This happened to me in Grade 4, with learning long division: it was a terrible struggle, and once I figured it out, the test was over & so was the unit. Ever since then, I've noticed it's a metaphor with so many other things, including life itself.

Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful; yourself

Probably because you were smart enough to understand the general basics but did not have enough practices / study to nail the test or life matters when knowledge and experience were called upon.

Even enlightenment is a means, not the end. I've heard Buddha was enlightened at age 40.... after years of constant work.

Guess that's why some people say it's the journey that matters, not the destination.
