Smart vs Good Grades

I'm amazed at how some educated people can actually confuse academic accomplishment with 'being smart'.

There is a chasmic difference between "being" anything and "doing" things. Good grades mean you did something.

In other words, smart people do things in smart ways. A smart person lives their life in a way that other less-smart people will envy.

To just have good grades and then manage your life in a totally dumb way is not to 'be smart'.
