Never fold under pressure? Is that the same as don't ever quit? I knew a guy who gave it a shot; he quit right away. It wasn't his thing. He went on to become an announcer at a big casino near here. I was happy for him.
As for hard work; it is. The entire job (RCA) is full of challenges: having vehicle, learning routes, part-time, discovering how incompetent management is, and more.... It's not for those who want a job, it's for those that need one ;-) . Or those that have a calling for it.
mail and boxes? never-mind management or other parts of the job. i get the jist of his philosophy and experience. It's the "path of least resistance". Smart, but I wonder if anyone in the past ever thought, "just put the cotton in the bag?"- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -β
