thinking trying unpredictable
I think it's because I'm unpredictable. I view every situation, every race, and every candidate differently I try not to rely on something that worked before.
thinking long waiting
As long asthe audience or the public perceives you to be sincere in your approach and not petty, they will think it's fair and they will wait for the other person's response. But if they sense it's petty or the slightest bit unfair, they'll turn on you right away.
mean thinking reason
Just because someone thinks he is being attacked by the media doesn't mean he is. Many times the media actually is being fair, and they're attacking for good reason.
unique thinking people
If you are a good communicator, be unique: put yourself in your own commercials and do something a little different. To the extent you can focus on what it is you want to change, what it is you know how to change, and what it is you think will make life better for other people, you're going to do better.
thinking people judgment
In general, I think man-on-the- street ads and endorsement spots are having less and less effect on people. The electorate's getting very sophisticated, and they want to make their own judgments.
thinking laziness deep-down
There is a - deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.
strong thinking rocks
Everybody fears the unknown. But I have a strong feeling there's something bigger than us. I don't think all this exists because some rocks happened to collide. I'm at peace. When it comes, I'll be fine, calm. I'll miss life, though. Especially my family.
unique thinking people
I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven't reached their potential. I think I'm pretty good at developing talent.
thinking
I think the media is dangerously close to creating their own product. They used to cover the product, which was whatever's happening.
thinking decision made
I think the worst decision is usually no decision. If you make the wrong decision you can usually course-correct, but if you don't make it, you've already made it, and it's usually the bad one.
smart eye thinking
I think I have a good eye for talent. I think I'm smart enough to figure out what the mission is and achieve it. I achieve it by hiring good people.
mean thinking sky
Does Rupert like me? I think so, but it doesn't matter. When I go up to the magic room in the sky every three months, if my numbers are right, I get to live. If not, I'm killed. Our relationship isn't about love-it's about arithmetic. Survival means hitting your numbers. I've met or exceeded mine in 56 straight quarters. The reason is: I treat Rupert's money like it is mine.
eye thinking people
Almost everything I do is related to my ability to hire good people. I don't take much of the credit myself. I think I have a good eye.
running thinking office
One of the reasons I'm in this business is because I have absolute respect for the people who say, "You know what? I think I can make this a little better and I'm willing to get in and try." Because, I'll tell you, there are a hell of a lot of reasons to stay away from running for office today.
