I was a #gifted child (scoring high on the State standardized-tests, I got put into the 'special programs' intended to teach to the accelerated intellect I was perceived to possess).
Dr. Kanojia explains 'how "being gifted" was actually a disadvantage for us' in a vlog you can get to through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Gifted” is built on #Gift, built on ancient words that mean "to Give or Receive" (similar to words that mean "Poison" 😕).
