The boy is Nikon Jevtic. He's from Serbia and only 10 and supposed to be the miracle child of football. Nikon Jevtic has signed a contract with the Spanish team Valencia! This still very young football player is considered as one of the biggest talents of his age in the whole world. Valencia isn’t the first big team in Europe where Nikon plays for. Before his move to Valencia he already played for Arsenal, VfB Stuttgart and Austria Wien.
Another quality of Nikon is the 3 languages he already knows at this young age, and that without going to school. The Jevtic family moved to Great-Britain in 1987 because of the war in Yugoslavia and it was in those times that his older sister, Milly, taught him English.
When Alex Ferguson (Manchester Utd) saw a movie of Nikon Jevtic he was very impressed, Nikon could already cope with crosses of 70 metres and he could bang in one corner after another without hitting something else but the nets!
After a while his father had to move to Germany for his work and so did the Jevtic family. Nikon joined VfB Stuttgart where he learned the German language, and later on he moved to the youth academy of Austria Wien. He played many many great matches, and even against the German (under 18) national team he managed to score 6 goals! Of course it didn’t take to long before the big clubs where knocking on the door. It’s said that Valencia paid a large sum for him, but the exact amount isn’t clear.
Also media interaction isn’t a big deal for Nikon, he already practised on his signature and he has the nickname 'El Maestro'. He also has a personal trainer, his 22 years old brother Nestor (who’s an excellent football player himself) and a manager.
In February last, Akrit Jaswal, the miracle kid appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show. Akrit is a child prodigy who has been termed a genius right after his birth in 1993. When Oprah asked if he could understand Shakespeare at the mere age of four he answered, "I could understand it. That's why I was reading it".
Years ago, footage emerged from a remote village in India. The video shows a young girl receiving surgery to separate her fingers, which were badly burned and fused together. Why did this operation make headlines around the world? The surgery was performed by a 7-year-old boy named Akrit Jaswal; a teenager from Himachal Pradesh, India .
Now 13 years old, Akrit has an IQ of 146 and is considered the smartest person his age in Indi; a country of more than a billion people. This is an IQ level that beats even that of Albert Einstein. Before Akrit could even speak, his parents say they knew he was special.
"He learned very fast," says Raksha, Akrit's mother. "After learning the alphabet, we started to teach him joining of words, and he started writing as well. He was two." While in class II he cleared exams meant for class V. His mother realized he was special when he would answer graduate level questions.
At an age when most children are learning their ABCs, Akrit was reading Shakespeare and assembling a library of medical textbooks. When he was 5 years old, he enrolled in school. One year later, Akrit was teaching English and math classes.
Akrit developed a passion for science and anatomy at an early age. Doctors at local hospitals took notice and started allowing him to observe surgeries when he was 6 years old. Inspired by what he saw, Akrit read everything he could on the topic. When an impoverished family heard about his amazing abilities, they asked if he would operate on their daughter for free. Her surgery was a success.
After the surgery, Akrit was hailed as a medical genius in India. Neighbors and strangers flocked to him for advice and treatment. At age 11, Akrit was admitted to Punjab University. He's the youngest student ever to attend an Indian university. That same year, he was also invited to London's famed Imperial College to exchange ideas with scientists on the cutting edge of medical research.
Akrit says he has millions of medical ideas, but he's currently focused on developing a cure for cancer. "I've developed a concept called oral gene therapy on the basis of my research and my theories," he says. "I'm quite dedicated towards working on this mechanism."
Growing up, Akrit says he used to see cancer patients lying on the side of the road because they couldn't afford treatment or hospitals had no space for them. Now, he wants to use his intellect to ease their suffering. "[I've been] going to hospitals since the age of 6, so I have seen first hand people suffering from pain," he says. "I get very sad, and so that's the main motive of my passion about medicine, my passion about cancer."
Currently, Akrit is working toward a bachelor's degrees in zoology, botany and chemistry. Someday, he hopes to continue his studies at Harvard University.
However, Akrit’s progress came at a price: frustrated with the perceived lack of support for his gifted son, Akrit’s father became depressed and left the family home some time back, telling him not to get in touch until Akrit had found a cure for cancer. Adored by his self-sacrificing mother and treated as a genius, Akrit has no doubt he will do this. Akrit does not come from a rich family.
Looking at this three and a half year old boy who has just entered the school, people wonder how come such a small brain could hold so much.
His capabilities are just amazing and unbelievable. The abilities of the tiny brain range from the chanting of Kanagadhara slogam, by-heart, to computer painting using the paint brush software.
R.V. Adith, son of R. Velmurugan and Meenakshi born on September 16, 1998 was just like any other ordinary child till he was 18 months old. His talents came to light when he was in the cradle itself.
What was initially dismissed off as something rattled or blabbered by a child attempting to speak was later found to be an effort by the child to chant the Kanagadhara slogam.
The baffled parents on introspection realised that the child had inherited the same from his mother who regularly chanted the slogam during pregnancy and even during the post-natal period.
Computer savvy.
The abilities of the boy in pre-KG at Pollachi seemed to be wide ranging. Not merely chanting of slogams it included identifying the flags of 189 countries and naming their capitals. At a function organised for felicitating the child, the boy was tested by the organisers who wanted to see if he was trained to identify only in a serial order. Perhaps the skill could be merely an exercise of memorising, they thought.
They shuffled the cards and grilled the child with questions. Flabbergast were the organisers when Adith proved his mettle by identifying the countries and the capital without taking any time to recollect.
In addition to this, he can tell you the names of all the sixty Tamil years by-heart besides identifying flowers and fruits, nearly 100 leaders both national and international besides historic places.
Like any other child, he has a fantasy for motor vehicles, but, he is one step ahead. He can identify and give you the exact brand of the latest cars. Anything known and seen once gets registered in his brain automatically. The child can identify and name the latest communication gadgets like cellular telephone, computer, teleprinter, fax and modem. Apart from his mother tongue, Tamil, he is able to understand and speak English. Kannada from those living on the premises, he has started learning Hindi from his mother. His desire for learning and knowing things seems to be unending, for chess is his latest favourite.
The child is invited to exhibit his distinctive talents at any function that is organised in the district. Chemistry can be an aversion for many, but it is yet another play for Adith. He is familiar with the equations and formulas for various metals besides its abbreviations.
Not merely going by talents, his parents took him for a test on his IQ in a leading hospital in Coimbatore. The doctors said that an IQ level of 120 was considered superior but the boy had an IQ level of nearly 189. The doctors conducted seguine form board test when the boy was just nearing three and said that though the physical age was only three, the boy's mental age was that of a four year old child. For the nomination sent by his parents, the Guinness Book of World Records and the Limca Book of Records have acknowledged to confirm the claim with the help of the research departments.
Welcome to my blog. Even though I still do not have children, I intend to have at least five of them. When I go to friends of mine and have the possibility to play with small kids, I am the happiest man on Earth in those moments. In this blog I will show you a lot of kids talk, sing and act like grown-ups, while there agers still scratch the noses in the kindergarten. All your comments are welcomed!
