Don ' t trigger them or else they might need to find their safe space <| sep |> As a Kansas fan I really disliked this dude until I realized anyone that comes into Allen and wins is likely a bad dude . For a guy with that size and strength along with his vision and passing ability , I think we ' re going to see Marcus Smart have long career . <| sep |> Nothing wrong with paper , no matter what form it is in , to go into the recycle bin . That ' s all books are , paper , and the bible is only a book . <| sep |> That really does speak to the heart of the matter , doesn ' t it ? Most of these folks are lashing out at reality because it challenges their simple view that higher grades always means better career prospects . To anyone else reading In the real world , what you do outside the classroom matters waaaaay more than your ability to absorb what ' s in your textbook . A GPA tells me little . I ' m not an expert in each college ' s academic curriculum , so it tells me nothing about how much stress and adversity you overcame to achieve that 4 . 0 . In fact , I raise my skepticism at 4 . 0 and even 3 . 9 GPAs because they indicate that you haven ' t experienced much academic adversity . Your careers will not consist of you reporting to your office and answering multiplechoice questions all day . You will have to practice skills , and most of those skills are not actually taught in the classroom . Furthermore , employers want candidates who have successfully dealt with failure , not those who never failed before . A 4 . 0 grade is indicative of someone who has never failed academically , and that tells us you won ' t handle adversity in your professional life , either . It also portrays a candidate who has spent way too much time worrying about trivial details instead of seeing the big picture not a good thing if you want to climb the corporate ladder ! Some of you will lash out in protest of this , but that doesn ' t change reality . You can either utilize the wisdom or ignore it .
