There needs to be a bigger focus on creative innovation versus business models and cash flow.
People think that, somehow, size makes you uncoordinated or incompetent. There is a lot of size discrimination out there, and I see the difference in the way people treated me when I was 360 pounds versus how they treat me when I’m 290 – from the industry to day-to-day people on the street.
Coaching takes patience. I’m more enthused when teaching players who want it versus when I have to.
The most scared I’d ever been was the first time I sang at a rugby match, Australia versus New Zealand, in front of one hundred thousand people. I had a panic attack the night before because people have been booed off and never worked again… just singing one song, the national anthem.
Avoid needlepoint tweezers as you can easily injure yourself. And very square tweezers can shear the hair versus plucking it out from the root, causing the appearance of an ingrown.
Rapping just gave me something to do versus the streets.
Politics isn’t about left versus right; it’s about top versus bottom.
One city can look at other cities relative to their city and learn something. It’s a matter of sharing the patterns of what exists in one society based on landscape or cultural values versus other cities.
I just think anytime you go through experiences, you get better – whether it’s something as simple as scheduling, days off, shells practice versus padded practices, do we defer the coin toss, do we take the ball, do we want to take a timeout in this situation?
A lot of times people are caught between doing the things they have to do versus following their passion and I’m someone who, at a very young age chose to be of service.
I honestly go back and forth in my head about using advanced and innovative technologies for creating my characters. There’s something more ‘real’ and charming when the characters aren’t perfect. It’s the difference between anything that’s built by a computer and machine versus the same thing being made by hand.
I’ve really learned over the years how to control my adrenaline and let it all out when they shoot the gun versus letting the crowd and the lights and the camera get to me.
I got into my first fight, Democrat versus Republican, in second grade. I won.
When a crime is committed, only the victim and the victim’s close circle experience the event as pain, terror, death. To people hearing or reading about it, crime is a metaphor, a symbol of the ancient battles fought every day: evil versus good, chaos versus order.
There may be no issue that better illustrates the differences between Republicans and Democrats than energy. Consider it the ‘all of the above’ strategy for reducing gas prices, versus the ‘all pain, no gain’ plan for punishing those who emit carbon (like you).
We should take the time to learn and understand how to make the money work for us versus working for the money, and do your due diligence and understand what it is that you’re investing in.
At the bottom of a Peretti novel is the biblical view of things, the Christian message. Whether you’re a Christian or not, you’re still going to have to deal with good versus evil.
I think fiction lends itself to messiness rather than the ideal, and plays well with the ironies surrounding what happens versus what should happen.
Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it’s better, and in a lot of ways it’s worse. That’s life, right?
There’s probably a little more creative freedom in cable versus network, a little less of a committee looking over everyone’s shoulder, but it depends on the network; it depends on the show; it depends on who the head writer or show runner is and what track record they have.
As far as feeling freedom in my career now versus five years ago… I think if I feel any more free it’s simply because of the experiences that I’ve had, and the wisdom I’ve accumulated from that time.
I think there’s too much emphasis on making sure our corporations are OK versus making sure our people are OK.
If they had rankings in baseball, maybe I would have been able to do the math and figure out my chances of being a professional baseball player versus a tennis player. But that was the decision-maker for me, I just thought I was better in tennis.
One very interesting framework for a company to succeed over time – beyond just business logic and analytics – is, do they have a reason why the best graduates in engineering programs will flock to them versus competitors?
You’ve never seen me debate anybody. On anything. Ever. My investment of time, as an educator, in my judgment, is best served teaching people how to think about the world around them. Teach them how to pose a question. How to judge whether one thing is true versus another. What the laws of physics say.
Intuitive versus analytical? That’s a foolish choice. It’s foolish, just like trying to choose between being realistic or idealistic. You need both in life.
The Hell in a Cell match that always sticks in my mind is the original Michaels versus Undertaker match. It was really something. The bout itself was so good, while Kane’s debut made it even more memorable. That takes the cake in terms of Hell in a Cell matches.
I think the way to be an influential journalist is to be accurate and to be fair and to get things right and to really characterize things in an honest way, versus being really snarky or cheerleading.
Bipolar disorder is so swept under the rug as a nation and, I think especially, by black people. It’s not our culture to go get therapy. ‘Give them medicine for what?’ We put people in court, put them in court again, versus really paying attention to what it is they are going through.
The conversation of cultural appropriation versus appreciation is especially important for the NFL as it seeks to expand its fan base to London and all over the world.
I don’t know that there’s any particular scientific evidence that you could say, more guys get hurt in this offense versus that one, or hurry-up, or whatever, but everything that we’ve ever done in the NCAA is about exposure. How many exposures does a player get?
‘The A-Team’ compared to making ‘Narc’ was a breeze. There’s a whole other skill set and whole other kind of bone structure that goes into making a movie like ‘Narc’ versus ‘The A-Team.’
The way I look at the world is establishment versus change agents. The establishment is those people who want to keep things the way they are. Change agents are people like me.
Ultimately, it’s not going to be about man versus machine. It is going to be about man with machines.
I played in a city in Brazil where there are only two big clubs and Internacional versus Gremio was unbelievable – the pressure, the team atmosphere and everybody flying on the adrenalin.
That would be a dream match for me to see Finn Balor versus The Undertaker.
You know, I try not to think too much about women guitarists versus men guitarists; the world does that for me.
No matter what color you are, if you mentor some little boy or girl, you make a huge difference in their lives because they then model behavior that leads to success versus modeling behavior that doesn’t.
I try not to get too rattled about things that aren’t that important – there’s a different outburst for when the kids are reaching for a knife in the kitchen versus the reaction I have when they just won’t stop talking. And my wife and I have mellowed out as we’ve gone along.
I’ve always loved acting with adults versus like the whole High School feel.
I feel like with ‘Hubie,’ it was just a matter of the difference between working on a movie versus a TV show. TV shows, it’s like a long period of time and you’re living there, and with this movie, it was kind of in and out.
Chris Wallace is probably the most of an exception because his program, ‘Fox News Sunday,’ also airs on Fox broadcast stations. So he doesn’t feel as many of the same ratings pressures to please the right wing audience versus all the rest of the programs.
I can look into someone’s eyes and feel like I know her better, versus a phone call, where you can’t get that same type of emotion. That’s why text messaging gets you in trouble: You can’t bond, and emoticons explain only so much.
What I’ve always really appreciated about MCU superheroes versus elsewhere is that they are trying to disrupt the idea of what a superhero can be.
I’m really interested in stories about identity – who I am now versus who I used to be.
I don’t remember a Rob Van Dam versus Mick Foley hardcore match. There should have been one.
In baseball I was very singularly focused. If I was pitching it was me versus the hitter.
The whole sort of debate of classic objective journalism versus a new immersion journalism – that can go on forever… I made no bones about my position: I don’t think you can be objective.
I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I’m doing my job. So I’ll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we’re kind of accustomed to.
Many of us came away from our youth thinking that the story of the Revolution was that the Americans were patriots fighting the oppressive British. It was kind of good versus evil, liberty versus tyranny. When you get into it, you find that it was much more complicated.
