(A) kicker is incredibly important, and it's most important when you don't have one. A lot of people assume they know what I think of free agency. The truth is, I think it's a very useful tool. Just because we're not signing somebody every day doesn't mean we're not busting our tails. But we're going to go through the process. |
(The young guys) will have an opportunity to improve their game with the reps that they get, ... Sometimes you won't get a chance to see that improvement on the field until something happens. I don't know who that will be, but hopefully all of them will gain experience and confidence as a result of the time they get this week. |
A client might see an exuberant 22-year-old female in the office, but I see a seasoned and energetic business partner with great leadership skills these days. She's way more organized than I am. She's shown a talent for site skills, checking plans against site conditions and saving project dollars with her attention to detail. |
A contractor in Arizona doubled his size in his second year and a contractor in Cincinnati doubled his output in a single year. One guy in Illinois had so many calls he couldn't handle them, so he had to cancel the number. I sold the number to one of his competitors who has the same problem but is better equipped to handle it. |

A guy threw [95] pitches in four innings and we still only had three runs to show for it. I think when that happens and they get their bullpen in, you start wondering what it's going to be like at the end. That's a natural thought, I think, for anybody sitting in that situation. We just didn't get the one hit to break it open. |

A key to our success at the Komen Foundation is that we collaborate with a variety of organizations to provide creative ways for people to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

A lot of us feared they would be just a bunch of individuals. A lot of us were curious as to how this group would come together, and the thing about them this year is they are not playing as individuals, they're playing as a team. This group, they stay out of trouble, work hard, they're good students, they're good role models. |

According to the Christian faith, we in the Western countries have a strong perception that we are the masters of creation. Consequently, we are entitled to use nature for our own purposes. When we do so, the equilibrium between original people and nature is upset. People are alienated from nature and are no longer part of it. |
Advertising will get a customer through the door to your business once, but it is service that will keep them coming back. Advertising is aimed at the masses; customer service is aimed at the individual. Service recovery creates word-of-mouth advertising that is 100 times cheaper and more powerful than traditional advertising. |
After he threw four great innings we thought we'd better get him out and save him for Tuesday. That was a big plus that he was able to come over here and throw strikes and get ground balls and he got us out of innings quick. And we set the tempo early and took a lot of pressure off him by scoring a couple of runs in the first. |
