should never have graduated when they did. Some teachers just want to get through the semester and pass the kids off to the next guy or girl. Finding a happy medium between being too laissez-faire (not in an economic sense) and too demanding is extremely hard, but it's what is required to be a great teacher.
Ive thrown the curve in one or two classes before but I did the opposite. I laughed at everyone and told them they are idiots. I was a maniac in high school. People didnt know if I was gonna throw the curve in the class and fail everyone or tell the teacher to fuck off and throw a chair.

@cyryl3827 What date? She just tagged along while he spent all his mother's money.
But yeah, all that was after the fact, once she basically hounded him to take her out. You have to look at the character in question. He literally didn't care about anything, including life or death. He was basically gambling his life away.
At some point he just sort of rolled with it I guess. He doesn't strike me as a person who really thinks too much about what he's doing, but to his credit he did try to reject her more than once.
Also worth mentioning that they are both grown ass adults & can do what they want. When taking the character into account, he really doesn't care much bout the ethics of screwing around with a student lol. It's just a movie man, maybe don't take it so seriously.
For those who wanted actual advice here, the answer is Passion.
Intellect and skill can get you far, but if you don't have the drive to be the best that you can be and then more, you'll never truly be the best. Look at Muhammed Ali or Mike Tyson, they lived and breathed Boxing. It was their passion and for Mike, probably still is.
Look at Keanu Reeves. Constantly in interviews he talks about how much he loves movies and action and storytelling, and because of that hes considered one of the greatest actors ever.
Edit: Alright fine, for the people judging my taste in actors and what I enjoy, feel free to insert Willem Dafoe. If I see anyone slandering Willem Dafoe, I will find you.
Its Passion. The answer to why someone would be better in that scenario is because they are passionate for the topic.
Hahaha I will be the first comment :). Great comment, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Seriously, Keanu Reeves? He is objectively, a terrible actor. Like literally, he can't ACT. He become a movie star mostly because of his good looks. He will literally never get an acting award nomination for anything other than a Razzie. What a God awful example.
I cannot give this comment enough thumbs up. I keep trying to tell people it's passion and drive above all. Our current college situation is insane because everyone was told to go to college even if they didn't have passion or drive to do anything beyond.
@@smurphftw2008 That's, like, your opinion man. Who would you have said? Don't just tell him he's wrong, give him a new example.
i'm sorry but nobody considers keanu reeves "one of the greatest actors ever" LMAO
You can tell she's a genius and he isn't, because he says she's better than everyone and should start acting like it. You go around acting like, you go around becoming a target of everyone's jealousy. You keep quiet, you just get to keep going on as a genius.
Even the music couldn't save this scene. 😂
It's a fantasy: that those who felt themselves overlooked are secretly unrecognised geniuses. That is not the case. Get out of your shell and work hard, and make something of yourself. Don't wait for that one person to come along and recognise your worth, because you ain't worth anything until you actually go out and try, hard as it is.
While it's a generalised fantasy, I agree, it ends up happening a lot. Many gifted people didn't know they were gifted until someone else paid attention.
Gotta agree with daniel, you can work your ass off 99.9% and still go unnoticed... until that one person starts seeing what you are natural or passionate at or even that you are "gifted". Sometimes it takes a person to see the beauty or darkness that you've kept well hidden and the rest of the world has overlooked.
Why? Who cares?
Except writing specifically isnt about getting out of your shell or putting it all on the line. It's just quiet observation
This is very true. I took a university postgraduate IT class and we each had to write a paragraph about ourselves on day one. A guy from Switzerland wrote a long-winded essay about how he is actually a genius but everyone at school thought he was stupid and he was really an unrecognised genius all along. I felt so embarrassed for him because I've heard so many men say that about themselves, and yet they don't understand that the probability of so many geniuses being in one place is so unlikely.
In reality, this would make multiple people extremely uncomfortable and report this teacher to the dean for specific targeting of students and revealing personal information and details they did not consent to share
A compliment, yet, highly awkward for 'the genius' ...repercussions from classmates ...
@@tinadavy3990 exactly. It’s what the kids would call “glazing”, and not only that, these are personal details the student does NOT want strangers to know about them. You don’t know everyone in that class. You have no idea if they are crazy or what.

I was IQ tested after my concussions. I’m in the 98th percentile for language. NOBODY did this shit to me in university 😆 Only in the movies
I've been to school, I've been to university. This is EXACTLY how teachers and students are in class & lectures EXACTLY.

this goes to show watch for the quiet ones they are the smartest ones

There's always someone better than you at something.

Who the hell let wahlberg play a teacher. Probably his most unbelievable role
He played a teacher in The Happening which only reinforces your point 😅
He can teach you how to wear your underwear wrong.

I thought he was talking about Dexter Morgan for a second
Mark playing a professor, ive seen it all 😆
My senior HS English teacher pushed me really hard. We had a paper worth a 1/3 of the grade. We were constantly revising it with his feedback. We had to think of the intended audience and keep it as concise as possible. We wrote the initial one and he had us scale it back to a bare bones skeleton form and build off of that. It was stressful because I had to pass that class to graduate. I was never pushed that hard before. I even got a C in AP Calculus because I'd be doing my paper in there. He really did bring up my skills, and that did help me in my career.
In ur career in science?
You need to read to write well and write to write well as well.

And now you’re being replaced by chatGPT
@@fredlebhart1393 Yet I'm still sitting here. Do hope AI project just falls apart tomorrow. Just maybe not like in the Terminator.
Does she have one of those contracts like the rock where every role she's in she has to be beloved by everyone around her? Like he's literally sitting there "omg she's literally the best ever, she'll never fail"
"Don't make me act, and pretend I'm a strong independent capable wo-man"
Yes she does. It's called being a woman.
Sounds like it.
bc she's smart in real life, annoyingly smart to some people, intellectuals are annoying, they tend to not fun to others who are not like them, so when she auditions they cast her in the smart roles
Way to show us you've never actually seen any of her films
Based on his logic, he shouldn’t have bothered to study and teach.
In case no one bothers telling the actual reason she's better at writing than he is at tines. I'll go ahead and say it here.
The person who studies a subject but doesn't stand out in anything else spends more time on that subject than the person who masters a subject yet spends time partying, looking for girls or boys or enjoying their victories.
He studied the game. He spent his time reaching the highest level and stopped. After that he spent maybe 5% of the entire time he is awake during a month on the game.
The quiet person who studies their chosen field. That person, if they don't stand out publicly tends to spend as much of their waking time on that subject as they can. They go beyond simply mastering that field.
In ancient Greece, the athletes would be declared gods. This is because these people studied their chosen profession quietly until it was time to demonstrate it during the Olympics. There is a masturbation meme about someone with a giant arm and a normal arm on the other side. This is actually a thing the athletes who threw discusses or the javelins in ancient Greece experienced because they had arms like that. They've dug up their graves and examine their bodies and the arm they used to throw whatever it is they were throwing was a third larger than their other arm. This is how much time they spent on their sport.
I once saw a blacksmith working on a ranch who picked up a 600 pound anvil by its horn and walk across the room with it and set it down on a pedestal like it was a gallon jug of milk.
There's also many RUclips videos of a Slavic power lifter, who goes into a gym, dressed as a janitor and trolls the giant guys. He's telling them they're lifting fake weights. He's like 5 foot nothing and looks to he is barely above a stick figure. He walks up to 8 or 900 pound weights. Lifts them like there nothing. Just so he can troll those giant power lifters that they're lifting fake weights.😂

Mark whalberg is just himself in every single movie.
He's not wrong at all. Although geniuses can be cultivated and aren't necessarily always natural occurances, they are fundamentally at a level above their peers. And it mostly has to do with time. They gain an understanding and ability early on that allows them to be prodigious in their field.
Anyone gaining that degree of understanding any later is already at a huge disadvantage, and the understanding itself is already rare enough.
The only way to "catch up" is as the old saying goes (which I'll paraphrase horribly) "hardwork is better than talent when talent fails to work hard."
I don't think this entirely captures the picture. For example, what you call "cultivated geniuses" still tend to be incredibly smart people from a very young age.
It's just that they haven't necessarily had good opportunities to demonstrate their abilities or failed often at "genius" level tests where they're evaluated on things at difficulties far beyond their current stage of development.
There are degrees to intelligence, but there is a threshold below which geniuses cannot be "cultivated" so to speak.
@@rishirajasekaran6055 There are certainly some people that lack the ability to become geniuses in general but some evidence has appeared that people can cultivate geniuses on purpose. And a lot of intelligence and genius is lost due to our lacking systems alongside the coddling society. It simply is what it is tbh
The message is wrong. No one becomes a writer at birth. It aways involves effort. If you don't try to improve you'll never become "a genius" at the first place.
@@ImperativeGames No one becomes any sort of intellectual genius at birth unless it's a birth defect. Genius isn't a genetic based predisposition, it's a pattern of thought, understanding, and efficiency relative to the general states of those categories. Someone who can do multi-step algebraic equations in their head is considered smart; someone who can calculate single step multiplication equations between six digit numbers in their head at the speed equal to or quicker than a calculator is considered a genius. The difference is found in quality and efficiency.
@ziggerotstask6287 I see the issue with your argument. You have confused genius with smart.
Smart people can be nutured intellectual to seem near genius.
True genius doesn't need to be nutured. There is a natural extreme talent that trumps the smart person with a nurturing environment. Very few will ever be a true genius.
The quietest student in the room is gifted❤
Phillips: I'm a peacock, Captain! you gotta let me fly on this one!
What people are looking for is a documentary called ‘In search of greatness’ that about sums up perfectly what sets perceived genius from the rest. The two qualities you have to posses is what the experts in said documentary called ‘A rage to master’ (as in not a desire to master something but a RAGE) and an ‘ability to learn’ (as in quickly pick up the concept of what you’re trying to be good at i.e piano).
I got the rage part, unfortunate about that second thing...
@@Max_Griswald you don't need it to do well, just be the absolute best
Thank you
After your IQ is ~120 or more, social class has more influence on success. Several large studies have been done on this.
It means that a fair few people who should be brilliant surgeons, scientists, artists, cousellors etc are working shifts to have a normal existence.
I like to think everyone has moments of genius, some people just have more of them.
That's why if we have people in our families or good friends that are held back from achieving such things, we should do what we can to support them. Put them up in your house. Cook them dinner. Whatever you can. It's the surest way to make a difference in not just one life, but every life that person goes on to touch.
The most accurate comment on this thread.
Everybody admires the genius yet studies show that praising hard work over natural talent is better for our mindset throughout our lives, movable mindset, rather than a fixed mindset
I think of growing up in Boomer Catholicism, the era when kids were taught to become petrified of God. And it stuck with many, that visceral fear of doing one wrong thing and being cast into hell. To "be good enough" haunted me most my life, and to say I'm sorry for a sin was never enough. I thank the good nuns for teaching me about Jesus, He has stuck with me...but the nuns only taught us what they knew. I fear my life review, too late to undo the wrongs.
Every genius studies more.
Every pro athlete plays more.
Every musician practices more.
Every prodigy is a person who does one thing more than anyone else. If you train well for an extra 10,000 hours you'll get as good as them.
somewhat true. Then you have the genius who is more efficient at time use.
There are savants. My autistic brother doesn't practice anything and barely talks, but can do math in his head that nobody can do
It's talent + effort. If you only have one it will take you only so far. Most people have some amount of both.
I was considered a genius. I read at two as well, highest IQ in my district, intuitively knew how to play instruments before I ever touched them, etc. I never worked at things or practiced at all. All of the things I do well or can figure out intuitively were just, like, already in there somehow.
@@pooki903 I checked most these boxes off as well.
I can never see Mark Walberg as any sort of teacher. 😅
This is what teaching and motivating is all about. If you want to be a teacher, do this.
Though I think I would have worded it differently, as a college professor, he has a point.
In normal school they tell you that you can be anything, because as an unmolded student you have a huge range of possibilities, but not actually “anything”. Truth is though, everyone is good at something. School has two purposes
1) Help you realize and fulfill your natural talents
2) Help to supplement the things that aren’t your natural talents so you can be proficient
If you’ve made it to college and no teacher has helped you realize what your natural talent is, or you haven’t realized yourself that there is an area of study you are naturally talented in, then the education system failed you.
only in fictional movie will Bri Larson hear that she is a genius and a artist 😂
Why's everyone hating on herr?
Yeah, I don't get it. Why the hate for her? I enjoy her movies.
Not true. All of Hollywood says it.
Edit: to answer the people asking why people hate her, she has publicly said anyone who doesn't like her movies is just a 38 year old white man who the movie wasn't meant for.
She can make movies for different audiences, but when you specifically call out a demographic and say "I don't want you watching my movies"... well, be careful what you wish for.
@@deborawagner7657 because she hated on male marvel fans and said dumb shit. She also just not that great of a actress.
an artist needs art. Whether it is her acting skills or the screenplay. There is no harmony.
I love Mark Walbergh, but him playing a genius was just not something I bought. lol I liked the movie, but that part of it was always weird for me. He has basically typecast himself throughout his career. Still love him!❤
If someone chooses to be quiet and not speak out, don’t pick them out in a room full of their peers.
Any teacher watching this, please know that public praise can be as damaging as public criticism.
Stop casting him as a professor... It doesn't work...
They keep doing it, I don't get it.
"Why are you better than the rest of us?"
"Because, Brie Larson won't take a movie if she isn't" lol
Je zou ook iets onder de achterste cushions kunnen zetten. Hele mooi kussens ❤
This movie captures so well what overwhelming debt feels like on an emotional level. Mainly the smothering and constant fear that you'll lose it all. and in some ways it is what helped me get through a really hard time financially
Mark Wahlberg as an academic. I was OK with a black mermaid and female ghostbusters, but come on...this is artistic license gone too far. :)
😂😂😂😂😂
Fun fact in his youth Mark Wahlberg commited several racially charged hate crimes
Why is the idea of a black mermaid strange to you? Never played DnD? MTG? Are Tolkien and Brothers Grimm your only source for the fantastic?
Just asking, since I also avoid the Fantasy genre since it's predominantly white and every magical race is a parallel of real world ethnicities and religions.
@@thatbluepowder The Little Mermaid... Disney remade it a few years ago in real action with a black actress
@@amazinness4131You didn't read my comment. I asked why it was weird for a mermaid to be black.
In fact, why is a mermaid white, to begin with? Why is that the default assumption? There are Chinese mermaids in Chinese folklore and various water spirits all over different continents. Some aren't fish based, but Walrus based mermaids and sirens. They wear a walrus skin and remove it to switch between forms. I think these are North American based. North American as in Native American.
Movie name: The Shawshank Redemption
no
Mark Wahlberg playing an intelligent teacher is like conor mcgregor playing van gogh
These vids are so good
I was shamed in childhood for being the quietest child in school. And i have been a genius all my life but i am only discovering it now.that pain still with me. Why does everyone need talking some of us are happy with ourselves silent
Imagine reading a script you thought was great, signed onto the film, and then found out Mark Walhberg was cast as the professor
What's wrong with him
Marky Mark got that Dirk Diggler vibe back again with this hairdo!
Of course they cast Brie Larson as the girl who just gets the praise for being naturally good
World class acting from bri
She stays quiet because Brie Larson knows that nobody likes her.
BUT.. As someone said before, you don’t have to be a genius at something, if you are a genius of hard work it will show! Basically that attitude and determination are way better than just being a genius 💯😎
Nah man, I wouldn't trust this man. what sane person expresses himself this dramatically
😂😂 right believable casting. Markie mark as a professor and Brie Larson is a genius 😂😂😂😂
Would have kinda worked the other way round I think. Just has to lose his accent lol
Honestly kinda embarassing at this point that she always takes roles where she is massively better morally, physically and mentally than anyone else in the show lololol.
