Two techie brothers, aged 14 and 12, code their way to App Store

[Flash]

Just to quote, as an example:

Paul (Steve Jobs dad) showed Steve how to work on electronics in the family garage, demonstrating to his son how to take apart and rebuild electronics such as radios and televisions. As a result, he became interested in and developed a hobby of technical tinkering.

Cool story bro

Every kid can be awesome, all they need is a good supportive dad

support is important. but it has nothing to do itself. a support + kids' mind is what made difference here. If there is no support, the could not have made these. even if they have support, what if kids like to play instead of doing programming? both depends. relative to one another just my theory

 

[cyborg47]

Sure, I obviously didn't mean that the kids suck and only their dad has made them awesome
Like I said, every kid is brilliant, all they need is good support from the parents, at least in the early age.

 

[rijinpk1]

yup

bad.. kids should play, go out socialize, learn to talk them girls and not grow up as nerds like I did...
play a sport, enroll gym at 16, learn life skills instead of wasting all time developing useless apps or preparing for JEE 16 hrs a day!

buddy I have one statement for your judgment : IT'S BETTER TO CRY IN A "Mercedes-Benz S-class" THAN IN AN "i10".

agree with cyborg.

Just look at the RICHEST & famous PROGRAMMERS(e.g. Bill Gates,Mark) they started when they were kids. Innovation = disruption of existing process inorder to do that one need to exploit the existing system to do that one has to know the system like it's part of life.

The people in the example I provided have one thing common with these kids they both were provided a PC when they were kids + some one near/dear family was initial teacher+mentor.

Not undermining their effort or achievement still you need to have creativity + programming skills.

every one has talent..its upto the kids's parents/guardian to enhance it
If rafael Nadal hadn't got support from his uncle toni or Federer from his parents or Murray from his mom, They wouldn't be where they are now.

quoting exceptions like bill gates proves nothing! get a hobby and pursue your passions while in college.. and hard work gets you success.
of my friends who prepared for IIT exams.. can be clearly split into categories..
the nerds, with no all round development, ended up in US studying phd, masters.
the guys who played sports even in 12th, had amazing communication skills, very good knowledge of outside world.. got jobs in asia and india in the investment banks.. which the nerds failed to.

and finally, from my own life experience, all that success and money won't help when you get sh1t nervous to go up to a beautiful lady and ask her! you can't stand properly or look into her eyes..and she would rather date an ass.hole than you.. am pretty sure you see this in college already

Nope. Dumb people are dumb. Period. You can't raise a person's IQ just by providing him resources. That's the cold, harsh fact.

Your argument would be better accepted had you said that some talented people don't reach their potential due to lack of resources. But no, everyone can't be an Einstein.

okay...

 

[avinandan012]

@a_k_s_h_a_y sad to tell you but these hot beauties dates those ass.hole(s) but marries the nerd

okay...

you can't create talent in someone but you can definitely train them to achieve certain skills

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

from where do you get all this information, that they marry the computer nerds who game all day, they don't.. you must be a successful rich nerd, still they have plenty of other rich businessmen, politicians or inherited rich guys as for choice.

Agreed, not everyone is destined for greatness. But you can't know whether you destined for it or not unless you try hard. No harm in trying.

+1 Overall personality development is necessary.
How can one think marrying a hottie is better than having fun with a LOT of them? If you've got personality and resources you can do both. If you've got only money there's no guarantee you'll get a hot girl and even then she might be attracted to only your money. But if you've got personality and skills, YOU are the value, not your possessions.

^^^ My thoughts exactly...!
lets not discuss that in detail.... you know the nerds will rage out in disbelief! only moar money ftw
