people listening coworker
The best public policy is made when you are listening to people who are going to be impacted.
want fulfillment seeking
In seeking success you must also seek fulfillment. Ask yourself not only what you want to be but who you want to be.
country thinking focus
It's absolutely the wrong signal, I think, to those who have entered this country legally or those who may be considering illegal immigration for a lot of benefits to be provided... Emergency medical needs should be met, but otherwise I think send the wrong signal to those who have come into the country legally and those who may be considering illegal immigration. So as you know, I've called for an increase in the border patrol agents. I've looked at that from both the standpoints of drugs and to prevent illegal immigration, but I think that's where the focus should be.
differences awards people
When you're in your nineties and looking back, it's not going to be how much money you made or how many awards you've won. It's really what did you stand for. Did you make a positive difference for people?

agreement play united-states

It's rather unique to have two confirmation hearings back to back here from the same family.
bleed daughters send sons willing
Are you willing to send your own sons and daughters to bleed in Kosovo, ma'am?
husband children women
Women share with men the need for personal success, even the taste for power, and no longer are we willing to satisfy those needs through the achievements of surrogates, whether husbands, children, or merely role models.
heart responsibility self
It is not what I do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through me. God does not want worldly successes, He wants me. He wants my heart in submission to Him. Life is not just a few years to spend on self indulgence and career advancement. It is a privilege, a responsibility, a stewardship to be lived according to a much higher calling, God's calling. This alone gives true meaning to life.
