A team sport is not very good for me, because I can't take losing.
I was not good at team sports, I have to say. I'm quite good at individual sports, but I was not good at team sports, so I wasn't good at baseball and football.
I'm not a team sports person type person, so I probably would have been good at tennis, because I like tennis. But my parents really didn't push me. I think if my parents would have guided me and stay committed, I could have played any sport I wanted to, but I never did.
You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.
I just go out and do what I can to help the team win, try and be consistent in having some good at-bats and getting some timely hits and whatnot.
The thing is, I don't do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.
I get asked a lot about my legacy. For me, it's being a good teammate, having the respect of my teammates, having the respect of the coaches and players. That's important to me.
Good third-down teams are teams that usually have success in this league.
It's good to fight with your brothers, and it's good to tease them to give them advice.
Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.
A good designer has technical knowledge - don't treat her like someone who's there to decide whether something should be pink or orange.
Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.
I don't know much about Mauresmo apart from the fact she played great tennis. Is she a good technician? I don't know those parameters.
When I was 16, I really discovered good stuff like Detroit techno or gabba from Holland.
We presumably believe that most of the technological progress over the arc of humanity to date has been good. I don't see any argument to go back to 1600.
I've got less respect for our politicians, for instance, who are not worried or apparently don't even consider the fact that Apple and a lot of the other good technology companies are going to create an automatic car. Think of the jobs that's going to cause to be gone.
The last time I saw Ted Kennedy was a generation after my first meeting, at the Senate subway below the Capitol on Obama's Inauguration Day. He was his usual gregarious and gracious self - with beaming smile and booming voice wishing my husband and me good luck with our pregnancy and expressing his excitement about the new president.
In the end, Ted Kennedy was a politician, plain and simple. Yet he embodied how politics and public service can be successfully intertwined. You can't be a good public servant without being a good politician. Kennedy was both.
Confidence is everything. Confidence is what makes that simple white tee and jeans look good.
Nigeria is a difficult place. It is not a country for the faint of heart. On a good day, when our larger cities such as Abuja, Lagos, and Kano are filled with the teeming masses going in so many different directions, flogged by the heat and sun, bumping down uneven roads all in the name of 'the hustle,' it can appear chaotic.
