stars team games
The last thing you want to do is go down in the history of All-Star game competition as the only injury (his nose was broken by Roberto Hernandez) sustained during the team picture.
long three lines
As long as I can compete, I won't quit. Reaching three-thousand is not the finish line as long as I can contribute.
secret insightful the-end-of-the-day
Ultimately, at the end of the day, you couldn't say you were better than the other person because you knew you had a secret. You knew you had cheated.
nice thinking careers
I haven't given it (achieving 3,000 hits) much thought. I was taught a certain approach, how to come to the ballpark. I try not to do too much thinking about things like that. In this society we measure success in different ways. Three thousand (hits) represents success over a career, not a season. It'll be nice to get to that point.
hands games focus
My approach to every game was to try to erase the games that were before and try to focus on the game at hand.
careers shapes wanted
Early in my career, I decided I never wanted to get out of shape.
high junior played president schools york
I was president of the schools in junior high and high school, got a scholarship to New York University, played a little basketball, and was a celebrity.
recovery entrepreneur small-business
But economic recovery must be earned. And it will be earned by entrepreneurs and it will be earned by small businesses.
iowa reason competing
I'm not competing in Iowa for a reason.
serendipity messages right-time
Politics is a lot of serendipity. You're in the right place and the right time and you've got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn't.
jobs college talking
At AT&T, I learned an awful lot about people, and how important it is to have the right people in the right jobs. And when I say 'right people,' I'm not talking about their college degree or work history; I'm talking about things like bearing - How does this person interact with other people? Can he or she talk to you and not tick you off?
real grateful government
I was brought in by the White House as GM's chairman in 2009, around the time of the bankruptcy, and became CEO later that year. As a company, we were grateful for the government's support. But as GM's financial health began to improve, I could detect no real sense of urgency, or even interest, on the part of the government to relinquish control.
quality want pay
If someone wants to transmit a high-quality service with no interruptions and 'guaranteed this, guaranteed that,' they should be willing to pay for that.
strong goal path
My goal in coming to General Motors was to help restore profitability, build a strong market position and position this iconic company for success. We are clearly on that path.
