Someone who isn't blind can train their hearing just as well as a blind person but it doesn't make sense for most people so they never do.

@@BuckingHorse-Bull Not the entire truth, but you are not wrong. It's quite proven there are other ways to operate your cognition than verbal thinking. Verbal thinking is actually pretty weak compared to other models of thinking, but people depend on it the most because of social demands. School is horrible in the sense that it actively works to suppress all modes of thinking other than verbal thinking and one dimensional reasoning.

You are amazing Marco, it takes real intelligence and great strength to talk about your personal struggles. I have seen most of your interviews and you are a profound and wise man. I admire you even more after listening to this interview. You are superhero to me and I'm sure to many others. Marco Pierre White, a true artist and a great teacher. With all my respect, Cesar.

Marco is so precise with his words, a joy to listen to!

As a teacher of English, I can only express extreme sympathy for his situation - linguistic obstacles were, back then, thought of as disabilities - and also admiration and respect for his openness in creating more awareness about such challenges for students.

I think you mean that back then, they were NOT thought of as disabilities, but rather just laziness or obtuseness, resulting in the student being chastised or even mocked by teachers. Today however, we do recognise it as a disability, and therefore give such students special support instead of punishment.

This was a beautiful interview!! Genius comes in many forms....

The more I know about this man, the more admiration and respect I have for him.

My longtime friend from HS was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. We used to write papers for her. I though she just had a lazy streak. She went to the Univ. of Wisconsin and became a veterinarian. If to try and strive you can do anything. She used to record non-practical lectures / classes and would play the tapes later and then write notes.

I recently found out that I have ADD. I'm glad Marco is being honest and open about his learning disorder. I find it relieving that there are positive aspects in learning disorders.

Thanks Marco, I was in 40's when I found out I was dyslexic, made me cry as I sent my entire school life thinking I was stupid.

Well this man is very very humble especially when he chose to give back his three stars simply because he thought its not as important . What is important is passion and love for cooking. This man doesn't seem to care about status ; all he cares is his passion and love for food. He is great role model

For somebody who struggles to read, he is eloquent, articulate, and captivating with his speech.

This man is very calp and steady. Very inspiring and generous with the words. You could learn a lot from him while just sitting and watching him talk very simply about his life. The way he simplifies things, and how he explains his life and points out the most important details jus to convey a life lesson to the audience is just mesmerizing.

PURE LEGEND!!!

As a junior school child between 1986-1990 I can tell you there were still teachers then who enjoyed belittling people in there class. I remember one who used to make us stand up and be cross examined on our times tables. If you got less than about 12/20 you had to explain to everyone why you didnt. Awful days but I went on to get an Engineering degree at Oxford

Regardless of who people believe is the better chef between Marco and Gordon, Marco is so much cooler.

Marco is an amazing inspiration, but its hard work, hard work, hard work.

Kudos to him for being so upfront and honest.

Honestly, you go school to learn, and the first thing is to learn how to read and write. If they can't do that honestly what's the point of school. I was one of the last kids in my class to learn how to read. I might have never learnt to read if one great teacher hadn't taken the time and put in a little extra effort to help me. I will forever be grateful to that teacher.

This great man draws you in. He captivates me

marco is a legend, he talks so well

Love Marco, some of the most creative groundbreaking people we have on the planet are dyslexic and we should all be careful not to let them slip though the net.

Amen. Marco is a very clever man some people give him the label of being arrogant however that's just the simple minded people if he is arrogant he has earned the right to be arrogant it's when you are arrogant and haven't earned the right to which is bad.

thank you Marco sharring your story, I had the trouble at school. nz

The thing is that he is very articulate and an all-around good speaker.

every time i watch this man, i feel 10 times more inspired. he makes me feel so safe, safe from myself, my own insecurities, my doubts in my abilities. the world needs more people like him.

Thank you very much for posting this very interesting interview.

By sheer coincidence, I just wrote a paper on the topic of people struggling with mental health issues and how more awareness would help them in boosting their confidence.

Thank you.

Smart guy. Caring guy. What hes doing here is envisioning others like him and baring himself to inspire them to fight through.

so inspiring and relatable

If you've ever heard Marco talk you'll know that this is the way he talks. He always talks slowly and pauses a lot and speaks very thoughtfully, and that's why it may sound rehearsed to you.

Can't get to the bottom of what an inspiration this man is.

the greatest philospher of food and the human mind

I had to watch this like 3 times.

Such a great man!!!!!!!!! I would die to eat his handmade food

Ty Chef! Fuel and fire that was amazing. I can relate coming from special education. Again Ty Chef.

Love it nice person Marco Pierre White very good chef..... Very polite and smart

He tells a great story!!!

you r a guru Marco!!! respect

When I was a child I needed glasses. My teacher called me slow poke and all the children laughed. This destroyed my confidence and made me give up. Marco is so right about them getting a kind of joy out of making fun of you.

Very interesting

my brother and his 2 daughters are dyslexic proving that it is hereditary ,but one of my neices got a bit of extra help at school as they do nowadays and she copes well. some of her posts are funny on facebook but shes not afraid and as i say she copes and we all know what she means even if she dosent spell it right.

Tony Walton As i chef of nearly 14 years, my hero Marco Pierre white is a perfect statement of someone of seeked success. 'Tony', my advice to you is grasp a firm foundation of techniques. I have worked a 13/15 hour shift and come home and cooked until 4/6AM to rectify my repertoire to a solid ace standard. To obtain technique and standards you have to make mistakes to overcome mountains, whether you work in Mc donalds or a 1-3* Michelin star conducted kitchen to have to give it your all if you want that achievement in the long run of obtaining the heart, passion and desire of not giving up until you feel you have reached the standard thats required. use the internet as a ultimate useful tool and read as much as you can from previous pioneers. Good luck on your journey Tony for the future. From random guy from the UK

We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teacher, leave them kids alone Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!

He wasn't lying about some teachers being bullys because when I was in high school I had a teacher that no business being a teacher I remember she would purposely pick me to read up in front of the class and she was well aware I struggle with reading and she knew I was embarrassed about my reading struggles and every time I was having trouble identifying a word she started be little to me front of the class

I think anyone with a gift like Marco has a corresponding weakness in another area. I think Dali said that someone who realizes amazing achievements has an impotency. Beethoven for example, would struggle to write a simple sentence.

Why don’t people get earphones with a mono mode?

Speaking and reading are two very different things. I know several people who are practically illiterate yet they are very fine speakers and others such as myself who have a standard to high level of reading comprehension yet who are not very proficient speakers. The thing is that when you speak half decently people assume that you are intelligent, speaking is a sort of social intelligence requiring a high level of cognitive ability but there are many differing types of intelligence.

I have aspergers. I am sometimes afraid to send a text because I do not know what I am writing.

Totally get the 'word absorption' thing. But no way is it a hinderance.

only of i can hear him.....

His literacy is so bad you can only hear him through your left ear

My left year agrees.

I love you :)

For example, a lot of people I meet say words properly but they struggle a little when it comes to spelling as they try to spell the words the same way that they are pronouncing them. Some people are visual learners while others are verbal learners, most people fall somewhere in the middle but there are always the extremes.

The underdog life is one of hardship, longevity and sacrifice, but by God can you perform miracles. Underachieving experiences are sink or swim and for some, the humiliation is unacceptable, even if it does gift one with humility. These people who want to be the best at their game will never reach the top without failure and hardship. The cost is social disassociation, but if one can trenscend this, anything and everything is possible. I say this as a former underachiever who is now a Principal Engineer of Geotechnics.

Erm no, only in this particular case where you were talking piffle, and disagreeing about the issue of spelling without even managing to spell correctly yourself...! Cheerio...!

you can tell by the way he uses too many hand gestures

Could you please stop calling Marco Pierre White a Celebrity here he really hates being called this I can relate to Marco here because I also have Dyslaxia and I can relate to this

dyslexia is reading-based, you can be taught how to speak proper without knowing how to read proper.

Doesn't sound like the teacher was being a bully but was trying to help you. Probably had you explain why you didnt get them right so that you would admitt that you were not properly applying yourself or that you perhaps have a sort of inferiority, in one thing or another, that you will have to work hard to overcome. Children don't always need a pat on the back, they do occassionally require positive reinforcement but they also need negative reinforcement.

The only reason he gave his stars back was so he wouldn't have to work to keep them up and there was no chance that they could be taken away. It's a chicken way out of looking bad.
