Um And so I just worked around the clock literally seven o'clock to 11 o'clock at night . Um , today I still am pretty hard worker . Certainly , I'm older now , but I generally try to get as much done as possible every day .
I'm looking for reasonable intelligence . I'm looking for a pretty good work ethic . I'm looking for people that know how to share the credit and get along with other people because you can't do anything by yourself .
And the reason is when you're 27 you , uh you know , you have great potential . You wanna work hard , you wanna make a name for yourself . You want to do something useful when I have the opposite age of 72 the reverse of 27 you , you now realize that something is gonna go wrong at some point .
Let's talk about the value of work ethic , which I believe is the most important ingredient of our success in your personal and professional life . When you worked in the White House for President Carter , one of your colleagues said you were the first person to arrive on the first day of the administration , the last one to leave on the last day , you were rumored to live in your West Wing office and you became semi famous when a magazine described your daily routine , which included regularly eating dinner from the White House vending machines .
Um I don't think is a , as a , as a vice . I think generally the people who are the most successful in the world with some exceptions are people that work very hard at their craft . Uh Maybe they work hard with the young person , they perfected the skills as Tiger Woods did or maybe , uh , they just were the scholar and they just really worked hard early on and they got certain intellectual skills .
