What's this?

Exactly; I used to say about my high school valedictorians...


... who numbered 4 or 5 in a big school, and all of whom were focused entirely on grades and nothing else, that they were like thoroughbred racehorses: Everything is great, until one of them breaks a foot. Then you have to shoot him.

Give me the hard striving B student every time.
