      Hey Dancer
      I was never very very very clever! But I was really motivated, curious and hard working so I was able to get good results in exams, No matter how clever you are, the most important thing is that you work hard!

      Hi,

      No I was in the top stream but there were others with a higher IQ. Research has shown though that just becasue you have a high IQ doen’t mean you will be successful. Research I have and accept has shown that “the more you practice the better you get”.

      Sinead said it – the more you practice the better you get. If you like what you’re doing, it’s a lot easier to practise- and that helps a lot. I think a lot of “Cleverness” cones from that kind of practice – after a while things that used to be hard seem easy.

      Hi,

      I certainly my wasn’t the cleverest person in my school. I always wanted to do well though so I worked hard.
