sports school thinking
I think life is sort of like a competition, whether it's in sports, or it's achieving in school, or it's achieving good relationships with people. And competition is a little bit of what it's all about.
latin thinking discipline
I think Latin has some logic to it and there was a discipline.
respect thinking people
One of the people that I respect the most now, a person I think has done a heck of a lot for this world as a leader, is Margaret Thatcher. She helped create a world that offers us a lot of excitement as we look to the next century.
believe thinking past
You never want to think the best things are in the past. You want to get yourself to believe that the best things are going to be in the future.
thinking world today
What turned me on then, and turns me on even today - and when the time comes from me to retire from management I think I'd still be interested in it - is that everything that happens in the world affects the price of securities.
dream hard-work thinking
I think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent, and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build, and what can happen to you and your family.
thinking experience products
I think we are a product of all our experiences.
ages capitalist children create disney four maybe system
Our company is working with Disney to create a game for children between the ages of maybe four and 12, so we can teach them what the capitalist system is all about.
new-york team school
And it was where I learned how to play tennis and eventually became captain of the tennis team at the school and was on the Junior Davis Cup in New York City.
mother hurt fighting
And when we used to play and fight in the streets in Brooklyn and I would get hurt or something, my mother would always come out and save me. So that sort of postponed the inevitable about getting a good beating, without having somebody to come and save you.
war people challenges
I wonder how many people would have thought at the end of World War II that the capitalist system would be one that was meeting the challenges and making things better for people as we approach the 21st century.
united-states financial whole
The whole financial industry is consolidating in the United States.
greatness views people
From the business point of view, always encouraging the people in our company to own stock in the company, and if we're going to build something great, to have a lot of people share in the benefits of that greatness.
teacher home school
I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had, like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.
