I had a similar experience, in HS and in college. Then, several years later, I decided to return for a Masters degree. I was about 30. I had always been told I was exceptionally bright and capable, but I had never applied myself. I decided to apply myself, to see what I was capable of. I learned two things:

1) I am indeed bright and capable. Material is easy for me to learn and process and apply.
2) There are other people out there who are also bright and capable, and who work hard. If you're a guy who is bright and capable but does not work hard.......those people are going to KICK YOUR ASS.
