"I came back to the simple things." "Learning to understand the emotions!"
The man once recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as having the highest IQ ever recorded — an astonishing 210. (For comparison, the late scientist Stephen Hawking had an IQ of 160.)
Kim began speaking at 6 months old, and by the age of 3, he was reading Japanese, English, and German — reportedly mastering a new language in about 30 days. By age 4, he was solving complex integral and differential equations, writing poetry, and was also an impressive artist!
He was invited to attend Hanyang University for physics classes between the ages of 4 and 7.
At just 8 years old, Kim was invited to NASA in the USA, where he completed his bachelor’s degree.
He began research at NASA in 1974 and continued until 1978. Then, unexpectedly, he returned home to South Korea.
Kim finished his entire university education in a single year and started working… as an assistant in a provincial university.
When asked by journalists why he made such choices, Kim Ung-Yong gave an answer that might be his greatest discovery of all:
“You can have extraordinary intellectual abilities, be a genius at mathematics, and speak languages at the highest level, but if you don’t develop an understanding of your own feelings, it can seriously limit your personal and emotional growth.
Intelligence and emotions are deeply connected, and true growth requires the ability to recognize and manage your feelings.
Nothing else matters!!!
I have been to where most people dream of going…
THERE IS NOTHING THERE!!!
IT IS EMPTY!!!
> I came back to simple things.”
Let this be a reminder: Wisdom isn’t just about intellect — it’s about harmony within ourselves. 🧠💫
