Chapter 86 86

The most wonderful ideas may come out of a child's head, and the most beautiful words can also come out of their lips, like a priceless diamond falling into his hands, but neither the idea nor the diamond belongs to him. At his age, nothing was really his own.The words spoken by children have different meanings from our ears.The words they understand are different from our concepts.If he is also considered to have concepts, his concepts have no order and no connection, and nothing is certain or definite in his thoughts.Examine your so-called gifted child, and you will find, from time to time, that his mind is extremely flexible, and that his thoughts are very clear.And more often, the same mind, dull and slow, seems to be shrouded in mist.Sometimes he walks with you, other times he stays where you are.Now you call him a genius, then you think he is a fool.You are all wrong, he is just a child, a young eagle that sometimes flies low and sometimes returns to the nest.
