padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.altgate.com/blog/2009/01/running-reading.html"><P>It's a video mashup of Will Smith talking about the "keys to success in life": running and reading.  I totally agree.  Over the years I've had the privilege of speaking about entrepreneurship several times at Tufts, Babson and a few other schools.  My shtick includes a not-so-eloquent version of this speech.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px;

when other people were eating, I was working."  He summarizes, "<STRONG>the person who works the hardest wins</STRONG>."  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc;

everything has been thought of before.  The trick is to learn from others mistakes. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FEB6B087-9F0A-4123-B0E6-36D4F7F48D8D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
