I once met a woman in a homeless shelter and watched her as she pencil sketched a very detailed portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II as she looked on the day of her Coronation. She did this intricate portrait with her EYES CLOSED. She later told me that she never puts her signature on any of her portraits because she doesn't take credit for any of them. She told me; "They come from some other place."

I met Kim Peek twice. He remembered me the second time even though it had been a few years. He was a sweet, warm man with an amazing mind. His wonderful father’s sacrifice to be his full-time caretaker should be praised along with Kim’s memory!
@trailrider7046
The devotion of Kim Peeks' father to his son was so unconditional, selfless, and pure.

I don't know how someone can be humble and cocky but the piano kid has found a balance between both
@jodiepodie
I absolutely love how majority of these parents are just allowing their kids to grow their talents, at the kids request, they're not forcing them into it like you see on most gifted kids shows

Passion is key. Nobody can be a genius in something that bores them.

Kim Peek passed away in 2009 and his father passed in 2014. He was such a brilliant person.

The rain man is such a kind, lovable guy. He's awesome!

I looked up Kim Peek and was devastated to learn that he died in 2009 from a heart attack and his father Fran died in 2014. Breaks my heart knowing they were trying to plan for Fran’s death and Kim’s care but instead Fran had to bury his son who he had cared for all his life 😔 RIP Fran and Kim Peek

The mom of the first girl has a genuinely solid reason for her way of raising her child. Let them focus and harness their amazing talent to channel it towards something important in the future

I feel so bad for that little boy at 31:23 -- he felt like he failed everybody and almost broke down crying. His standards are so high he won't accept how brilliant he is even after exhaustion and tiredness sets in. I wish I could tell him how wonderful he really was.

The children may be geniuses but the parents are the real heroes for always supporting them and being there for them.

Loved the humility of Ben Pridmore who said 'really it's only since discovering this hobby of mine that I've excelled at anything I suppose'...good for you Ben !

The piano kid is really great. You can tell he is musical, he understands how to express himself and he cares about phrasing, the emotion he gives trough music more than the technical stuff. It is a stark contrast to the countless "musical genius" kids who are just very technically drilled since they were 3 years old but don't have any musical understanding of what they do. The pressure on him to perform must be unbearable, but I feel that he will be a successful artist one way or another.
@presleypeterson9769
One things about all these geniuses is they have supportive parents. A great gift.
@Alice_offwithyourhead
Rest in Peace, Kim Peek. You truly have a beautiful soul.

The world has never been short of geniuses, what is lacking is the eyes to discover geniuses. ❤

I can't quite seem to put my finger on it, but there is something about this video that says a lot about reality. Maybe there is a number of amazing phenomenons and discoveries that we just haven't realized yet. This gives me hope and excitement in a way. Thanks for sharing
