The boy who knew too much: a child prodigy

This is the true story of scientific child prodigy, and former baby genius, Ainan Celeste Cawley, written by his father. It is the true story, too, of his gifted brothers and of all the Cawley family. I write also of child prodigy and genius in general: what it is, and how it is so often neglected in the modern world. As a society, we so often fail those we should most hope to see succeed: our gifted children and the gifted adults they become. Site Copyright: Valentine Cawley, 2006 +

Babelfish: page translation for you.

Scientific child prodigy is attracting many readers from non-English speaking countries. In the light of this I have added a translation engine to the page. Although, it will give a general sense of what I am writing, the translation will not be such as to render the meaning, exactly, if my trials are anything to go by. However, it may allow you to come to some understanding of the page, if English is not your strong point.

Please feel free to comment about your experiences with the translation engine. Is it useful? Should I keep the feature? Is the quality high enough to allow you to gather the basic meaning?

I would welcome your thoughts.

Meanwhile, wherever you come from, I hope you enjoy the blog. There is much to read - so happy reading!

Valentine Cawley said...: Yes, you are right. It is primarily concerned with European languages, unfortunately. It should really translate Malay however since if you add up all the people who speak it, you get about 300 million - about 5% of the world's people. That is a major language, therefore.

Maybe they will translate it one day.

Best wishes; 7:39 AM

As a child, I had many gifts...perhaps too many - and this leads to the characteristic problem many gifted children face: what to do, when there is so much you COULD do. I resolved the issue by doing each of them serially throughout my life. I had gifts in science, writing, art, music, acting and academia...and so my life has demonstrated each of these, at some time. However, in the modern world, those who specialize, and focus all their efforts on one thing, tend to win through. In the light of this I have written two books, which are being prepared for publication. I was a child in a time when being gifted was not something people spoke about: it was not a widely recognized situation - at least not in my background. Nothing special was done therefore, to help. It is my wish that all in that position, these days, receive the support that is needed, to become the best they can be. I have been an actor, a writer of two books, a government physicist, at age 17, the founding editor of an Arts magazine, at 22, and a performance artist whose work was covered by CNN (interviewer: Richard Blystone) and Reuters. However, my greatest achievement is to have fathered three sons.
