I didn't think you were saying anything against me 0_o.
I understand about the ass-hole attitude however, since I'm much the same in real life. Apparently, I have "fuck off" labelled across my face but only because I'm aggressively competitive. I perceive most people as my enemy or rather, as an obstacle to overcome (not proud of it), which has detrimentally impacted my mental health. With that said, I can't really concede that my mentality doesn't work either. After all, it's gotten me into some of the most academically elite places on earth. If I hadn't be so determined to crush my, shall I say "opponents"...well, I wouldn't be standing where I am today.
As you can see, I'm an ass-hole as well. I mean well deep down, but it's difficult to articulate those feelings when I'm dominated by ambition at the same time. Ah well...
Feel free to think less of me.

Who said you were an asshole?

Just make sure you're making the right decisions while bearing in mind that you are still young. Nothing I say will alter your perception, I think that only experience can achieve that.

Do you know what the true mark of intelligence is? Knowing that you're not actually all that smart. As Shakespeare once said, "A fool doth think himself wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."What a humbling sentiment. It's important to remember this, that while you can do good things without trying there are others out there doing GREAT things, through hard work. I've met three solid geniuses (what I can donsider to be a genius) in my life and all of them, ALL OF THEM, worked their asses off. You could go a lot further if you tried...EVERYONE could. Inside every mind is the potential to grow.Without MY hard work I'd be lost. Yes, I am pursuing Law at Oxford University (incredibly prestigous) and yes I may have a very high IQ, perfect grades etc but that means nothing to me in the end (I think I'm quite average) becasue without the hard work, I don't DESERVE any of it. Apathy will only last you so long, my friend. I speak with the benefit of hindsight.

Punny eh?

This will give me the opportunity to work with the United Nations! If I get there, I can singularly say that I owe it all to a) my family and b) to studying hard. Don't get me wrong, it's tough but whenever I feel like giving up I tell myself things like (and it's sounds lame) "Sherlock studied at Oxford and he didn't give up!" or I try to envisage the future, and wonder how good it would feel to finally achieve that dream. Boys, if you have an academic dream or any dream at all, whether it's to be an astronaut, a doctor, a teacher or an actor etc studying will greatly help. Similarly, I also want to take the time to direct the same message towards women, girls (especially those of you in high school) please focus on your studies. I may only be 20 years old but I can promise you, the hard work is worth it! High school is tough, but without intelligence...life is tougher. Achieve greatness...
