I don’t even need to do anything; I am always amped to skate. Always amped to be competing. I love competing – that’s what I do. Any contest, it doesn’t really take much. Just get me on the course and I’ll get going.
There’s no question that we have great value on the sanctity of the family, and there are a lot of competing visions about exactly how we teach a set of values and we teach skills to our children, especially in the early years when they’re really forming their personalities, their personas, really.
I was always really inspired by watching the older girls competing, just seeing other Olympians do great things, and I just really wanted to be a part of that whole experience. And to be able to represent USA was always a goal of mine.
I don’t like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I’m a teen actress and therefore I’m competing against Hilary Duff. We’re different people like everyone else.
There are competing studies on how much crime drops or doesn’t drop when there are strict rules on gun possession and sale. I don’t think there’s any question that New York City’s very tough laws have reduced violence.
There’d be a call from Michigan Scout, then Michigan Rivals, then Iowa Scout, then Iowa Rivals. These guys are competing, and I’m just the guy in the middle giving them the story.
I think competition can make people stronger at whatever it is they’re competing on. If we’re competing in some athletic event for competitive swimmers, really intensely competing, it’s likely that both of us will become better, but it’s also quite possible we’ll lose sight of what’s truly valuable.
I doubt anyone has ever accused comedians of solidarity before. It’s hard to think of a less collegiate world than that of unabashed professional narcissists competing for attention; even when we reluctantly band together on panel shows, we’re only trying to sell solo tours.
I felt like when I retired, I was still one of the best in the world and competing at the highest level. I think it’s best to bow out and have people remember you at your peak.
Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
I never read my press when I was competing. I never got caught up in what I was doing at that moment.
I did feel support right from the start from LeBron. He’s always shown me a great deal of respect dating back to our battles when I was in Indiana and competing with the Heat in the conference finals, and coaching him in the All-Star Game.
The future of Norway isn’t about competing on being the cheapest but the most innovative. We have an expensive welfare state, and the only answer to continue that way is to become more competitive, especially on knowledge.
In New York, you are competing with Times Square lights and all of that, so you’ve got to be 300 pounds and crazy to get anyone’s attention. Then, you can refine yourself. I always knew under those 300 pounds and tracksuits was a refined, slim, dignified man.
Growing up as a wrestler, especially in practice, I think you get used to competing without much of a crowd around.
The only thing I want to think about the moments before a race is competing. I don’t want the little things to distract me.
The biggest challenge is to stay focused. It’s to have the discipline when there are so many competing things.
We’re not competing against other people who have similar ideas but we’re competing against ideas of work in general. There are still traditional office spaces that are not friendly to human beings that are not designed for connection and collaboration.
MaxCoin is competing for the crypto buck, if you will. So is Bitcoin, so is Dogecoin. Alt-coins are proving to be formidable because there’s a solid community behind it, there’s a use for it, and it’s got a great market capitalisation. I think that’s going to be a winner.
I actually found CrossFit on a run from my house in Orange County. I moved around with it for a while, which is the best part about it. I love it, but it was something I did because I enjoyed the camaraderie aspect of it, not so much the competing side of it.
I’m always competing.
Nowadays, women are looked at as equal to the men when it comes to competing, and I think that’s a really cool message to send to little girls and show them that whatever they want to do, they can set their mind to it and make it happen.
Most financiers, corporate lawyers, lobbyists, and management consultants are competing with other financiers, lawyers, lobbyists, and management consultants in zero-sum games that take money out of one set of pockets and put it into another.
I love legends. I love reading up on the greats in their time period. I think, ‘Man, what it would be like to live when they were competing and see them at their best!’
I’m a competitor. I want to be out there real bad, competing with my team.
It has been shown that public participation can limit powerful interest groups, while competing interests can help find a reasonable balance between development and environmental protection.
A true athlete is someone who doesn’t just stop training when they stop competing. It’s a way of life, and they keep in shape just to keep up that standard.
When I was writing or competing in individual sports, it felt unfulfilling and lonely. When I was able to find a group of people I believed in and liked, that all worked in pursuit of a common goal, it felt incredibly rewarding.
Evolutionary science kind of bears that out: When species are rivals and competing for space and resources, the superior one wins. Nature has no compunction about that; it just is.
I’ll miss the competitive side and the camaraderie of being around the players and competing each and every day.
The more you’re competing, the higher the level is in training. That means the quality is going to be higher on a Saturday, Wednesday or whenever we’re playing.
We’re competing with everything: the beach, the mall, bookstores. Libraries are in a transition right now, caught between two forces, the old ways and technology. Libraries are under a lot of pressure to provide both.
The important thing to understand about legislators is that there are dozens of competing interests and issues that occupy them. They are stretched thin.
Project 523 was both a good and a bad thing. They held so many meetings, and there were so many competing centres, it was a real mess. Nearly every province had their own research centre, and they all asked me to share my research, which I did. But that’s no way to do science. They wasted a lot of money and a lot of time.
Over the course of my 13-year career, I’ve had a lot of concussions, and yet, because I’m no longer competing or suffering from concussion symptoms, I felt like I was in the clear. The reality, though, is that I get concussions far more easily, and my symptoms last far longer than ever before.
I just like competing.
I just love playing so much, competing so much. You’re able to put your losses behind you. One of the greatest attributes a decathlete can have is the ability to forget… to look ahead, not behind.
When I’m healthy and competing, I’m just a different type of player. That’s the type of player everyone fell in love with.
I would have loved to sneak off and watch some of the horse events at the Paralympics and I know Lee Pearson, who’s the Olympic gold medallist in para-equestrianism, but because I was competing in the pool I had to watch it on TV.
When you’re up there and everything feels good and you’re competing against the pitcher and the pitcher strikes you out, you’re like, ‘OK, yeah, I struck out, but that’s OK.’
I’m not competing in Iowa for a reason.
There are lots of people building the next TransferWise, not in a sense of competing with us but in a sense of building large, successful companies that are doing something important. I just enjoy helping these founders navigate the journey.
When competing a lot and traveling, I have problems with my lower back because I’m always on the plane or sitting. That’s something that does bother me from time to time, but I try to stay on top of it.
For my father, being kind was natural… I have to really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest – not words you usually associate with kindness.
There are so many music genres competing against each other, but I feel like country music has always been a unified front.
Age is not really the biggest factor, whichever end of the scale you are at. It’s how you perform, how you respond to the challenge of having good players around you competing for your place.
Even though running is work for me, I always miss it if I take a break. A lot of people find running relaxing, but I can never switch off from timing and competing against myself.
One of the things that I thought really worked was that you have ‘Smallville’ on television and ‘Superman Returns’ come out in the theater, and it was fine. Nobody freaked out; nobody thought they were competing.
The era during which only governments could put hardware on the Moon is coming to an end. There are 26 private teams competing for the $30 million Google Lunar X-Prize – to be awarded for sending a robotic spacecraft to this nearby world that can roam at least 500 meters, and send back data such as a photo.
