There are people that can accomplish most tasks after having been shown once, but for some reason can't perform on texts or written assignments. Going back to the military, in the course for my technical role, we had a guy that barely passed each test,but was by far better than any of us on the practical exercises. If I had to hire one of us, I'd have picked him over the guy that got the highest grade for the course (which incidentally was me). I did poorly in highschool and I agree it was largely due to self-control. Once I was doing something that I wanted (working), I suddenly became a good performwr. Once I grew up a bit, I became interested in getting an education and did pretty well in college.
