Smart and Lazy? Or Not so smart and hardworking?

       When one is smart, one tends to understand things much faster than one who is not so smart, or in other words, stupid. However, why do the not so smart ones do better than the smart ones in the exams? The answer is that they are hardworking.
       However, i tend to realise that the not so smart but hardworking people tend to forget how to do the various problems that they had learnt after they have completed their examinations. Why is this so? It is because they tend to just remember the formulas or the explanations by heart. When they remember these things by heart, they are not actually understanding the formulas, hence, they will tend to forget these things one they have passed the exam which has tested this things.
       Smart people who are lazy, are just as bad, or maybe even worse. They do understand the topic that was thought, but they don't even want to try to study for the exam which tests these topics as they think that they are already very smart and that they do not need to study for the exam. This will result in overconfidence and laziness, and hence, they will not do well in the exam.
