The power of the computer is starting to spread.

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.

I don't start with a design objective I start with a communication objective. I feel my project is successful if it communicates what it is supposed to communicate.

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete.

I started on the use of the Internet for scientific communication. Our research group was one of the very first to make really systematic use of it as a way of managing research projects.

If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets the number one priority is how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth you get into communication problems.

Any problem big or small within a family always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.

I'd be happy to be taken as a woman - and that's what I was initially trying to do when I started throwing on dresses and stuff. But that wasn't going to happen because everyone kept calling me sir. So I thought I'd change the method and just start wearing what I wanted to wear.

I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision but he was right.

I was born left-handed but I was made to use my other hand. When I was writing 'Famished Road ' which was very long I got repetitive stress syndrome. My right wrist collapsed so I started using my left hand. The prose I wrote with my left hand came out denser so later on I had to change it.

As far as friendships go things change even without the fame. People start moving on. I have a few friends that are married and are starting to have kids and I'm like 'Oh my goodness gracious - that's so insane.' I also have friends who are just doing their own thing which is cool.

There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance. Miss that moment - and you start to decline.

For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.

When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991 I was confident that women would play an ever more important role but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world.

Many a revolution started with the actions of a few. Only 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence. A few hanging together can lead a nation to change.

I think it true that you know sometimes things start to change even before a government changes and actually I think you can begin to see even the Labour machine beginning to understand that it has become over-reliant on targets and processes that local governments have been over-bossed and bullied.

And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?

Well what was called the blessed hope of the Bible is that one day Jesus Christ would come back again start a whole new era that this world order that we know it would change into something that would be wonderful that we'd call the millennium.

Remember each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace and the message will spread quicker than you think.

Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.

People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.

Don't knock the weather nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

To change ones life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.

A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.
