		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to share a wonderful tip which was inspired today by one of my favourite authors and thinkers, Seth Godin: He wrote that a guy asked his friend, the writer David Foster Wallace, &#8220;Say, Dave, how&#8217;d y&#8217;get t&#8217;be so dang smart?&#8221; His answer: &#8220;I did the reading.&#8221; Here&#8217;s the kicker&#8230; no one said the [...]]]></description>
