Smart? Or Something Else?

Mar 9, 2023

Being gifted is a subject of debate.

Some believe that some people are born with certain abilities and talents, while others believe it’s all about the effort one puts in to perfecting those skills. There is no definitive answer as to whether being gifted exists or not, but one thing is for sure: developing resilience and practicing can pay off significantly when it comes to excelling at something.

It might seem like some people have a natural ability when it comes to writing essays, articulating ideas, understanding complicated maths concepts etc, but if you look deeper into it, what’s really going on is hard work and dedication. People who appear naturally talented will have been putting in hard work for a long time in order to achieve the level of success they’ve attained.

It can be easy to look at someone who’s naturally talented or gifted and feel discouraged if you aren’t able to replicate those same results. But remember that even for those “naturally gifted” people, a lot of hard work has gone into what appears like natural ease.

With enough practice and resilience, anyone can become an expert in something they are passionate about. So while there may never be a definitive answer as to whether being gifted exists or not, it’s safe to say that with enough effort and dedication, anyone can become good at essay writing if they put their mind to it!

One of the biggest mistakes students make in the HSC is trying to avoid getting things wrong.

❌ They delay practice.
❌ They wait until they feel ready.
❌ They leave feedback too late.

Confidence doesn’t come from getting your answers right the first time. It comes from getting it WRONG early enough to improve.

The students who perform best:
✅ Practice questions early
✅ Practice their writing consistently
✅ Get feedback weeks (not days) before exams

🎯 The goal isn’t to avoid failure. It’s to use it, early, so you can walk into exams calm, prepared, and confident.

The students who stay consistent during the HSC?

They’re not more disciplined. They’re more connected.

Connected to:
🏔️Where they’re going
🏔️ Who they want to become
🏔️ What’s possible if they follow through

Because when your vision is strong, you stop negotiating with yourself.

You don’t wake up and ask: “Do I feel like studying today?”

You wake up and ask: ““What do I need to do today to get closer to the top of Mount HSC?”
