I.Q vs A.Q

I.Q = Intelligent Quotient
A.Q = Attitude Quotient

A Yale University present some years ago gave an advice to a former present of Ohio state:

Always be kind to your A and B student. Someday one of them will return to your campus as a good professor. And also be kind to your C students. Someday one of them will return and build a two-million-dollar science laboratory.
***
Wow, wOW and WOW! what a powerful speech. There's always hope for those who doesnt do well academically! (but well, please dont use this as a leeway not to work hard!)

There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference.
The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.

But i feel that this story can bring another message too. Dont just persue life. You may be at the top of everything, i.e. a very successful career, top student in school, ace relationship with family and friends.. but yet, persue the life Giver, who can give you more abundantly.

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
-Matthew 10:39
