Sacrifices right? While one group goofs off, does the minimum to get by, who for one reason or another are satisfied with mediocre grades... another group is sacrificing these things to develop their skills, it's not just in academia. I know people who worked hard on their Math, others worked hard at the Track/Sports, others worked at music instruments, and other activities and became top in our school. Sure, they had higher nerd status than the rest because they spent more time studying than socializing - but trust me, they didn't miss much.
