The late Dave Thomas, founder of the Wendy’s Restaurant chain, illustrates the learning value of humility in his book Well Done: The Common Guy’s Guide to Everyday Success.  He wrote, “I got my M.B.A. long before my G.E.D. I even have a photograph of me in my M.B.A. graduation outfit – a snazzy knee length work apron.
