Prodigy at age 9 - perhaps a lesson we can all learn

It isn't everyday you hear about a 9 year-old attending college. Tanishq Abraham is so young, but yet contemplates about particle physics, the fate of the universe and enjoys computer programming. It's simply incredible to see someone so young advance so far, but is there a lesson waiting to be learned from Tanishq? No doubt, learning such advanced concepts at such a tender age requires more than just hard-work, this child is gifted. However, what makes him so inspiring is that he enjoys learning. The many textbooks University students like myself possibly find boring or tedious to comprehend are treasures to him. Perhaps, just maybe, this child's greatest gift (and for the many others out there) is not his mind, but his desire to learn to propel the world of tomorrow.
