Fred Smith was a risk taker.  When Fred's Fed Ex company started it was losing a million dollars a month. Fred believed in his idea and took out another bank loan. Now it is one of the top 100 companies in the United States.   Fred Smith was  persistent.  Fred Smith didn't give up when his professor said his idea for FedEx would never work. He kept working toward his goal and the rest is history.   http://www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/theymadeamerica/whomade/images/who_fsmith_image.jpg
