I sat staring staring staring - half lost learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat sound might not yet have been born.
Perhaps to the uninformed it may appear unaccountable that a man should be able to retain in his memory such a variety of learning but the close alliance with each other of the different branches of science will explain the difficulty.
I've seen a lot of the United States having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country and instead of learning about it through a textbook I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers.
People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot.
I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke then traveled around the country learning about different kinds of foods had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago!
I'm interested in all forms of performance yet I think it's difficult to be as equally talented in all of them as they call for such different skills. At the moment I still feel I'm learning and want as much experience and variety as possible.
Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.
I am just learning to notice the different colors of the stars and already begin to have a new enjoyment.
It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.
Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things but learning another way to think about things.
I'm always learning from experiences because each one is different and there are different players involved in the project at the time with their own way of doing things.
I enjoy learning about different periods and people and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are certain things unite everybody.
It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way and always end up learning something I didn't know.
What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school but a different way of looking at the world and learning.
I'm just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.
It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
In Britain you do your job. When you do an American TV show there is a sense of being one with the crew and there is a leadership element which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain you just do it leave and say 'Thanks.'
The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically they grow exponentially.
It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.
Different times need different types of leadership.
Not everybody is created equal and it's important for companies to identify those high potentials and treat them differently accelerate their development and pay them more. That process is so incredibly important to developing first-class leadership in a company.
Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.
I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.
I recognize we will pay more attention when we have different leadership.
Mother Nature comes up against reality and the reality is that the system doesn't work.
