I completely agree. Your comment should be required reading for every "gifted" child.

  Unfortunately, people don't learn that kind of thing from reading (or being told). Maybe we shouldn't delay the real world lessons of "there are plenty of people better than you, just in different ways" and "yeah you are great, you'll still have to earn it" until they grow up. In my view, that's another one of the failures of modern schools.
