That quotation is from Indra K Nooyi who will take over as CEO of PepsiCola on October 1
This was the same attitude I took when I did my Masters in the UK. Plus I was not only foreign, but black and with natural nappy hair and so from day one, I found out what I would have to do to get a distinction, and worked towards it.
Graduating as one of only 14 (along with Safari) out of about 150 was very satisfying, and it brought new respect for me from some of the office staff, most notably the Head of School's secretary. It's amazing what being bright and intelligent can do for you!
