believe bus game hard kids next school seems until wife
It seems hard to believe in May that my wife and two kids will go to a game until 10:30 p.m., ... and then try to make the 7 a.m. school bus the next day.
believe discussion emotional exposed since time
C6 has exposed the headlamps for the first time since 1962, and believe me, there was a lot of emotional discussion around that,
believe book thinking
I wrote the book based on a blog that I keep. I also tweet. I don't think that for an incredibly old fart I'm totally behind the power curve. I really believe that the essentials of human relationships remain the same.
believe age internet
I believe in the age of the Internet, Facebook and Twitter, that relationships are everything.
believe secret world
The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.
reading believe book
I don't believe in holy writ. Buy fifty books or twenty-five books, take three weeks off, read them and make up your own theory. The fact that you end up literally burning twenty-two out of twenty-five books is beside the point.
friends believe ideas
Quite simply, no matter how hard you try, no matter how "open" you are, you'll end up surrounded by "yes people." It's hard not to believe people who are repeating your own ideas. Resist the temptation.
believe long waiting
The most important and visible outcropping of the action bias in excellent companies is their willingness to try things out, to experiment. If you wait until you believe you are safe, sure to be without occasional foolish feelings, you've most likely waited too long.
business stupid believe
Anybody who is an entrepreneur is a person who essentially has impaired judgment. The odds of success are zilch. This valley is loaded to the gills with a whole lot of totally insane people who honest to God believe that they can be the next Bill Gates or the next Scott McNealy. And that is genuinely stupid.
believe way helping
Statistically and emotionally, I believe that the way I can be of help to society is by doing what I know and what I've been good at.
funny flower believe
I found myself declaiming, full flower, for an hour on the "utmost importance and urgency" of Blogging, telling him in no uncertain terms that, especially in a high-end niche business, Blogging is "the premier way" to have "intimate conversations" with his Clients. Funny thing, I believe it!
apple brothers cancer cross easy eventually mission national program red vice
I started out with the Big Brothers program and then went to the American Cancer Society, where I was eventually the national vice president. I'm a mission kind of guy. The Red Cross was an easy mission to embrace, like Chevrolet and apple pie.
charge design dog team
My charge to the design team was for them to do the meanest, scrappiest, street-fighting dog they could sketch.

We'll be paying the same amount of money for tickets,
