Embrace this indisputable fact: You’re not as smart as you think you are. You’re not. Even if you’re really, really, really smart. Smartest kid in your high school. Smarter than your parents. Smarter than your smart-ass friends. Smarter than everyone you have ever met. Smarter than the author of the words you’re reading.
You just aren’t. If you were, you’d already know you weren’t. But you don’t, so I’m here to tell you, because it’s the one thing I truly wish I had known when I was your age.
