Contrary to stodgy opinions, young men have a right to go out. They want to hang with their peers. They want to talk to women. They want to show off a little of their success. Nothing wrong with any of that – as long as they’re careful.
Our camps and workshops offer a space where girls of color can learn computer science and coding principles alongside their peers, with mentorship from female role models who have established themselves in tech fields where women, and minority women in particular, tend to be underrepresented.
Whether it’s performing a concert with my quartet or sitting in with my peers, enjoying musical conversations at home with my brothers or hanging and playing choro with my friends – sharing moments in that bright space of music are the happiest times.
I don’t want to make some super cliche comment about how much more acceptable gaming is. I think it was always acceptable for me and my peers. But I think it’s become more so in pop culture, media, stuff like that – people with money have discovered that they can make money by marketing to us.
I’ve never made an All-Star Game, but I’ve always had my peers’ and coaches’ respect around the league.
It’s cool to have critical success because it’s always nice for your peers to say, ‘Good job.’ But who cares about them?
There’s nothing wrong with being respected by your peers. There’s nothing wrong with trying to do your best. There’s nothing wrong with success. There’s not even anything wrong with trying to get a raise. There’s nothing wrong with that.
I have a very good relationship with my peers both on and off the pitch.
I come from Oregon, which is this super-white state, so I didn’t really have a lot of Asian friends in high school and college. And my background’s in comedy, and your friends are just your peers in comedy, which is a whole mix of people.
When I was younger, I did a TV show in the U.K. for a couple years, and I learned a lot from that. It taught me a lot about being known amongst your peers and having to deal with a lot of derision from them. It’s not easy being known as ‘the kid from the TV show.’ Not in school it’s not.
When you’re a musician, you are around your peers a lot, like Slipknot and Alice In Chains… you name the band. We’re all just kind of friends.
You have been tried by twelve good men and true, not of your peers but as high above you as heaven is of hell, and they have said you are guilty.
I was really lucky about two things about my life as a kid: I had awesome parents, and I had awesome peers.
I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that’s all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.
In my grandfather’s lab, scientists did independent research, and peers reviewed and commented on its merits. Politics, he taught me, had no place in the scientific process.
All my friends and peers keep asking me when I’m going to rest – I just tell them it’s another dirty four-letter word!
If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself – your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.
Students raised on Park Avenue are born into family situations in which overachieving merely maintains the status quo, and therefore the market is primed for anyone offering services that provide an edge on local peers.
The people who founded America, who fought for its freedom, did not look to anyone else to get them out of their troubles. They took matters into their own hands and answered only to God and their peers. In today’s world, sacrifice and hardship are not in the everyday language, and instant gratification is foremost.
Our operations in China are materially similar to our U.S. peers who also operate and have employees there.
A lot of my peers don’t think about collaborating the way I do. My approach is to imagine my world. The Jason Wu woman isn’t just floating around in a beautiful dress. I like to know where she’s going, what she likes. I’m not just in the fashion business. I’m in the lifestyle business.
Students who learn to collaborate and negotiate – on Capitol Hill, in the board room, in everyday life – will outperform peers who have higher test scores.
This joy of discovery is real, and it is one of our rewards. So too is the approval of our work by our peers.
I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I’m doing.
Seattle was my favorite team growing up, so I know a little bit about Coach Karl and his history. He’s one of the best coaches in the game, well-respected by much of his peers and much of his players.
If you have a personality predisposed to liberalism, you might gravitate more to the artsy crowd or the anti-establishment crowd. And then those peers will affect you, and they will give you values, and you will copy them.
I think the biggest thing for everybody in this league is the respect of their peers. A lot of the things we do, the way we compete, is for everybody in this league to respect as good players. Whether GMs see it or not or people on the outside, we want the respect of players.
We’ve always been kind of an underground band in a way that had the respect of our peers on the road. I like to say we’re the world’s most famous opening act because we’ve opened for every huge band on the planet.
I don’t have to do anything outrageous. I just feel like if I come and be completely who I am and completely who I am to this game and give the same to my peers, to my teammates, these coaches, I feel like that’s all we need to do.
Any honor is an honor. You can’t really say which one is better than the next, but it’s always wonderful when you’re honored by your peers for your work.
When you’re young and queer and closeted, you can end up in this place where you regard your straight peers as the enemy.
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds will have the most debt, and then, being less likely than their affluent peers to go straight into high paying jobs, they will spend most of their working lives trying but failing to pay off that debt.
My peers say I have made a difference. That means more to me than winning an Oscar.
When I want an opinion, I’ll get it from my peers – from men of vision, like our great railroad builders… Stanford, Huntington, Dinsmore… fellows with imaginations broad enough to span the continent.
I would say that awards are for children. Because children need a tangible representation of their achievement. And as adults, you have to settle for the respect and admiration of your peers.
With legitimate journalists I’ve always had a great time – I’ve never gone out of my way to court the press. That’s probably cost me some money, but I’ve always had the respect of my peers.
If I’m judged against my peers, rather than anyone else we could both think of, then I reckon I deserve to make records.
Children who play regularly with their peers are most likely to achieve the highest levels of adjustment as adults.
I very much wanted to be accepted by my peers, to be considered a serious journalist.
If one thing that bothers me about acting, it’s that there’s no clear-cut number one. The closest you can get is winning an Academy Award, and I’m going to work on that if it takes me the next 50 years. To my peers, it will mean that I’m the best!
None of my peers avoided prison. None of ’em.
A P2P business is a company that creates a platform which allows individuals or ‘peers’ to directly buy and sell from each other. This activity has sometimes been called the ‘sharing economy.’ Some are wary of these new companies and the challenge they pose to the established market.
It’s not surprising to see in my own work, looking back, and in the work of some of my peers, an attention to family. It’s nice to write a book that does tend toward significance and meaning, and where else are you sure of finding it?
I wanted to build respect with my peers… I felt like I had done that throughout my WWE career. I really felt it and knew it was there when I got injured.
But there was a lot of pressure to achieve and to get things right, whether in school, on stage or with my peers and family.
I can do my job with the best of my peers in the National Football League.
Bureaucratic advancement means fewer peers, more span of control, generally an increasing information-pump function, and increased distance from the actual implementation of whatever it is the organization does.
I hope to be a source of change and inspiration to my peers, empowering them to reach out and take action that will ensure the healthy survival of all of our species and ecosystems.
My biggest fear growing up was that I would end up in prison. That was the fate of growing numbers of my peers.
If you let society and your peers define who you are, you’re the less for it.
There are not enough female VCs in an industry so traditionally dominated by males. There are not enough female mentors who are actively engaged with female founders. We need women VCs and entrepreneurs to stand up, get loud, and help guide their peers.
College dropouts with significant debt struggle with repayment over the course of their lives and do not receive the benefits afforded to their peers who have debt but obtain higher-paying jobs as a result of college completion.
My first day as a manager was at Digital Equipment in Atlanta. I was a sales rep. I was promoted from among my peers, so one day I was a peer, and the next day I was their boss.
