My dad has told me this for as long as I can remember: "Study hard and the test is easy; study easy and the test is hard."

It rings true on so many levels for me.

That's pretty much something every university study tells themselves.

Very similar, I once had a teacher who had the cheesy saying 'failing to prepare is preparing to fail'. I take that approach to every important meeting/situation I now encounter and am doing better for it.
