The question was, in a sense, at Princeton Review, how much value was I adding as a public company CEO. I was adding less than other people might’ve… I think you want to move on when you’ve given your best work and then feel that you’re not going to add as much value moving forward.
Once you realize just the sort of glut of books that exists out there, it does become incumbent on you not to add to it unless you have a damn good reason.
I’m definitely a lash girl. I feel they are my best feature. I have tried lots of mascaras. I was drawn to Lancome Doll Lashes recently. Not only because of the name, but it smells like roses! I usually add a few coats of it for a night out.
I used to believe that the number eight is unlucky for me and would even avoid anything that would add up to 8 – like 17, 26 and so on. I would religiously visit astrologers and wear different stones to bring in good luck.
But I will add, there’s one thing I will not do, ever: I will never talk to you about things you cannot change. It plants a negativity in the head of a designer or the student, and it’s a distraction.
All topics, issues, and subjects in ‘The Room’ add to the depth of the characters in the movie, and they are equally important.
I pass on any opportunity I see that I can’t add value on.
To add value to others, one must first value others.
Whenever you’re playing somebody who is, by all accounts, rotten, don’t focus on the rotten stuff. That stuff will take care of itself. It’s already in the script; the audience is already experiencing it without you having to add an extra feel of evil. Just play them like regular people.
My goal is to continue to build Marley Coffee distribution and add our own stand-alone retail stores.
Getting four people awake, fed, dressed, and out the door on time is a challenge. Add to that making a school lunch, and you can tilt over the edge. Unless you are well prepared and have a simple method to follow.
I bought some instant water one time but I didn’t know what to add to it.
In any sauce you make, start with a concentration of flavors with great acidity. You then re-dilute the sauce, but the proportion of liquid you add should not be so high that you wash away the extracted flavor you’re aiming to create.
At some point during every cooking class I teach, I do my signature move: dramatically add handful upon handful of salt to a large pot of boiling water, then taste it and add even more.
Millennials, as others, want creative, durable, desirable, and beautiful products. But they do add a new criteria: respect.
I prepare my style of biriyani by sauting sliced onion, tomato, green chilli, ginger garlic and add required water and rice. If I end up adding a tad too much of salt, I used to add curd to balance it.
I taught a master class in film in France, and that was a great experience because I got a chance to study the French film culture and the French film history, so to add… just to expand myself just personally and professionally was really helpful.
I want a Superman that men will look up to – that somehow he manages to go out and work out and add muscles to his body that he wasn’t born with necessarily, but that developed – as a person who takes care of himself and takes care of his health.
Think about how much fashion profits from black culture and how underrepresented we are in the industry. If you insist on using black celebrities to peddle your merchandise and add a cool factor to your front row, it is indecent to not care about the plights of that person’s community.
We, as plus-size women, want the jewelry to fit like it was meant for us. Not like, OK, we’re just going to add a couple links here to make it fit wider necks. I want jewelry that complements us.
The thing that I’m most passionate about, I’m writing a book called ‘Jab Jab Jab Jab Jab Right Hook,’ and it really focuses on how to story-tell in a noisy, ADD world.
There’s a tiny vial of turmeric I like to add to my tea and my facial cleanser. It revitalizes and detoxifies – it does everything.
When I come off the bench, I’m looking to add energy, and then I play defense and rebound. Also, at the end of the game, I have the experience to go out there and help us win.
I think, in effect, in most of the European countries, the total marginal tax rate is over 50 percent; that’s to say, add on other taxes like VAT to the income tax.
My so-called bad dress-sense phase happened when I was confused – I think I was taking advice all too often, without listening to my inner voice. Add to the fact that I was a little overweight; so every wrong ‘outfit’ got compounded all that much.
The Boston Symphony is one of the best orchestras in the world and has such a great tradition – which I want to cherish, of course, and to learn from and to continue and to add whatever I can add.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
I tried to make up for being 5 ft. 3 in. by affecting a strut and adopting the voice of a much bigger man… dating tall, beautiful women… But nothing I could do, after Ava had left me, would add a single inch to my height.
I should add that it is open to debate whether what we call the writing of history these days is truly scientific.
My own experience with being interviewed is mixed. I suppose they’re a part of my job, and as I would like readers to connect with my books, I do them. I’ve also made many lifelong friends whom I first encountered as interviewers – as a writer, they’re a terrific way to meet and add smart new people to one’s life.
Like regular table salt, MSG can also help boost our perception of other existing flavors. Tomato soup with a pinch of MSG tastes a little more tomato-y. Add a dash to beef stew to make it taste beefier.
The flattery is nice, but awards don’t add up to writing quality songs.
When you’re on-stage, you’re expected to perform in the bar business. You shake hands. You smile. You’re all positive energy: you add to your environment. When you walk in the door to the back of the house, that’s like a stage door. You’re off-stage now.
I’m always going to have the puppets, probably not for the rest of my life, but I’m not going to stop doing ventriloquism anytime soon. I’m just going to add singing, recording songs, and maybe playing in a TV show.
Being blonde means people decide on sight that you are much prettier and nicer than you really are, just as Americans automatically add 10 points to someone’s IQ when they hear an English accent. Fact.
Government should take necessary steps to add music into school syllabus and impart knowledge to the students.
I think the personal stories that I tell in my life, I think, sort of do add up to say that you can fail and fail and fail again and continue to move forward.
If I really can be said to have a personal style, I think it is reflected in my taste for the exotic and the unexpected. I like to create rooms which are essentially traditional – and then add touches of the bizarre and the delicious.
Men are shameless in selling their story. Women are often reserved. So we do need to encourage women to know their story and then tell it strategically as to how they can add value.
I have musical ADD, so I like to switch things up.
I don’t add any deliberate nuances to the way I sing. I’ve seen so much and been all over the world, but I’m glued to my roots, and that comes across.
Computers add convenience to our everyday lives, but we are limited in what we can do with technology others have imagined. The ability for humans to teach machines entirely new things – coding – is nothing short of a superpower.
I don’t buy art to put away somewhere. I buy art to appreciate, enjoy, and live with. It’s supposed to add to your life.
A lot of the Google inventions came from engineers just screwing around with ideas. And then management would see them, and we’d say, ‘Boy, that’s interesting. Let’s add some more engineers.’
Pure art is a noble pursuit. Applied art is a business. That’s one reason design firms have been so eager of late to add consulting and manufacturing to their core aesthetic competencies.
It’s ‘ow,’ like, you stubbed your toe. ‘Lee,’ like Bruce Lee. Then, you add an ‘e.’ Auli’i Cravalho.
I’ll cook a batch of brown rice or quinoa and keep it in the fridge, so when I get hungry, I can easily dress it up with olive oil, lemon, and salt and pepper, and then add veggies.
I love a good miso soup: it’s fermented. It really helps with the immune system. I’ll add tofu, carrots and seaweed.
We had only snacks last time, I think it was OK for a day time menu. But this time it will be late night when people gather so we should add some proper meals.
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
That was my fear, which is why when I was took over a book, I was always trying to tweak it a little bit so that it looked like I was trying to add something instead of keeping the status quo.
The expression that friends are the family you choose, is so powerful, because most people are close with their families, and when you add people into that level of trust, love, and loyalty, it’s a really meaningful thing. The fact you’re actively choosing each other is so beautiful at its core.
