GPA BS. I had a very wise high school English teacher in my Soph and Senior years. He always said a few things about IQ and GPA.
IQ is like a bucket, if you have a big bucket (high score) but you only fill it up half way, what a waste. It is better to have a smaller bucket and have it overflowing with knowledge.
GPA, via personal experience. If you were to see my GPA for my associates degree, I’d be laughed out of the HR office. Hey, full time college was not for me. My bachelors was a 3.79, my masters was a 3.89. In 25 years I have only come to the conclusion that those last two numbers kept my resume out of the trash. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but by no means the dullest either, I get my job done with the best of my abilities and always look for a way to learn something new everyday.
“best of my ability ...” “ ...learn something new every day ...”
Exactly.
But since Obama already knows everything and is already functioning at 110 percent of his ability (just ask him!) he doesn’t have that mindset at all.
