I think it just comes down to the fact that we’re all different… both in our genetic make up (what we get from our parents) and in how we grew up… a child’s brain makes millions of connections in the first few years of life and then carries on learning at a phenomenal pace right up till the end of school… the more you try to learn the better you get at it.
Very very few people are good at everything though – and you can guarantee that what you find easy someone else will find hard and the other way around too…

Interesting! How is a genius’ brain different to another persons brain?

I’m not sure there’s an answer to that – but a lot of what makes an adult genius is practice.Someone estimated it take 10,000 hours of practice to become a world expert… for child genius like beethoven or mozart i really don’t know…
