Date: 2009-01-21 02:27 pm (UTC)FedEx was founded by Fredrick Smith in 1973. Smith was also the company’s first CEO, and he remained in that position until March 1998. Smith got this idea about improving the existing express delivery system while he was an undergraduate student at Yale University... Fred Smith recognized this and presented a paper describing the existing system and recommended improvements to it. Smith received a ‘C’ grade for his efforts.
Obviously, Smith was not discouraged by the letter grade as is evident from the current standing of Fedex.
