When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this idea of opening a restaurant back in Indiana on a little pond. The guests would order their dinner and then take a little boat out with a colored flag on the front of it. When the matching color of the flag on their boat went up on a flag pole, their dinner was ready!
People I looked up to a lot were, you know, Oprah because she had a rough childhood but overcame so many obstacles and broke barriers to become who she is. It was really eye opening to me: just because I had a rough childhood doesn’t mean that I can’t make something of myself.
I’m proud of who I am. I’m proud of my history. I’m proud of the women and the men who came before us who are black, and I’m proud of the women before me who are black and who have achieved so much, even though we have so much against us, and we don’t have those doors opening for us every day.

‘Random Rules’ kicks off ‘American Water,’ and from its opening line – ‘In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection’ – you know you’re in for something strange and special.
Imagine the anticlimax of opening a novel you’d just got Dostoyevsky to sign and finding ‘Keep smiling – Fyodor.’
For me, the risks in terms of opening that brewpub were fairly high. I put my house up as collateral, I invested the liquid money I had and two years of my time to get it over, but that’s really not much of a risk for what the potential reward was if it worked.
Recovery Friendly Workplaces are an opportunity for New Hampshire to help change the culture around addiction by engaging employers in being a proactive part of the conversation by providing tools, resources, and opening up access to treatment.

It’s always hard, when introducing readers to a new world/set of rules, not to lay it all out manual-style in the opening chapters but make sure to put the action and the characters at the front. If people don’t become invested in them and in the story, the world in which it’s set will become a burden.
Providence had a graduate assistant job opening. They asked me if I wanted to apply, and I applied. That break right there put me in position to learn from great coaches. It really jump-started every other good break I ever had in coaching.
Everybody should work in their nation’s capitol and see how politics actually work because it was the most eye opening experience of my life.

‘Made’ is about opening your heart to people who deserve your love and not trying to turn other people into something that they’re not: not trying to save people who don’t want to be saved. If you go down that dark path, you’re not going to end up doing any good.
In 1996, Trump had crashed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a charity opening a nursery school for children with AIDS. Trump, who had never donated to the charity, stole a seat onstage that had been saved for a big contributor.
For the ‘Rai-kirah’ books, I began with the image of Aleksander riding the great wastelands, and that quickly morphed into the desert. Because I wanted my slave market cold and miserable, I chose to set the opening scene in the empire’s summer capital in the mountains.
When I was working on ‘Night Falls Over Kortedala,’ I was listening a lot to ‘Graceland,’ the Paul Simon record. I really got into the lyrics on that album. The opening line is so brilliant, the way he sets the scene.

The first thing I do after I wake up is a morning meditation. It’s just as I awake and before I open my eyes. It’s where I’m feeding my gratitude and the love in my heart and opening my heart. A good morning meditation is key. It lasts about 10 to 15 minutes. Then I get out of bed.

I wish, to be honest with you, for African American films that we could get a few more theaters. They only open them in 1500 to 2000 for an opening weekend, and how do you expect us to compete. How can we go to certain box office levels if they don’t give us more theaters?
My favourite football memory is the opening match of France ’98, and unfortunately Scotland had drawn Brazil.
It’s just a matter of me opening up the page and whatever is written on the page, that’s what I’m here to do.
How many times have you opened a book, read the first few sentences and made a snap decision about whether to buy it? When it’s your book that’s coming under this casual-but-critical scrutiny, you want the reader to be instantly hooked. The way to accomplish this is to create compelling opening sentences.
Even when you’re out with someone, you need to get out of your head. And you can try exercises by putting yourself in situations where you may not feel completely comfortable, like going to a gallery opening on your own.
