longer nervous runway took
I was very nervous because it took a lot longer to get down the runway than we predicted.
motivation learning-something-new long
My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long University education that I never had - everyday I'm learning something new.
marijuana long smoking
Smoking marijuana, as long as you leave the nicotine out of it, is certainly no more damaging than having a drink, and I suspect better for you than having a drink.
real long magic
Your employees are your company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen-so long as their needs are being met.
life long process
So I've seen life as one long learning process.
adventure long surfing
Kite surfing is a great way of keeping fit. Kiting is great because you're bouncing over the waves and you're surfing the waves. I do quite long kite surfs-50 miles in a day.
believe long people
Age isn't as important so long as you are surrounded by people you love, doing things you passionately believe in.
long effort way
Making the extra effort to say thanks in a genuine, personal manner goes a long way. It is pleasurable to do, and it encourages more of the same good behavior.
fun long people
There are quite a few things I've done that even I thought might have been one step too far. But if you are willing to make a fool of yourself and make people smile, as long as you do it with a sense of fun, you can get away with it.
thinking years long
So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.
nice long alive
Right now I'm just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.
good-life long risk
Every risk is worth taking as long as it's for a good cause, and contributes to a good life.
club expect flight flying gives members save space time
We expect the first Virgin Galactic space flight to take place in 2008, which gives our Flying Club members time to save up all their miles.
