[quote=Anonymous]I referred to myself as a 'floater'. I was basically nice to everyone and mixed well with the jocks, band kids, cheerleaders, nerds, religious, punks, upper class, lower class, etc. I wasn't the best athlete, but I worked harder than most and became captain of the football team. Being nice to everyone got me voted to the homecoming court although I did drink most weekends to excess. The most popular kids were not my closest friends...I hung out more with the second tier popular kids. I was B student and went to an average public college.

What set me apart was hard work/determination. If the smartest person in the class studied an hour for a test, I would study 6 hours. The hard work carried over to my jobs where I consistently put in the longest days, worked through lunch, while still taking time to be kind/respectful to everyone. I'm in my mid-40s and made it to the 1% club. Married now with 2 kids and I am finally started to live a normal life with a 9 to 5 schedule. I always believed that hard work trumps qualities such as intelligence (most of the time).[/quote]
