In reply to Academic achievements, posted by Rzip on October 25, 2000, at 21:02:27
I think academic achievements may be a source of personal pride at doing well, a means to an end, and a show of the degree of perseverence one has. I do not think academic achievements put one on a higher level than others; only that one knows more about certain topics.
Academics are related to one kind of intelligence, or one type of skill set. Curious people (who come in all shapes and sizes and talents) are I think, true learners, and keep learning in or out of academic settings, and find the world a place full of wonder that can catch their attention in a heartbeat, so one sees a wonder for a heartbeat--or maybe sometimes longer.
