business heart years
Preserve the core, and let the rest flux. In their wonderful bestseller Built to Last, authors James Collins and Jerry Porras make a convincing argument that long-lived companies are able to thrive 50 years or more by retaining a very small heart of unchanging values, and then stimulating progress in everything else. At times "everything" includes changing the business the company operates in, migrating, say, from mining to insurance. Outside the core of values, nothing should be exempt from flux. Nothing.
years lasts looks
We're just at the beginning of the beginning of all these kind of changes. There's a sense that all the big things have happened, but relatively speaking, nothing big has happened yet. In 20 years from now we'll look back and say, 'Well, nothing really happened in the last 20 years.'
technology media years
Attention deficit is no longer the supposed domain of Generation Y's who were brought up on a diet of social media and new technology. A recent study revealed 65 percent of 55-64 year olds surf, text and watch television simultaneously.
inspirational life years
Singularity is the point at which "all the change in the last million years will be superseded by the change in the next five minutes."
lying self years
A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation. Humans are not the culmination of this trajectory but an intermediary, smack in the middle between the born and the made... The arc of complexity and open-ended creation in the last four billion years is nothing compared to what lies ahead.
against factor hearts huge played shut today
We just shut down (in the past). The intimidation factor is huge against this team. But today we just played our hearts out.

Being a private school and having a player like this helps. It can't be anything but a positive influence on your program.
bad bit economy softer
We do think the economy is a bit overheated. Architecting a softer landing, if that's what (Greenspan) is doing, is probably not a bad idea.

against appreciate broken coaching hand heck highlight putting senior seven six spent tape time together year
I tell him sometimes I didn't appreciate him as much as I should have when I was coaching him. But when I spent time putting together his highlight tape for recruiting, wow. His senior year against Archbishop Ryan, he must have broken six or seven tackles on a long run, put a hand down to keep his balance. He's got a heck of a will not to be tackled.
missed three
I still had my confidence. I don't think I've ever missed three in a row.
immediate information march reaction
On March 7, to get this packet of information is a little startling. Most of my immediate reaction is not printable.
create enslaved exert gadgets pattern power serving sort supposed therefore
Many of us have this neo-Amish pattern in our use of technology, and it's our own way to exert some sort of power over it. These gadgets are supposed to be serving us, but we have so many of them that we feel like we're enslaved to our servants. So we create restrictions to show who's boss. Like, I may be a slave to e-mail, but I don't text-message, therefore I really have the upper hand.
