Incredible Human Talent & Skills

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish!

“Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it.”― Pope John Paul II

The most intelligent family in England and certainly in the world, is African and originally from Nigeria. They are in the Guinness Book of Records as the most intelligent family in England.

In the Imafidon family, there are twins Peter and Paula, who obtained the equivalent of high school at the age of 9 and became the youngest to attend the University of Cambridge, where they broke the record for mathematics at this university. In addition, both are national champions in sports disciplines.

The funny thing is that this record was brought before them by their older sister Cristina Imafidon, who had obtained high school at the age of 11 and at 14 was pursuing a master's degree in mathematics and statistics.

But this is not all, there is also sister Samantha Imafidon who was in 3rd grade at 8 years old. And who is the UK national 100m champion? Imafidon children break all records.

His father is a famous professor at Oxford University

N Xau, a local who played in the film “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” earned $300 in the first film. He was 36 years old when he first encountered money.

He didn’t know how to spend it. Coming from a culture that didn’t value material things, he didn’t have the skills to manage his income, although he used the money he earned to build his family a brick house with water and electricity.

He earned $80,000 in the second film, released in 1989. He quickly learned about money and capitalist life. With the fame that followed, he traveled all over the world and acted in other films.

He went to America, Paris, and Japan.

He became a figure used by the white man. He became addicted to alcohol and ci******es. His money ran out. After 1997, he returned to the Kalahari desert with his wife Kora, four daughters, and two sons.

He lived a modest life here with his tribe and family, farming until 2003. In July 2003, Xau left his house to collect firewood and didn’t return for three days. His family searched for him for days.

On the 4th day of the search, he was found dead in a field.

The police still have not announced the cause of Xau's death.
The leading actor of the movie that we watched and laughed at dozens of times actually had a sad story. In fact, it was not his fault.

The people of a geography where there was no material wealth and only a struggle for survival were introduced to the capitalist order, money and other pleasures, and perhaps the gods must have gone crazy.

John D. Rockfeller - Unwitting Stewardship:

John D. Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.

By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.

But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers.

An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.

As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realization of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.

He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller established his Foundation.
This new direction eventually led to the discovery of Penicillin, cures for Malaria, Tuberculosis and Diphtheria.

But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98.

Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.

Before his death, he wrote this in his diary…

“God taught me, that everything belongs to Him, and I am only a channel to comply His wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday thereafter; Full of work and full of play, I dropped the worry, on the way, and God was good to me every day.”

-John Davison Rockefeller, July 8, 1839 - May 23, 1937

In the 4th century BCE, women were not allowed to study medicine.

Because of this, a young woman named Agnodice cut her hair and entered Alexandria medical school dressed as a man.

While walking the streets of Athens after completing her medical education, she heard the cries of a woman in labour.

However, the woman did not want Agnodice to touch her although she was in severe pain, because she thought Agnodice was a man.

Agnodice proved that she was a woman by removing her clothes without anyone seeing and helped the woman deliver her baby.

The story would soon spread among the women and all the women who were sick began to go to Agnodice.

The male doctors grew envious and accused Agnodice, whom they thought was male, of seducing female patients.

At her trial, Agnodice, stood before the court and proved that she was a woman but this time, she was sentenced to death for studying medicine and practicing medicine as a woman.

Women revolted at the sentence, especially the wives of the judges who had given the death penalty.

Some said that if Agnodice was killed, they would go to their deaths with her.

Unable to withstand the pressures of their wives and other women, the judges lifted Agnodice's sentence, and from then on, women were allowed to practice medicine, provided they only looked after women.

Thus, Agnodice made her mark in history as the first Greek female doctor, physician and gynecologist.

This plaque depicting Agnodice at work was excavated at Ostia, Italy.

REINCARNATION

Without mentioning the most famous case, that of Dorothy Eady who claimed to have lived in ancient Egypt, there is the case of Shanti Devi, an Indian woman born in 1926 in Delhi, India, and died in 1987.

Already at the age of four, she began to speak of her past life, her husband, and her two children; she had lived with her husband in the city of Mathura where he owned a clothing shop, that her past name was Chaudine and she had died giving birth to her third child.
Her parents let her be, convinced that these were only the fantasies of a child.

It was only when her statements about her past life became more persistent that they began to worry. Shanti often spoke of the foods she cooked for her family, the streets of Mathura, etc. The older she grew, the more Shanti told stories of her past life, insisting with her parents to take her to Mathura.

One day her teacher, intrigued, sent a letter to the address of her supposed husband describing the situation and, to his surprise, the man confirmed everything, from the wife's name to that of the children, the address and his relatives; everything said by Shanti corresponded, even the color of the house. The teacher asked Shanti's "husband," Pandit Kedarnath Chaube, to come to Delhi to meet her but the man, fearing a scam, sent his cousin asking to present himself with his name. When the man arrived at the station, Shanti was not deceived, recognizing her husband's cousin immediately and revealing further details of the house, her children, and her "husband."

Shocked, the man returned home and told everything to the cousin, convincing him to go to Delhi to meet her but Pandit was not yet fully convinced, so when the cousin knocked on Shanti's house door, he introduced him as his brother. This time too, the girl was not deceived and pointed out Pandit as her husband in the other life.

At dinner, she had Pandit's favorite dishes prepared and as proof of her reincarnation, she described the house and the place where she had hidden her personal jewels and a sum of money.

When Pandit and his cousin took the train to Mathura, the girl wanted to go with them but was not allowed. Later, she was invited by Pandit to visit his house with her parents and the girl made the journey without getting lost, proving she knew those streets well although it was the first time she visited that city.

Upon arrival, she recognized all her "neighbors" by name, although she had never seen them before, describing their houses and children, scolding Pandit because he had painted the house a different color, leaving the man once again astonished.

During the meeting, she recognized her children, including the one she had never known, telling things that only Pandit's deceased wife could know and describing the transition period between one body and another.

When it was time to say goodbye, she cried at the thought of having to leave her children again but always stayed in touch with her previous family.

The girl became very famous in India to the point of being introduced to Mahatma Gandhi and many members of the Indian Parliament. In 1935, a special commission of inquiry was established on her case, concluding that Shanti Devi was a true case of reincarnation.

This is the most documented past life case in history, not only for the investigations that have been done but because the subject did not describe a life in distant epochs but the one immediately preceding, providing at the same time testimonies and direct evidence.

Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) – The story of the man who never gave up on his dreams.

Rowan Atkinson was born in a middle-class family and suffered terribly as a child because of his stuttering. He was also teased and bullied at school because of his looks. His bullies thought he looked like an alien. He was soon marked a strange and became a very shy, withdrawn kid who didn’t have many friends, so he dived into science, one of his teachers said.

There was nothing outstanding about him. Admitted to Oxford University during his days, he started falling in love with acting but couldn’t perform due to his speaking disorder.

He got his master’s degree in electrical engineering before appearing in any movie or TV show after getting his degree, he decided to pursue his dream and become an actor so he enrolled in a comedy group but again, his stammering got in the way.

A lot of TV shows rejected him, and he felt devastated but despite the many rejections. He never stopped believing in himself. He had a great passion for making people laugh and knew that he was very good at it.

He started focusing more and more on his original comedy sketches and soon realized that he could speak fluently whenever he played some character. he found a way to overcome his stuttering and his also used there is an inspiration for his acting.

While studying for his master’s Rowan Atkinson co-created the strange, surreal, and now speaking character known as Mr. Bean.

He had success with other shows, Mr. Bean made him globally famous and despite all the obstacles, he faced because of his looks and his speaking disorder, he proved that even without a heroic body or a Hollywood face, you can become one of the most loved and respected actors in the world.

The motivational success story of Rowan Atkinson. It’s so inspiring because it teaches is that to be successful in life, the most important things are passion, hard work, dedication and never giving up, because without caring about our feelings and weaknesses.

Moral of the story:

No one is born perfect. Don’t be afraid. People can accomplish amazing things every day in spite of their weaknesses and failures. So go and do the best you can with the one life you’ve got.

Venus and Serena Williams

In 1980, a man named Richard turned on his television and saw a female player from Romania receiving a check for $40,000 after winning a tennis tournament.

The whole scene was enough to shock Richard. This was a far more than his annual salary.

WITHIN A FEW YEARS, HE DECIDED THAT HIS YOUNG DAUGHTERS WOULD ALSO PLAY TENNIS.

After turning off the television, he sat down and wrote a 78-page document outlining a plan for his two young daughters to flee their hometown of Compton, California, an area known for notorious black gangster violence.

But there was also a problem that Richard didn't know anything about tennis, he didn't have the money to pay for his daughters to train for this expensive sport, and maybe it's incredible to you that his daughters weren't even born at that time.

Over the next five years, he collected tennis-related magazines and video cassettes. He also taught himself to play tennis. Five years later, according to his plan, Richard had a tennis racquet in the hands of his two daughters, the same magazines and videos and what he had learned from them.

Now, he was the father and coach of these little girls, he began to teach them the game of tennis.

Poor Richard would sometimes go to local country clubs to collect used tennis balls from bins and load them into a shopping cart, so that his daughters could practice with them on public tennis courts, since he was unable to afford the basics for them.

He was overprotective and physically strong as a father, and was often beaten by local gang bullies while trying to protect his daughters from harassment during trainings.

On one occasion when he refused to leave the practice court with his daughters, they broke his nose, jaw and fingers, and knocked out several of his teeth.

Richard got home with his daughters, opened his diary, and wrote: "After today, history will remember the 'toothless' man as a monument of courage."

Since tennis was a predominantly white sport at the time, people would stare and shout at the black family as Richard and his daughters traveled to various tennis courts for junior tournaments.

Once the girls asked, "Daddy, why do people stare at us so badly," he replied, "Because they are not used to seeing such beautiful people before."

The wheel of time turned quickly and the calendar page turned sharply to the year 2000, when a tall, lean black girl set out on a journey to play at the Wimbledon tournament final, and thousands of miles away from her native ghetto, Richard watched his eldest daughter play on the grass in front of London's elite, celebrities and royalty.

That was the time When no one had ever seen a tennis player with such a powerful serve and fast footwork, nor had they ever heard shots so loud.

It's like every ball is being beaten and every ball is crying out in pain because she played with vigour.

When the girl reached a stage where victory was ahead of fear, the girl looked at her father standing in the stands who was encouraging her to achieve victory by shouting loudly, as he has always told his daughters, that "One day, we're going to win Wimbledon, and it's not going to be for us. It will be for the helpless and poor people of America."

RICHARD'S 20-YEAR-LONG STRUGGLE PLAN HAD NOW REACHED A CRITICAL POINT IN HISTORY.

As the opponent's ball hit the net, cameras caught a teary-eyed Richard dancing wildly as he watched his daughter Venus Williams win the first of her seven Grand Slam titles.

Over the next several years, Richard also watched his youngest daughter Serena Williams win 23 major tournaments and become one of tennis greatest players of all time.

For all their success on the tennis court, what Venus and Serena endured off the court is the most impressive part of their father‘s journey.

The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen:

"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper using a barometer."

One student replied, "You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."

This highly original answer so incensed the instructor that the student was failed. The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case.

The arbiter judged that answer was indeed correct, but did not display knowledge of physics. To resolve the problem it was decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer, which showed at least a minimal familiarity the principles of physics.

For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use.

On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows,
"Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer."

"Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper."

"But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in the restoring force T = 2 pi sq. root (l /g)."

"Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up."

"If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into meters to give the height of the building."

"But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor's door and say to him 'If you would like a nice new barometer, I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'."

The student was Niels Bohr, the only person from Denmark to win the Nobel Prize for Physics.

The Crazy Swede

Göran Kropp is most well-known for his beyond epic 1996 adventure when he rode his bike 8,000 miles from Sweden to Nepal, climbed Mt. Everest unsupported and without oxygen, and then biked home with his 170 lbs of gear.

He climbed such mountains as K2 and used rollerskating for his cardio workouts. His reasoning was that it moves your whole body, arms and legs, which is essential for high-altitude climbing. He also did a little weight-lifting, running, and climbing, of course.

Göran Kropp wasn't shy of adventure, and on a cold Swedish day in October 1995, he got on his self-modified bike, packed his gear (all 170 lbs of it), and then set off to Kathmandu. He took a mountain bike with some touring bike parts on it.

For example, he used slick tires when his tire went out and put on a luggage rack to hold his bags. Also, he put on lights and exchanged a gearshift to make it easier than a mountain bike. The journey to Nepal lasted 4 months and 6 days and took him through Romania, Turkey, Pakistan, and Iran. He decided he could make it with just one pair of underwear in order to save weight but still had a hack-of-a-load to carry. Why? Because this was a completely unsupported ride.

He would be taking everything he needed, except for food, all the way to the base of Mt. Everest— 7,693 miles, to be precise. Finding enough food was hard. He was a vegetarian and had to pick his food carefully. He would try and find the best food possible in restaurants and other places along the way. "I ate everything," he said in a letter interview but still lost 22 lbs on his way out.

He fixed 132 flat tires, was almost run over (intentionally), hassled by locals, laughed at, chased by dogs, had stones thrown at him, and assaulted with a baseball bat. From there, he left his bike at a hotel and carried his 143 lbs of climbing equipment to Everest Base.

On top of biking to Nepal unsupported, he also wanted to summit Everest solo without oxygen and any assistance from Sherpas to help with his equipment. On the 3rd of May, he was within a couple of hundred meters from the summit when he found himself waist-deep in snow, struggling to go any further. As darkness fell, he thought he might get stuck and didn't want to descend in the dark.

There were fixed ropes to help so he could have carried on, but his instincts said no, and he turned around back to basecamp.
While recovering at basecamp, disaster struck. A blizzard came in, killing eight trekkers, known as the 1996 Mount Everest Disaster; it was turned into a bestselling book by Jon Krakauer, "Into Thin Air." Kropp helped the relief crew and supported them in the recovery of the trekkers.

This shook him, but a man with this much determination would not be stopped. On the 26th of May 1996, he made his second attempt which took him to the top of Everest without support. Here he had made it to the top of the world. Do you think he must have got on the first flight home for a good rest? He jumped back on his bicycle and cycled the full 7,693 miles back home to Sweden.

His adventures didn't stop there; he later returned to Everest with his girlfriend, Renata Chlumska (an extraordinary adventurer in her own right), who supported him on his first trip and then went on to summit again in 1999. Like his last climb, he accepted no handouts and stuck true to being self-supported. As the years went on, he became more adventurous, and it wasn't just mountains.

In 2000, he and fellow Swede Ola Skinnarmo attempted to ski to the North Pole. Unfortunately, they had to abandon due to a frost-bitten thumb.

As the years went on, Kropp began to plan a new adventure. Although not a sailer, he decided to sail from Sweden to the McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, ski to the South Pole and back, and then sail back home.

In September of 2002, he took some time to go rock climbing in Washington State. Unfortunately, two safety rigging failures occurred on a 60ft climb, and the accident took his life at the age of 35.

DEATH OF INTELLIGENCE SENTENCING SOCRATES

One day in 399 BC, the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 Athenians. He was accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and "corrupting the youth".

Aguilty verdict could mean death. After six hours of arguments from Socrates and his accusers, the jury voted by placing "guilty" or "not guilty" discs into an urn. The verdict: guilty by 280 to 220.

The jury was asked to decide on Socrates' penalty, which his accusers argued should be the death penalty. When asked for his opinion, Socrates impudently suggested that he receive a government salary and free dinners for the rest of his life. His second suggestion was that he pay a small fine.

Athenians had come to expect no less from Socrates, a man who was widely hated by the city-state. According to Plato, his student and biographer, Socrates had become the "gadfly" of Athens when the oracle at Delphi had allegedly said no one was wiser than he.

Socrates regularly annoyed his fellow citizens: he enraged the polis, the political community, by criticizing democracy, a political system invented in Athens; and he embarrassed people with his Socratic method of questioning, which invariably exposed ignorance. Socrates was also associated with the Thirty Tyrants, who had briefly overthrown the Athenian government.

But now Socrates was about to receive his comeuppance.

His sentence was ex*****on, to be administered by his drinking a cup of hemlock. Plato was not present at the ex*****on, but his Phaedo recalls it from eyewitness accounts told to him.

This is what happened after Socrates had drunk the poison:

"Socrates walked around until he said that his legs were becoming heavy, when he lay on his back, as the attendant instructed. This fellow felt him, and then a moment later examined his feet and legs again. Squeezing a foot hard, he asked him if he felt anything?

Socrates said that he did not. He did the same to his calves and, going higher, showed us that he was becoming cold and stiff. Then he felt him a last time and said that when the poison reached the heart he would be gone. As the chill sensation got to his waist, Socrates uncovered his head (he had put something over it) and said his last words: 'Crito, we owe a c**k to Asclepius. Do pay it.

Don't forget.... after a while he gave a slight stir, and the attendant uncovered him and examined his eyes. Then Crito saw that he was dead, he closed his mouth and eyelids."

So ends the account of one of the most famous early poisonings in history, and with it Socrates, the father of Western philosophy.

How long can a human being go without eating?

In 1965, a 27-year-old Irish man named Angus Barbieri who suffered from severe obesity did it for 382 days.

He survived more than a year exclusively thanks to his body fats, in addition of course to water, other liquids and supplements, going to the bathroom approximately once every 40/50 days.

The sensational fast had been prescribed to him by Dr. William Kinnear Stewart and occurred under controlled conditions, with frequent blood tests and hospital checks.

In the initial intentions the treatment should have lasted only 40 days but Angus found himself unexpectedly at ease stating that his body was getting used well to the absence of food and, thanks to his great desire to achieve the goal, he decided to continue to the bitter end.

In the end, starting from an initial weight of 207kg, he managed to lose 125kg, thus reaching his ideal weight of 82kg.

He broke his fast on the morning of 11 July 1966, eating a hard-boiled egg, a slice of bread and butter and a cup of coffee, stating in a later interview that he enjoyed the meal very much but it immediately made him feel full.

The following months and years he continued to be monitored by doctors and the last check-up, 5 years later, showed that his weight had remained under 90 kg, a value that he maintained for the rest of his life.

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time.

Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic keto-acidosis.

Others were being treated by being placed on an extremely strict diet, which inevitably led to starvation.

These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death.

The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.

As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up.

Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas.

A room that was full of death and gloom, suddenly became a place of joy and hope.

In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto.

With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes.

Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.

In the same year, Banting, Collip, and Best decided to sell the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1.

Banting famously went on to say, “Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.”

The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dived into the sea near Syracuse. He was with his daughter Rosana on the boat. While diving, he felt a light blow on his back. He turned around and saw a dolphin. He realized that the dolphin didn't want to play but was trying to communicate something. The animal dove down, and Enzo followed. At a depth of about 15 meters, another dolphin was trapped in an abandoned net.

Maiorca quickly asked his daughter for the diving knife. In a few minutes, they managed to free the dolphin, who let out an "almost human cry" as Maiorca described it.

A dolphin can survive underwater for up to 10 minutes before suffocating. After being freed, still dazed, the dolphin, Enzo, Rosana, and the first dolphin resurfaced. Then it turned out to be a female dolphin who gave birth to a baby dolphin shortly afterward.

The dolphin father made a circle, swam to Enzo, touched his face like a kiss, as a gesture of gratitude... and swam away.

After everything that had happened, Enzo said: "Until man learns to respect nature and communicate with the animal world, he will never know his true role on Earth!"

The story took place in 2009.🐳💖

Derek Paravicini – Human Orchestra Derek Paravicini is a musical prodigy. When you watch him belt out a tune on the piano, you will notice how completely at ease and relaxed he is. For Derek the piano is like an extension of his soul. Derek Paravicini was born on the 26th July 1979. Derek became blind as a result of oxygen therapy given to him in intensive care after he was born extremely prematurely. He was first introduced to the piano by his nanny at the tender age of two, and after lessons and a few years of practice made his first concert in South London at the age of seven! Human Orchestra – Derek is known for his amazing musical talents. He can listen to a piece of music one time, and then play it perfectly. He has perfect pitch, which is the rare ability to recreate a sound once heard, perfectly the first time. (for the rest of us that don’t have this rare gift we need to listen to other tones as references before eventually stumbling upon the right sound) Derek shows us that there is still so little we know about the power of the human mind. We asked Derek if our website visitors could learn one thing from him, in regards to everything he has found out about himself over his lifetime, what would he tell them? Music is the best thing in my life. Derek is a rare and talented Savant. We do not think that the average human is capable of what Derek can do, even if they trained for all of their lives. Due to his other senses developing far beyond the norm, he has unlocked something that the rest of us cannot yet unlock. We asked Derek if he believed his special power is genetic, or did he think others could learn to do what he does with the right training? Being good at music needs lots of hard work. From his answers to our questions and the fact that music is everything to him, he is letting us know that all of us can become extra special with a talent if we dedicate ourselves to it. To us it seems amazing what he does, but he has in fact devoted h

Ron White – Super Ron White is a man that became Superhuman, without being born that way. No easy feat. To do that and then dedicate your life to the fallen heroes of America is something truly special and unique. Ron White was born in 1973. Ron started training his memory when he was 18 years old. As Ron is now 43 he has been fine tuning his craft for over 20 years. He was not what you would call a college superstar as he admits to being kicked out of college altogether! Ron told us that he went to the University of North Texas but was kicked out of school with a 0.9 GPA. He went on to describe the problem was that he didn’t go to classes – not a bad memory! He then began work for a memory company that taught him the memory system (they are no longer in business). He learned it and then at the age of 19 started his own company. He enlisted in the Navy after 9-11-01 and was a reservist. In 2007 he completed a tour in Afghanistan. Memory Man – Ron White is undoubtedly the number one memory man in the USA and one of a select few in the world. We reached out to Ron and asked him what he was currently up to. Here is what he had to say. Currently my project is as a veteran of the war in Afghanistan I memorized all the fallen heroes (2,300). I memorized their rank, 1st name and last name. It is 7,000 words and took me 10 months to memorize. I travel the USA writing the names from memory and it takes me 10 hours to write out. Wow! What an amazing and special thing to be doing. Ron is a real stand up guy and obviously a proud American. Ron tells us that anyone can improve their memory if they use the system he uses. The benefits of it vary from person to person. Maybe it’s: remembering names and faces, giving speeches without notes, memorizing chapters of books, students improving grades, remembering what you learn at seminars, memorizing poems or quotes, memorizing religious texts, having a healthy brain as you age Memory is all about filing things prope

Scott Flansburg – Human Calculator With a mind that can calculate numbers faster than a super computer Scott Flansburg is a man who not only amazes all that he meets – he is willing to share his special abilities with the world. We can all learn from this super human. Scott Flansburg was born on December 28, 1963. At the age of nine Scott began to discover that he had, what some describe as, mental calculator abilities. He found that he could solve math questions that his teacher’s gave and didn’t need to even write down the calculations. Additionally when visiting the grocery store with his family he would know the amount of the bill and would have told his father, who wrote out the check, before the bill had even been rung up. Something amazing is that as a youth he started to notice that the number and shape of angles in numbers are related to their values – as a result of this he stopped counting 1 to 10 on his fingers and began to think in terms of 0 – 9. Human Calculator – Scott has one of the most amazing abilities that we at Sapien Plus have ever seen. He can add, subtract and divide big numbers with an amazing degree of accuracy in a manner that seems unfathomable to normal human beings. Scott is on a mission to help kids learn to really do maths – the easy way. Scott teaches us that we need to think beyond the normal boundaries of mankind. Watching him in action is absolutely unbelievable, and it’s real. Tests via a MRI scan, whilst on Stan Lees Super Human Show revealed that when he is calculating numbers a different area of his brain is being used – the part that is normally associated with movement (close to the motor cortex). It made us think that perhaps we have been learning maths the wrong way for years, by the way we are taught it a part of the brain is used that struggles to add numbers and perform calculations. If only we could teach our young people to use a different part of the brain, that has the processing power

Nina Kulagina – Telekinetic Nina joined the Red Army when she was just 14, as part of the tank regiment. According to Nina she was always aware of her mind powers. By the time her reported psychic abilities were investigated she was already a housewife. She spent a lot of time sewing, particularly after a nervous breakdown which she suffered in 1964.There were many studies done on her over the last 20 years of her life. She had another identity as well. Due to the amazing results of the experiments performed on her by Russian scientists, they gave her another identity to keep her hidden from the rest of the world. She was also known as Nelya Mikhailova. Life cannot have been easy for Nina. There were plenty of skeptics who did not believe in the results of the experiments. Nina could apparently, with the power of her mind move physical objects. Legend has it that she could also could do the following. Identify the diseases of sick folk that she encountered. Heal sick people (Healing powers). See images in peoples pockets. See colors with her finger tips You might be saying to yourself “How the heck does someone see colors with their fingertips?” and that is a very good question. Legend has it that Nina, being an avid sewer, would put her hand into her sewing basket and select the color of thread that she wanted, without looking. She didn’t need to look because her fingers could detect the color of the thread. She died in 1990, apparently her psychic abilities took a lot out of her physically and she was often left exhausted after demonstrating her powers. Nina appears to be one of the few in history that managed to convince scientists and even some skeptics that Telekinesis is possible. Astounding claims however require astounding evidence. In a case like this it is upon the person claiming to have such a power to prove beyond all doubt that it is real. What we generally see is other parties trying to prove the powers are not real. As we mentioned ear

Guy Bavli – Telekinetic Watching Guy Bavli bend a spoon or move an object with his mind can be a little disturbing.

Guy was born in Israel, however in 2002 he moved to the US. After the divorce of his parents, and an experience with obesity as a child Bavli became fascinated by illusions and mentalism. Thanks to the early beginnings in show business, from the age of thirteen he was already opening acts for artists in Israel. He was known then as “Wonder Kid”. One of his amazing accomplishments was when, in 1996, he successfully predicted the election results in Israel!

Isao Machii #IsaoMachii is one of the most popular #superhumans on planet earth. You have to see his freakish skills with your own eyes. Only then will you believe what just happened is even possible. Isao Machii was born on August 20th, 1973. Isao is a Japanese Iaido master hailing from #Kawanishi, #Japan. He holds several Guinness World Records related to his prowess with the sword. One Guinness record is for the most sword cuts to straw mats in 3 minutes (252) Here is a video of Isao achieving another Guinness World record with #Katanacuts. Isao has SuperHuman sensory powers that are beyond anything anyone has ever seen from a normal human being. #DrRamaniDurvasula witnessed him cut a pellet from a BB gun in half and had this to say. This is about processing it at an entirely different sensory level because he is not visually processing it. This is a different level of anticipatory processing. Something so procedural, something so fluid for him. You can see what she is talking about in the video below. When you watch the video you will see him connect his sword with the pellet which is travelling in excess of 200 MPH! Isao was one of the stars on the popular Discovery channels Stan Lee’s Superhumans with his fellow super sapien Rubberboy Daniel Browning Smith. We can learn that with utter dedication and practice, the impossible becomes reality. His entire life has been dedicated to training and perfecting his craft. He lives and breathes the #Samurai life every single day. He is now headmaster of his own samurai school. He has also been helping to train a robot which attempts to mimic the amazing sword strokes that he is renowned for. Isao teaches us that nothing is impossible, he has trained his senses and sword skills to Super Human levels. Although his sword skills are honed from years of practice, there is an element of SuperHuman ability when it comes down to the astounding reactions that Isao displays. His responses are far superior to those of a norm
