    I am convinced that being “smart” in high school and college stunted my career. I didn’t do any work in high school, and had like 2 classes that I’d consider difficult in college. I never learned the value of hard work.

      I hear you. Finally ending up in a class that properly challenged me was like roller skating into wet cement.

        I had to check the username on this comment to ensure that it wasn’t me posting this. I’ve said these words verbatim.
