Are you naturally smart or do you study consistently to prevail academically?


Good question when I was in primary school I never thought I was smarter than anyone else and my results were always fairly average. But when I got into secondary school I decided I did care about my results so I made an effort to work harder in lessons. I also discovered what I think is the secret to getting good results in Alevel and GCSE: doing past papers and them marking them for myself over and over in the period before exams until I was really good at doing exam papers. After that exams where easy and I aced all my subjects.

So in conclusion it's about being driven and having a good revision technique to get good results. My attitude has always been 'if other people can do it I will be able to too'.

ahah indeed :tongue:

would recommend, if you can get past Tolkien's writing style that is :')


I know what you mean as I've said I read Lord of the Rings when I was much younger and for a long while afterwards I thought all epic fantasy authors wrote like Tolkein which out me off for a while. Then I discovered more modern novels tend to be written more so they are more approachable. Not that I don't like Tolkein that is.

Very true I'm still impressed he invented an entire Elvish language for his novels.

Why did you need to specify your race in the title?

Because I looked at all the other open AMA threads and everyone was doing it. Although they were mostly Pakistani, Indian, African, Scottish ect.

I love both but usually I would go for beef. Chicken burgers go very nice with rice though.
