I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.
I became CEO at the beginning of the hit on old economy stocks. When something like that occurs in your first six months as a CEO of a more traditional branded firm it makes for a fast learning curve.
I grow old learning something new every day.
The spotlight will always be on me but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by.
My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy ever if you want something you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else practice makes perfect.
The role of the musician is to go from concept to full execution. Put another way it's to go from understanding the content of something to really learning how to communicate it and make sure it's well-received and lives in somebody else.
I've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it.
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.
The learning process is something you can incite literally incite like a riot.
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life but in a new way.
If you're going to go through hell... I suggest you come back learning something.
No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.
What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
You cannot open a book without learning something.
Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands you need to be able to throw something back.
Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.
We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences and the future is integration. We all as a people as citizens as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.
But I think Steve's main contribution besides just the pure leadership is his passion for excellence. He's a perfectionist. Good enough isn't good enough. And also his creative spirit. You know he really really wants to do something great.
Leadership is something I was born with.
I'm not up on the Internet but I hear that is a democratic possibility. People can connect with each other. I think people are ready for something but there is no leadership to offer it to them. People are ready to say 'Yes we are part of a world.'
Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want.
I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean first of all it's a way to get information and find out what's going on in the world. But also it helps your imagination.
