At the dining table, after having dinner Alan looked at his parents, hesitated then said "Dad, Mom I want to discuss something with you"
George, who was reading some documents, looked up and asked "Yes, what is it little Alan?" in a teasing tone.
"I want to skip grades", said Alan.
"What?", looked George a little surprised. Even his mom came to the table to join in the conversation.
Alan looked at the two of his parents and said, "Dad, Mom I feel that the content taught in school is very simple and easy, the teacher was praising a student because he skipped two grades", then after a pause in a tone that is both childish and exaggerating, he said "I looked at my brother's books too, and it as easy to understand. Dad if you get me other grades book, I think I can directly pass them", then smiled exaggeratedly at his parents.
The two adults looked at each other and then discussed among themselves, then at the expectant gaze of Alan that they would test him. Then the two took out various books from his brother's old book and began to ask questions, the more they asked the more surprised they were. Alan even took the chance to say to his father, "Dad, math is so easy give me some harder questions".
After a night of fighting various questions and answering both parents were delighted to learn that their son was indeed a genius.
So, they decided to make a detailed plan for Alan's study.
As for Alan, he went to his dad's study and took a bunch of manuscript paper, a fountain pen, a bottle of Ink, a few coloured pens, pencils, an eraser, a ruler, some stationaries he thought might be useful and took them to his room.
Then he took out the paper and started jotting down his thoughts. His career plan was first to engage in publishing and music from 1960 to 1970, accumulate capital, and in the 70s go to the USA for college and slowly transition to engage in technology, especially computers and software. In the 80s he engaged in filming and technology. In the 90s engage in the internet.
With a preliminary idea in his mind, he thought about what he could write about so he opened the biochip interface to start his research by asking for AI assistance and searching the Internet.
