I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.
For wide swaths of training and education there are valuable spillovers which mean that the private sector needs support from the government. That is why I have been so determined to protect and grow apprenticeships and put higher education on a sustainable footing.
The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind to train it to the use of its own powers rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.
The dilemma of modern medicine and the underlying central flaw in medical education and most of all in the training of interns is the irresistible drive to do something anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors in the face of ignorance.
The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools equipped with tortures called an education.
No education can be of true advantage to young women but that which trains them up in humble industry in great plainness of living in exact modesty of dress.
My hope was that organizations would start including this range of skills in their training programs - in other words offer an adult education in social and emotional intelligence.
Education is not the piling on of learning information data facts skills or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.
Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls which molds and develops men.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
My mother was always working for a job so I guess I was always trained that I should have multiple jobs multiple aspirations. And I remember she had multiple aspirations always hearing about her dreams and things she did in the past and things she wanted to do.
I go to the gym five days a week and I have a personal trainer. I am on a strict diet which is kind of hard to keep up with on the road but I stick to it as well as I can.
I am fussy about my diet and straining my voice. I know sounds a bit over the top. But I'm not as bad as I used to be. These days I don't drink alcohol for five days before a show - very dehydrating for the vocal cords and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare.
I put on fifteen pounds of muscle so that was a lot of eating chicken and a high protein low-carb diet. Also a lot of heavy lifting and a very different kind of training with an ex-navy SEAL guy who wanted to kill me every time I got with him. In a good way.
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training diet and mental approach.
The circuit training program along with a healthy clean diet is the way to excellent results.
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.
I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works but each one launches another. Every constraint even dullness frees up a new design.
Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.
A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with that have been trained in my vision and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.
Over the past 20 years I have noticed that the most flexible dynamic inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which like it or not is modern reality.
Before I pitch any game from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series I'm scared to death.
Everything one does in life even love occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death.
I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.
The principle that human nature in its psychological aspects is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.
