Society puts so much emphasis on outer appearance, but being confident in yourself and not letting others’ opinions affect you is pretty amazing.
Where folks like Google have fallen down is in just putting a little review box up, then closing their eyes and letting the algorithm take care of itself. Yelp is a technology company, but also a company that understands how people want to connect with one another.
You won’t see me searching out red carpets or TV cameras. I’m more comfortable sitting back and letting others enjoy the spotlight.
Letting goals in doesn’t look great to myself.
The process of finding my voice as SpongeBob was to start by watching what Tom Kenny did, trying to do an impression of sorts, and then forgetting all about it and letting the voice become a second-nature thing.
I like the immediacy of blogs and the democratizing effects of letting millions of voices bloom on the Web.
Recently, I have come to assume that any call to my landline is from a telemarketer or an automated call from Terminex, letting me know that our regularly scheduled pest-extermination service will occur on its regular schedule. So I usually ignore my home phone.
There’s pressure to come up with something genius every time. I feel like I keep letting myself down with my Twitter posts. I have to start keeping a journal of rough drafts of prophetic ideas about the world.
I have no distributor… it is indicative to me that there are these pockets of players and collectors all over. You should see the correspondence I get from over the world letting me know how significant they think I am. I know that wherever I go, I am well received.
I had to work up the courage to even imagine myself running for Congress. But I eventually decided that our country had a moral problem in only letting white men – even the right-minded ones – have a seat at the table.
There are a whole host of psychological phenomenon humans have developed to protect ourselves from the sting of failure, from holding ourselves less accountable for our failures than we do other people, to letting our fear paralyze us and keep us from even trying.
Coach Dunleavy has done a great job of humbling me, letting me go out there and make mistakes and I’ve got a great feel for the game right now.
I remember as a kid having a balloon and accidentally letting the string go and watching it just float off and into the sky until it disappeared. And there’s something about that, even, that feels very much like what life is, you know, that it’s fleeting, and it’s temporal.
It’s not my job to get really personal in how I express myself. I’ve met fans, and they’ve been lovely. But letting my personal life out there, I don’t think is a good idea for me. I think the more you do that, the more you can be accused of encouraging that kind of attention.
I like the notion of making stuff up or letting your imagination go away with you.
That’s why I like to get out there, and get people to see the other side of Mitt, and know us in a different reflection when you see the family and how funny he is with the boys and with the grandkids. And you know, just what a super guy he is. That’s part of what I am doing, is letting people see the other side of Mitt.
In all my years of being with Pittsburgh, I never encountered a player taking a contract dispute into the season and letting that dispute affect the way he played.
I love to watch people not care too much about the choreography, or if they sing perfectly, or if the right label people are there to watch them. It’s just about letting go and being crazy and engaging people in dance and madness – being a human instead of a doll.
In these difficult times, when tough decisions are required, the differences between Labour and the Tories are becoming much clearer. One party believes in intervention to reduce social and economic costs and the other believes in market forces and letting things take their course.
Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei and Assad are two sides of the same terror coin. Letting Assad continue to wield lethal power means that Tehran’s terror network – from Hezbollah to the Houthis – will persist in threatening the West.
You need to have one element about your outfit that is imperfect, that says you live in it and you’re not letting it control you. I think men and women both need a softness about them with formal wear.
Fantasy is fantasy. It’s fiction. It’s not meant to be a textbook. I don’t believe in letting research overwhelm the fiction. That’s a danger of science fiction in particular, as opposed to fantasy. A lot of writers forget that what they’re doing is supposed to be art.
The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life – just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I’m doing what I’m doing. I just thank Him. I don’t know how I deserve it, but it’s completely because of Him.
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil – of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn’t think of myself as evil – just realistic.
The American people need to know the truth. The American people need to see the truth. In a democracy, letting the people know the truth is the essence of what it means to be free.
Everybody gets frustrated with themselves when they are not playing well because they feel like they are letting the team down.
Thank you to Australia for letting me know that I’m OK just the way that I am.
In my own life, I have no problems letting out a good scream.
I do not tweeze my eyebrows. I’ve been letting them grow out for years. I try to fill them in wherever nature has abandoned me.
But it’s no good letting your emotions get the better of you.
Many of the cognitive enhancement drugs serve to increase focus and concentration. But ‘letting your mind wander’ is very often an important part of the creative process.
I’m very good in letting things go; there’s always new things, and I’m a big believer in ‘everything happens for a reason’ kind of thing.
At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them.
I’m letting inspiration move me, in whatever direction it may, without concern if this sounds too rap or too indie, or there’s too many words in it.
One way to boost our will power and focus is to manage our distractions instead of letting them manage us.
I love having a shaved head. I’d rather not deal with hair if I don’t have to. I like not thinking about it. A shaved head and letting my beard go requires the least amount of anything.
Usually I spend a long while working alone before letting anyone read what I’ve written.
My brothers and I would try to talk our dad into letting us stay up and watch ‘Star Trek.’ I remember watching it and feeling that a family is not just by blood, a family is a shared experience and that really stuck with me.
I think in many ways, I’m sort of a blank canvas, because in many ways, I’m just observing the world and the people around me and their characters and letting them kind of explode off me and to find out why they’re doing what they’re doing. But then every once in awhile, I get to take on a whole new character.
Here you do have forests, where pigs could be raised by letting them root about in the forests for a good part of the year. Therefore, you have a different attitude toward them compared with what continues to exist in the Middle East.
At heart, I would have to say I’m a pantser. I fully embrace the chaos of letting the unintended happen, on life and on the page.
I’ve always controlled my emotions. I think that probably came from playing a lot of tennis, keeping it inside and not letting the opponent see what’s going on with you. I think it gives them an advantage when you do that.
Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse – no water, food, medical care, the government imploding – while letting us sleep at night.
People make the mistake of drinking the Kool-Aid, believing your own hype, letting people tell you you’re this or you’re that or you’re too this.
I hate when a movie just sort of ends and is so open-ended you feel like it wasn’t finished. I appreciate leaving things up to the interpretation of the audience and letting them make decisions about where things will go in the future – but the director has to make a decision; otherwise it is sort of a cop-out.
The act of writing a song involves a degree of letting go of yourself, and that’s very much being a child.
The terrorists didn’t think that Yazidi girls would have the courage to tell the world every detail of what they did to us. We defy them by not letting their crimes go unanswered.
I look at my paintings for a very long time before letting them out of my studio. I like to get on the treadmill and look around at all of my paintings while I exercise. I try to stare them down to make them reveal their weaknesses. If they reveal weaknesses, they get repainted.
I like the idea of putting your Christmas wish list up and letting people share it.
I feel like I’ve got really good rapport with parents. They always say I’m a YouTuber they can feel safe just letting their kids watch.
There’s got to be a role for an experienced football person helping the manager; not being a threat to the manager, but helping and sorting out a lot of the hassle he has, you know? Letting him concentrate on managing the football side.
