I think greater percentage of academic success is natural. the best student in my class is less hard working than many students. one of my always-do-well friends is the greatest womanizer, but if he picks a book to read even if he reads five hours, and even if he reads from cover to cover; he will answer you exactly and correctly as it is if you ask him (but many read all night but don't remeber). one of my guys go to the library to read from day one of the semester yet he is struggling to graduate with 2.1. Me? i give less than 10% of my time to academics; i read only when i see exam time table or when i hear there is test. I don't have note and i barely attend lectures, still I'm on the verge of graduating with comfortable and strong 2.1. My point? intelligence is a gift of nature; you can only do a little to harness it.

There r some rules to follow but I don't see those rule as a common way and norm to succeed in life.RATHER I BELIEVE U SHOULD BE DETEMINED AND FOCUS ON WHAT EVER U R DOING NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS

I beg to differ on this...
You need to ask your friend cos I am pretty sure he knows & does something you don't know And I am sure when you get to know what he knows or does, your academics will definitely improve.

A lot of things come into play here:

#Yes some people read all nyt & fail... trust there is something they aren't doing right. Some students need to learn how to read to even start with. Do you know that you can't study a Maths course as you will study English? Study a Maths course all night as though you are reading English and you will still fail.

#For your womanizer friend... Yes some people have more retentive memory. Do you know that your memory can be trained over time? He has trained his brain over a long time and now it appears as though he performs magic.

#Your foundation contributes too... a student who went to "awemuko alagbasa grammar school" will not perform as one who attended 1 of those international schools with white teachers.

My point is this: Get close to any student performing well in your class and find out how and what he does. Smart students know something you don't know and most of them won't want to tell you

They must Believe in themselves too.

* They know their weakness and their strenght .

Pls, mk una no mistake intelligence for brilliance

Meanwhile, some r naturally brilliant, some acquired brilliance while some die trying.

Our best graduating student was a bad tongue user and chaser whn it comes to woman. He grad with 3.82/4.0

I'm NT a distinction student bt I grad top class though, yet, I am NT a die hard reader, truth is I read leisurely bt my time is well managed doing oda things even if NT academics (press work).

Conclusively, try to know ursef, dnt copy odas, try diff methods to knw wch works for u, be friend to high grade students (NT serious students; cos NT every serious student is a beta grade student) and in all, always consult God. That's wt I did most in my days in PTI.

If you go fail you go fail

Your reasoning is awesome! I did a lot of works before arriving at that conclusion. Everyone's brain is meant to develop along a certain line so if your IQ is below average in a particular field there is absolutely nothing you can do to join the group of genius in that field, all things being equal.
