THE FRUITS JUSTIFY THE BLOOSOMY TREE
The parents should concentrate their energies on helping their child achieve his objective.
We pray that the end justifies the glory of the beginning.

Something is not right. Atitsogbui is a pure Ewe surname. When did Atitsogbui has become a Fante name?

Does a married woman take her husband name or vice versa? Atitsogbui must be her husband's name.

The mother is from Aburi and the father half from Volta. What is wrong with this tribal sentiments and nonsense. He is not even a Ghanaian. He is an American. Let him get to Ghana immigration and if he is not recognized as the science kid they will teach him a lesson because he bears a foreign passport and was born there. You Ghanaian are good in enjoying sweet roses. Nonsense

Surely a Ghanaian by root but born American however it is gratifying to know that he is a Ghanaian by genealogy.
One good thing about the civilised world is that when they spot a person with a potential they make all resources available to support them to be able to tap into their abilities and capabilities for national development. Not only that they start grooming them with the necessary tools and resources to tap into their potentialities for future maximum efficiency and use practically.
All we know in our part of the world is big names of education- PhD, Doctor, Professor etc with very or nothing to offer practically.
Our level of education and expertise should be relative to realities on the ground empirically not theoretical.
Has John Mahama got PhD, Doctorate etc? No but he is working hard practically to deliver yet still even promising more for our country notwithstanding his destructors. Those cultures which do not know what is constructive criticism but rather out there to destroy for their own selfish interests.
We need thinkers outside the box for transformation in
terms of practicality in moving forward to success and progress and prosperity our dear nation Ghana.
These are accolades that can propel us as a country to heights.
We have many children in Ghana like Sean Atistigbe but we don’t even have those eyes to spot and notice them left alone have the expertise and resources to groom them for use for the betterment of our country.
All these failures are stirring us in the face because of our primitive MINDSET only interested in big names but not what those big names offer and solve problems practically.
In this comment the key WORDS are: is about to how to solve problems practically.

[SIMPLY] BEING BRIGHT DOES NOT GUARANTEE LIFELONG SUCCESS OR HAPPINESS. Gifted children may struggle if they don't develop a strong work ethic, struggle with managing expectations, or face environmental challenges like lack of support.
FACTORS FOR SUCCESS:
1.Strong work ethic: Children who are praised for their effort rather than their "smartness" are more likely to develop perseverance, which is crucial for adult success.
2. Adaptability and problem-solving: Bright children need to learn how to navigate life's challenges, which are often ambiguous and require more than just intellect.
3. Supportive environment: Mentorship, appropriate resources, and a challenging academic environment can help gifted children reach their full potential.
4. Realistic expectations: Gifted individuals must manage the pressure to always be extraordinary and avoid the pitfalls of perfectionism and a diminished sense of identity.

REASONS FOR UNDERACHIEVEMENT:
1.Over-reliance on natural intelligence: When tasks come easily in childhood, gifted children may not develop the necessary study habits and work ethic for later challenges.
2.Fear of failure: Praising innate ability can create a fear of not living up to the "smart" label, leading to avoidance and procrastination.
3.Lack of direction: Intelligence is a tool, but it needs guidance, consistent effort, and systems to be effective in the complex, unstructured adult world.
4.Social and emotional challenges: Asynchronous development can lead to social difficulties, and a lack of emotional maturity can hinder relationships and overall well-being.
