I was top of my class when I was at school at almost everything (except for things like French, Religious Education and things I didn't care about much). I was top of every class at Sixth Form (16-18).

I went to Uni and there were people that were smarter than me by quite a bit. It is just something you gotta accept and be okay with it.

I am lucky enough to be smarter than the vast majority of the population, and I make more money and I have opportunities that most people don't have

When I saw real poverty it was a reality check and I've calmed down since.
