Good advice from the former governor on dealing with tough situations...and David Paterson certainly had them...Speaking to students at Paul Smith's College, Mr. Paterson spoke of the importance of keeping you head held high during a storm...
"Keep your head up and your mouth shut" is advice I have gotten in tough times....There is lots of advice given out by commencement speakers this time of year...
Governor Paterson's is as good as any.
My other favorite is "the World is run by those who show up."
Dependability, honesty, hard work, tempered by compassion....Those are things I would stress if asked to do such a speech...
Since I do a talk show everyday, those interested in my view of life can tune in during the noon hour on AM 1240 for the HOTLINE.
Capitol Confidential » Paterson: When you walk through a storm, keep your head up

If I were doing a speech at a university, one subject that I think would have to come up, is how "stupid", "smart" people are. Not just that they know so much that isn't so, but specifics.
Like a year or so ago when someone decided the definition for a siphon was wrong in the Cambridge dictionary. The MSM all jumped on board and reported it as fact. Not one of these pinheads noticed that the definition was correct all a long. Because they did not have the thinking capacity to do so.
These are the same pinheads that tell us how dumb Sarah is.
That same type cockiness was manifested when telling Tesla the AC motor was impossible to invent.
Or that anthropogenic global warming theory is a fact, when the supporting studies do not even do something as simple as breaking out latent and sensible heat components.
But you are correct that showing up is the most important thing for success.
I will always respect Gov Paterson. I believe he tried to do a lot of things that needed to be done. Many special interests hated him. That means he was a good man.
