I totally disagree. "Gifted kid burnout" pretty much refers to the experience of being "gifted" with intelligence and never needing to work hard to be praised as a high achiever. The "gift" really does exist, and that's why it's harmful to focus on intelligence over hard work. The gift is a curse if not utilized well, leading to depression and burnout in young people.
