When I was a child, I had a C in one of my classes, my dad asked why I didn't have a B, I worked harder next term and got a B, proud of myself, I went to my dad with my marks and he asked me why I didn't have an A. When I got an A he asked why it wasn't an A+. At the time, I thought, "there's no pleasing the man." But looking back, I realize the message was to work to my potential, not just to what it takes to get by. It is a lesson I didn't even know I learned. It has done me well to know it.
