Gifted? I never said anything about it. Hardwork = good study score.
I know exactly how I got that score and I can be happy or unhappy with it. I am very happy with it - I think it's an awesome mark. It could have been lower. Similarly, it could have been higher. I also sometimes feel I could have done a bit better. This is ambition. All humans are blessed by the quality of ambition.
Thing is, when you put in so much effort and really wanted a 50, it can hurt when you came SO close and missed out by half a mark. Wouldn't you be?
So I don't think I need to rethink my posts. I really hate it when people look at your study scores and automatically make an assumption as to you are arrogant about them if they are good. Because I'm not. I worked hard for it, things worked out for me on the day and I did well. That's all there is to it.
