The point is I didn't work hard. I can't remember one time where I brought a book home to study, or had homework at all. What work was assigned I did in class during lecture or before class the same day. I would say the classes were ridiculously easy, but I saw so many struggling in them. I don't come from a home that places heavy emphasis on studiousness. So I didn't study. I still passed. As did both my brothers and my sister. All had very good grades as well. (though not quite as high as me). I can't believe that genetics did not play a large role in this. We simply had the intelligence to grasp the material quickly. 2 out of 4 of us have superb memories. Games of trivial pursuit get quite interesting. I recall the last game had 4 teams. 3 of the teams had 3 members each and 1 team had just me. I won on the second turn. One other team was one question away from winning. It consisted of my brother(excellent memory and intellect), his girlfriend (sweet girl, dumb as a brick), and my cousin (umm lets just say smarts passed him by). I don't doubt that these traits are genetic. Since they seemed to cluster so much.
