When you are piling things on top of each other, by nature you will have a pyramid shape. Your mass will be bigger at the bottom, smaller than what you have up higher. When you have wave action, if it is going close to the top, it will start working its way through the structure, which can erode it and create a failure. |
When you go out there 162 times, you've got to feel like you've got a chance to win every night. That goes a long way. You've got to feel like the people that you're working for want you to win, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to help you win. From everything I've heard and seen, that's what Bob wants to do. |
When you have a person who walks into a cocktail party, and within five minutes everybody knows they are a survivor of 9-11 - that's not a good sign, ... The person with strong resilience accepts the trauma as part of their life_but it is just a part of their life. They have a life, a self, that goes beyond that trauma. |
When you're at this point and you're trying to get some things done and you've got some goals set, it's important each week that you prepare well, because you don't ever want to think, 'What if?' ... So if you hope to keep any momentum going . . . winning can help but certainly losing can set you back a little bit, too. |
When you're making a comedy about really serious issues, you're kind of in the position of being an idiot savant. You're using the vocabulary of broad comedy to talk about what's most important. And I don't have a Michael Moore-like urge to offend people or get people angry at me. If anything, that idea stresses me out. |
When you're trying to learn and establish yourself and be consistent in the major leagues, it's hard to do that with the amount of pressure everybody from the outside is putting on you. But obviously all three of us were able to continue to be successful, move on and do the things everybody expected us to be able to do. |
When you've got a team that's been winning for a long time and knows what they're doing and knows how to go about their business, you don't have to say a lot. If you're trying to encourage people to bear down and take advantage of the opportunities and stuff, I'm a little more vocal this spring than I normally would be. |
Whenever you get a traumatic event happening in society, you tend to see certain reactions to it, such as irritability, depression, confused thinking and sleep problems, ... In that context, rational decision-making becomes very difficult. People tend to begin to let their thought processes be guided by their anxieties. |
Where the credit is really due is in the early part of Greenspan's tenure: being faced with the aftershocks of the Wall Street crash in 1987 and dealing with that quite well. He confronted some very serious potential crises and got us to a point where we avoided them and are better off than we might have been otherwise. |
Whether he goes in the sixth round or the seventh round or free agent, it doesn't matter. He's the same guy. If he goes in the seventh round, it's just something for the media to jump on. My point to him was you can't be basketball maybe, football maybe. It's got to be animal or vegetable. Not both. He bought into that. |
While our real estate allocations may have dropped from 10 percent down to 7, the difference was often made up by increasing offshore real estate holdings. Of course, that only makes sense for the most wealthy clients, because for smaller ones it's not worthwhile to split assets into 2 percent and 3 percent allocations. |
Whilst it may be too early for us to widen our investigation into the arena of corruption, I certainly have not ruled this out. I have indicated to you that many of the individuals that you wished to hear evidence from may be the very people that could be central to our criminal inquiry, either as witnesses or suspects. |
Why is it coming to Idaho? Because we've never had a coal-fired plant, because we have excellent air, excellent water, and excellent soil. I come from, born and raised and lived in the midwestern state of Indiana where we had coal-fired plants all over the place. And yes we had asthma, yes there was always soot falling. |
Will Roberts, who had played at Wilmington, and I worked together at the Delaware basketball camps. I knew Will from playing summer basketball with him a lot. He asked me what I was going to do. I actually had a baby on the way and had to decide on something. I sat down with coach Barker, and things took off from there. |
With an estimated 13 billion chickens in China alone, this project represents a tremendous opportunity to further grow and diversify the Company's revenue stream. We believe that the successful demonstration will also open up opportunities in other parts of the world that have been affected by this devastating outbreak. |
