<p>If you are best in your school or town at everything, it seems to breed arrogance. I’ll give you that. However, the arrogance of the top 5 kids in a town does help to give the other 5 or so kids who make up the top 10 or so more humility. So just look for the schools where kids #6-10 go. Usually just as smart as kids #1-5, but less arrogance because they realize that at age 17 or 18 they aren’t the shiznit.</p>
