I also find it so interesting the interaction between the spectator and the runner and the runner with himself.  It is quite beautiful to see how something as simple as a clap or cheer can really motivate someone to keep pushing forward, or run faster. Each runner taking part has different motivations and individual goals they are competing with as they run, but they come together and share this experience with the whole city and as we encourage them, they inspire those of us standing on the sidelines even more.</p> </blockquote>http://suzannexie.tumblr.com/post/230559995http://suzannexie.tumblr.com/post/230559995Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:57:10 -0800<img src="http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kselqnQ0i61qz9peso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Happy Halloween!

He lists some basic tenets of slow capital:</p> <p>1) doesn’t rush to conclusions and doesn’t expect entrepreneurs to do so either</p> <p>2) flows into a company based on the company’s needs, not the investor’s needs</p> <p>3) starts small and grows with the company as it grows</p> <p>4) has no set timetable for getting liquid: slow capital is patient capital</p> <p>5) takes the time to understand the company and the people who make it up</p>http://suzannexie.tumblr.com/post/228708984http://suzannexie.tumblr.com/post/228708984Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:08:46 -0700
