Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job.

Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at Inteli Data, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. “Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,” he says.

　　Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. “Nothing seems to shake his attention,” says Mrs Nowakowskis, his boss.
