grades are over-rated

i don't think i've gone one day where ever i've been and haven't heard some one mention grades. i can't take it anymore. my head hurts.

SHUT UP ALREADY!!!! 

why are people so grade conscious? i know that is one area highly thought of and respected. but seriously, there are way more important areas in a person that should be more noticed. 

i think people need to stop worrying so much and look at the more important aspects. like personality, humility, etc. if people looked for the positive qualities in others and not so much o smartness (book smarts, that is) many more people would become noticed. 

okay people, we need to expand our outlook on others and drop the books.
