alt Hacker NewsI think a big one you didn’t touch on is being told you do well in school because you are smart, not because you put in the effort.
It’s a lie many start believing, that they don’t put in effort.

Not sure that's true. I am by no means gifted in the sense of Terence Tao, or even people much more gifted than me but far less gifted than him, but I did well in school up to a certain point in college. I never really learned how to study until I got fairly far in my education process. I put very little effort into school up until that point. That's when I actually had to put effort in and it was quite a wake up call.
