I am not a mathematician at all and I have never been. My contributions to mathematics are exactly zero.

But even if I were, why did the hundreds of people I studied with in school and university fail far more than I did. No, I didn't work especially hard and often times I was explaining things to other students, it weren't the teachers, we all had the same. It also wasn't motivation, I didn't need all that much to succeed. Was it just luck that I outperformed most people given the opportunity?
