“Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this, when I have a subject in mind, I study it profoundly”
— Alexander Hamilton

Simplified Meaning:
People often think I'm very smart. But the truth is, I'm not special in that way. What makes me seem smart is that when I need to learn about a topic, I put a lot of effort into understanding it deeply. Imagine you're preparing for an important exam. Some students might just skim through their notes, but if you spend a lot of time really studying and understanding each part, you will probably do much better. In the same way, if you focus and work hard on any subject, you can become really good at it too. So, rather than believing you're either smart or not, remember that putting in serious effort can make a big difference.
