I'm pretty smart. I graduated high school with a three-point-something with little to no effort. I understand that I have the potential to succeed at anything to which I apply myself. This is my blessing. Having things come easily, however, has made me intellectually lazy. Expecting success on the first try has made me easily frustrated and led to some great disappointments. Overcoming the inertia and actually doing is always the most serious difficulty of all. This is my curse.
