Before I head back to my self imposed exile of exams... a couple of random thoughts have cropped up in my mind....

suppose.... you take two persons, who are of similar intelligence ( I say similar because recent research has shown that its difficult to measure and they r trying to rework the I.Q system I believe) they have the same background (aka same opportunities)..... essentially ceterius paribus..... often you ll still see that one person is very successful and the other one might be mediocre or even a failure.... what made the difference ?

one of the factors as people say could be "luck"(quite popular which I don't accept :P ) it probably comes to choices... this could be with small decisions or even larger view of how they view their decisions......

its back to the books... (finally this hangover is going away.... lol)
