Success in life does not necessarily originate with academic success.

I'm more of a creative learner, ... I do very well in projects, but I was not good at memorizing all of that material in the introductory courses.

But what many psychologists have done, probably because they did well on a test themselves and everyone wants high self esteem, is to create this little box and then do their research inside it.

I had planned to be a psychology major, but I bombed introductory psychology.

There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that's what is unique about them.

There was already a famous Sternberg in psychology and it was obvious there would not be another.
