There’s a world of difference between that and beating yourself up for not being in the top 0.01% of performance.

To coast through a serious program (physics, engineering physics, pure math, etc…) at a major university while barely doing any work and also simultaneously getting high marks takes a lot more than 0.01% performance.

More like 0.001%, at the very least, with some extra luck needed too.
