Please show me where in the article it says he is doing what he loves. The closest I can find is ''One of his primary interests is "wormholes'' .... which isn't close to loving at all and in fact sounds strongly like writers fluff. If you interviewed me and I said im studying business management and would like to become good at it you could write ''One of his primary interests is business management.'' Doesn't mean I like it, just means im studying it and would like to become good at it. In fact I dislike it, would still like to be good at it just for practicality though.
Or ''"I'd like to prove that wormholes are really there and prove all the theories are correct."'' ...again I would say that is pushing it to claim he is doing what he loves. In fact without the full interview that could be completly meaningles.
So you are studying wormholes, is there anything specific you would like to do in your studies?
I'd like to prove they exist.
Does that sound like something someone loves? I'd like to become a multi millionaire business manager. Doesn't mean I like studying for it.
Or maybe the part where his parents say he's an average kid who loves studying? Not him but his parents. I mean look at what his dad says ''"Finals are coming and everything and he cannot play with both hands. He'll just try to play with the right hand," he says. "I don't know how his grade's going to be in piano. It worries me a bit."''
How horrible does that sound.
He doesn't say, I hope my son isn't too stressed by finals and not being able to play piano properly. He says I hope he doesn't fail his grading. Why not say ''I hope he doesn't worry too much if he fails his grading, obviously it's difficult to play at the moment''
I mean it basically sounds like the normal case of parents over pushing their smart kid. Note he doesn't say he was bored in elementary school, he says they said he looked bored. Pretty massive distinction and I would say a pretty strong subtext as well.
