Then there was Dr. Cadbury. He was absolutely brilliant. I am pretty sharp but that guy was a couple of orbits above me. I wanted to take a class he taught but I read the syllabus and I knew I couldn't get an A. I figured I could get a B however. I took the class. That SOB gave me a C. (Side note: I graduated Phi Beta Kappa. I was not a poor student.) I went to see him and showed him how by HIS syllabus, I had earned a B. He said "come back in a week." This happened 5 times. I was about to go postal on him. He changed my grade when I came back the 6th time.
And. Having a rewarding career in sales? Persistence is a crucial trait that is needed. Dr. Cadbury, for all of his awful egotistical BS, trained me a little on this.
