At school, what the teacher teaches and what grade you make in the class is of lesser value than what YOU think about the material. This is our live. Our thoughts. Our actions. Our choice.

Grade is secondary to making our own formation of ideas and beliefs and critically thinking about the subject material.

Which brings me to the formation of knowledge and some thoughts on it...
Two quotes come to mind--from Socrates and The Bible.

In Proverbs it says, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge". I couldn't begin to tell you what I think this truly means. But it is worth thinking about. Fear, in this sense, means reverence and awe. Fear of the Lord.. Reverence for His wrath, His justice, His holiness, and knowing the Lord, I think is what this is talking about. The reverence we hold of Him, and knowing that he knows us inside and out, and sees all of our actions, is definently something to think about.

Second, is what Socrates talks about. Now Socrates was considered by many (and an oracle told him) to be the wisest man amoung Athens. How he responds, is "I guess I am considered the wisest man because I realize that I know nothing". He admits his ignorance, and doesn't forsume that he knows the answer. Instead he starts from the root that he is ignorant. I don't know where exactly I was going with this, but I think it is definently worth thinking about.

Last verse to close with,
"Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus:
who being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness..."
