You don't have to earn them, but you won't know they're the best days of your life without having the bad days to compare them to.

..... best is best. You don't have to have an F in a class assignment to know your best grade on an assignment was the 100. It doesn't matter if all your other grades were 99. The 100 is still your best and will feel damn good.

If you get 99s on everything you have nothing to compare. There's neither a bad grade nor a best grade.

Once you get a 100 you now have a best grade and worst grade (or bad grades in comparison to the best grade).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding though.

I can agree that bad grades, or bad days, are not necessary.

You don't need to have something be bad to know when you experience the best.

I second this. I know from personal experience. Those bad days really do make you appreciate even some of the most uneventful and melancholy of days.
