How to become topper?

I believe this question requires us to answer ways in which we can become number one or achieve the first rank in our studies. There are a million ways to achieve this but the most important habits that work out a lot to many are to stay disciplined, maintain consistency, and study really hard. Formulate a plan and stick to it. Make studying an interest just like anything else and practice hard. If you fail, always learn from your past mistakes and try harder until it works. Stay motivated and focus on your purpose because at the end of the day, the decisions you make affect your life in a positive or negative way. Stay positive. As Mike Tyson once said, "Discipline is doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it."
