Back in school I literally helped other students cram 30 minutes before a test, using flash cards I made and used all week, only to have them breeze in and get a higher score than me.

Do you know how great it would be to only barely try, and succeed anyway? I can't even imagine.

I don't think it's that great. I was able to coast through high school but I was hindered once I reached the edge of my natural talent shortly into college. I had never really learned how to buckle down and study so I ended up struggling a lot. I can still pick things up pretty easily but I often give up when it gets to a certain point. Nowadays I feel kinda inferior to others that learned how to keep trying.

I was all ready to come back at with how I wish I had your problem, but I can honestly see how being unable to buckle down would be a huge impediment.

My results may not be as good as my peers and I may take longer, but I am able to get there eventually.

For instance, I am currently on day 4 of 25 of the Advent of Code competition, haha.
