I’m just not into trying to convince people like me. I always say to myself, ‘It is what it is.’ I walk into a situation knowing that people are either going to love me or they’re not, and that’s OK. I’m just going to be me. You can’t be everything to everyone.
In principle, every social situation involves strategic interaction among the participants.
I felt really sorry for Oliver Kahn. Up to that point he had made lots of saves for the German team. Of course he could have caught the ball but it just happened. It was bad luck. In that situation, you need to be very strong psychologically to carry on.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
I’m in deep in everything, every moment of the day. I create the systems and oversee every aspect of the execution. Every mark on a sculpture and every brush-stroke on a painting is in a controlled situation, exactly as they’d be if I’d have done them myself.
If I’m in a social situation sometimes I’ll hang back and observe people but I feel very much a part of things most of the time and feel very comfortable socializing and have for most of my life.

The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.

I just go into a game and try to look at the situation and what needs to be done. I try to execute.
We continually evaluate the world situation, and we not infrequently make changes to aviation security.

We just play, man. We go out there and we fight no matter the situation.
One of the advantages of going to a small school is that you’re expected to be the man. They have to give you the ball, and there’s more room for error in a situation where you can play your way through mistakes (and no matter how good you are, this is a valuable coping skill at the NBA level).

The hardest situation to stay happy in, I think, is when you’re trying to find love, and yourself at the same time. It just doesn’t seem to fit well.
We’re in a situation where the solutions that we have are not good enough. The way to improve anything is to have a discussion about its flaws. To understand what the one or two or three things are about it that would help fix it. The DMCA makes it dangerous to have that conversation.

If we can get people to focus on fruits and vegetables and more healthy foods, we’ll be better in terms of our healthcare situation.
‘Born to Do It’ took a kid out of a council estate and put my mum into a home of her own. It changed my whole family’s situation, and all from doing something that I loved.

I was 17 when I was forced into marriage. I had no hand in it, and I didn’t even enjoy being with the man. Also, I wanted to study, but no one listened to me. I wanted to move forward in life, it wasn’t a happy situation. Because of some family problems, I had to stick around.
There’s always going to be something positive that can come out of any negative situation.
I learned that there is an inner strength that blossoms when one cleanses themselves by processing and attempting to comprehend their situation and/or experience. Writing became my therapy!
