Grades are getting more and more important in our lives. There are different kinds of grades, like the ones we get in school, or just daily personal grades that you give to people while having contact with them.
There still remains the question what way people should use for grading, the performance or the ability? Can there be the ability, without being able to perform it?.
First of all, every person has different skills and abilities to cope with situations and handle things, but in my opinion, if you have the ability for something, you should be able to carry it out.
The most important property in your life is your individual talent and the way you present it to your fellow-men. If you, for instance, want to get a job, you must certainly have the ability for the job. Nevertheless, no boss will accept your application without the conviction that you will perform your skills.
Sometimes people get better jobs devoid of having as much skills as others have, just because they were able to perform themselves better. Those who have the ability and the much better qualification, but are not able to perform themselves are just not important for other people.
My personal conclusion is therefore that everybody who has distinguished skills should be able to perform himself. It is not enough in today's life just to have a skill, because the important factor is how you are able to work things out.
If you know you have a talent for something, present it to other people, so that they get aware of it, and will be glad to know somebody who could be famous some time!.
Performance brings your life always further, even if you miss some skills.
