Challenge Quotes A-Z by Author - Page 1 |
I
believe that I was lucky to have suffered. Some people don’t realize that
in suffering there is great potential, because if you are deprived for any reason..
politically, financially, socially or otherwise.. and if you set your mind in
the right direction, you will find that the only way to survive is for you to
excel, by being better so you can be treated better.

I wanted to be the exception to the other kids, but in the right way. We
have a lot of suffering in our part of the world, but that suffering is, in a
way, a blessing. Obviously, I could not afford to go to school without a scholarship,
so that meant I had to excel in order to get one.

China has really succeeded because of its
stability. So my feeling is, how are they
going to maintain this fantastic stability
in a very fast changing economic situation.
I think this is a challenge we face, how
the global region will evolve in stability
with such a fast growth. If they succeed
to do that, no doubt, in the next generation
it will be the major area of the world,
economically.

I've got the greatest job in the world.
There's no other job in government where
cause and effect is so tightly coupled where
you can make a difference every day in so
many different ways and in so many different
people's lives. It's a great challenge.

It is clear that global challenges must
be met with an emphasis on peace, in harmony
with others, with strong alliances and international
consensus. Imperfect as it may be, there
is no doubt that this can best be done through
the United Nations.. not merely to preserve
peace but also to make change, even radical
change, without violence.

We will have an unchallenged, open, panoramic opportunity on a global scale
to demonstrate the finest aspects of what we know in this country: peace, freedom,
democracy, human rights, benevolent sharing, love, the easing of human suffering.
Is that going to be our list of priorities or not?

If you have a task to perform and are vitally interested in it, excited and
challenged by it, then you will exert maximum energy. But in the excitement, the

the weariness.

People would ask me how I could stand the long campaigning, how I could stand
being charged with the responsibilities of a great nation, one of the most powerful

Never give in.. never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield

A lot of compelling stories in the world aren't being told, and the
fact that people don't know about them compounds the suffering. To me, there is
value in bearing witness to what is happening to people who are living their lives
with great dignity in the face of horror.

I was always acting primarily with shareholder interests in mind. It's also
true I've always had a fairly moralistic attitude to business, and would not do
anything that I considered improper. As a consequence, I have occasionally pursued
issues during my career that other people might have avoided.

I think Virgin Blue is still a very promising and exciting business. Now,
I know that's not a view that's widely held in the market but I think the market
is simply throwing it into the too-hard basket at the present time because of
the oil price events. But we think it is still a very exciting business.

Creating a close connection to those you do business with has its many risks,
rewards and consequences. There are few things in business I have encountered
that are more difficult than firing someone, particularly if that someone has
always been, or has become a friend. On the flipside, I have been rewarded with
many friends

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and

We're responsible for the creation of the PC industry. The whole idea of

Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We’ve strengthened
the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high.. and those from
junior high to high school. But, that critical step taking students from high
school into adulthood is badly broken. And it can no longer support the weight
it must bear.
Melinda

I went to the brink many times. A couple of times I thought "I'm gone..
This is it." But then you would just keep working. I think if you're close
to the brink and just make sure that you work twice as hard and put twice as much
effort into everything and the people around you and everything, you should come
through.

I don't want to be just a voice on the phone. I have to get to know these
guys face-to-face and develop a sincere relationship. That way, if we run into
problems in a deal, it doesn't get adversarial. We trust each other and have the
confidence we can work things out.

It's a very, very tough market. So unless you do a really good job, you buy
the right products from the manufacturers, you service the customer, they keep
coming back, they bring their friends in, it's all about numbers, numbers, numbers.

I'm an optimist. I've always believed the
future is going to be better than the past.
And I also believe I have a role in that.
The great thing about human beings, myself
in particular, is that I can change. I can
do better. If you can get up every day,
stay optimistic, and believe the future
is better than the past, those few things
get you through a lot of tough times.
