Difference between a brilliant and an average student

Both a brilliant and average student has the same potentialities.

But a brilliant student believes that he/she is a topper and thus works for it.

An average student thinks even prior to the exam that he can't top.

Your belief makes you what you are!

ordinary and extraordinary is
