(How to become successful in your academic career)
It’s 3 am. My head is getting dizzy. My hand is shaking and I’m getting nervous. The exams are 5 hours away and I know I’m not prepared. Dawn comes, a rooster cocks and the city springs to life.

In the middle of my struggle I wondered how he could be that smart.
