Environmental protection and economic development are not in conflict. Environmental protection is not a burden but a source for innovation. It can increase competition, create jobs, and lifts the economy.
I don’t like the idea of competition – maybe because I kept losing them when I was a kid. Maybe it’s better to be the one who loses?
When I was little, I had never really expected to win such a big competition. For a long time, just skating in the Olympics had been my goal because not many Koreans had done it.
Competition makes things come out right. Well, what does that mean in health care? More hospitals so they compete with each other. More doctors compete with each other. More pharmaceutical companies. We set up war. Wait a minute, let’s talk about the patient. The patient doesn’t need a war.
Yeah, we’re trying to learn from Sam Walton, learn from competition, and on a global basis be able to be the very best as we try to bring it all together.
I was looking for something like baseball, where there’s a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That’s when I discovered politics.
Every competition is different… You can’t plan for everything that happens.
In 1945, the world was in a shambles. American companies had no competition. So nobody really thought much about quality. Why should they? The world bought everything America produced. It was a prescription for disaster.
The public is looking for free lunches, and the political competition for votes makes the politicians offer them free lunches.
The whole kiss-and-tell thing is a negative approach that often happens in a World Cup. We will see negative stories about the players and it can affect their confidence and the overall performance of the national team on the pitch, let alone the bid to actually stage the competition.
The only way I survived at school was by doing impersonations of teachers and pupils. That led to me winning a talent competition when I was 16; the prize was three or four gigs in working men’s clubs. I was just showing off: at the time, I thought that’s what acting was.
I dig all kinds of competition.
I think it’s okay to feel jealous, but it’s how you deal with it that’s the important thing. You have to be happy for your friends when they do well because you want them to do well. It’s not a competition.
I always have a book that I write during competition. I need it with me, just to read back and reflect and look forward. If I’m feeling anxious, it helps me.
There were no competitions on television. The first skating competition I ever remember seeing on television was the 1968 Olympics when Peggy Fleming won.
After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.
The Beatles had just come out, and everybody had a band. It was incredible competition out there.
A variety of factors contribute to the price of gasoline in the United States. These factors include worldwide supply, demand and competition for crude oil, taxes, regional differences in access to gasoline supplies and environmental regulations.
In Europe, we have three tools when it comes to fair competition. One is antitrust, one is merger control, and the third is state aid control. And the third you don’t have in the States.
In a day and age when there are so many culinary competitions – ranging from contests of taste to those of technique – The World Food Championships will be the ultimate food competition.
There’s competition in every field, and that’s healthy. It makes you work harder and be your best. Competition, not in terms of money or number of projects, but in the quality of your work, is very healthy.
I’m here to work.. not to like or dislike people. Neither am I here to win a Miss Congeniality competition. I maintain professional relations with my co-stars.
Consulting offered me an opportunity to see a lot of different businesses in different regions of the world, to see how textiles were being affected by foreign competition, how technology was changing.
As I talk with the Chinese on currency, I encourage them to move much more quickly with opening up their capital markets to competition, because I don’t believe the world is going to give them as much time as they would like.
Maybe it’s because I come from a very utopian world of being a comedian, but I’m used to many live comedy performances going on in any city I’m in, and each of us is trying to be the best at what we do. I don’t think of it as a competition so much as a thriving comedy economy.
Encourage kids to enjoy running and play in athletics. Don’t force them to run too much competition.
Elections are a competition with only one winner. Giving more money to the opponent every time one speaks on behalf of a favored candidate discourages the speech that triggers the matching funds.
But anybody who steps into the lane beside you is the biggest competition because they made it to the finals.
I was a personal trainer for about a decade. I competed in powerlifting, and I did a bodybuilding competition. I was heavily entrenched in the personal training world.
Markets work when people can evaluate the prices and risks of different products, then pick the ones that work best for them. But when the terms of the deal are hidden, competition doesn’t work. And customers aren’t the only ones who are hurt.
Nearly every study shows that competition from cheap foreign labor undercuts the wages of American workers and legal immigrants.
The competition I played against was fantastic, but golf is a different game now. The courses have shrunk because the equipment has gotten better. They’re hitting the ball 10 to 15 percent farther because of the changes in the golf ball.
I never think of who’s in the competition. I never let myself get in that frame of mind, worrying about who I’m against.
In a world with weak aggregate demand, countries are engaging in a futile competition for a greater share of it. In the process, they are creating financial-sector and cross-border risks that will become increasingly apparent as countries exit their unconventional policies.
I’m no longer young, but I still enjoy the competition and the feeling of that.
Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition – in having put forth the best within you.
I’m not the athlete I was when I was training for the Olympics in ’92 or when I was working out every single day. I have to live in moderation: I work out three or four days a week, and I smile while I’m working out – I really do enjoy it. I work out with my girlfriends and make it a social competition.
I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating… because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.
Once, in Australia, I ate 33 pancakes in 20 minutes, and I only did it because they said a girl could never enter the competition.
Most of the competition was into bulk popcorn because of the major increases in the Drive-In Theatre Outlets.
I get nervous for any competition. I also get really competitive.
I didn’t realize until I was doing commentary what a gladiator-like competition tennis is – other than no one dies. The crowd is waiting for the players to come, and they walk through the tunnel, and they get on the court, and they get out their rackets, their weapons, and now they start.
I’ve never really done acting before, ’cause dancing was my first love. And then, I sort of fell into it from a talent competition and never really looked back.
The Olympic Games are highly commercialised. They purport to follow the traditions of an ancient athletics competition, but today it is the commercial aspect that is most apparent. I have seen how, through sport, cities and corporations compete against each other for financial gain.
Google’s competitors fail to demonstrate that Google’s actions stifle competition rather than reflect pro-consumer innovations.
I was always criticized through my whole career because I wasn’t doing the whole smiling thing on stage. But I didn’t feel like doing that, I felt like I was there for competition and it was tough and I wasn’t there to smile.
Whenever the competition is sleeping is when I shine.
Instagram, Swiffer, and Nest had to compete with consumer habits and perceptions. Breakout products face competition from the formidable inertia powering the status quo.
The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career, I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.
Traditional PCs face competition from specialty products like Palm Pilots and from the servers that provide the nodes in computer networks. Microsoft’s Windows CE hasn’t done too well in the specialty-device market, and its Windows NT faces strong competition for server customers.
Why should man’s first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction and expenditure?
You never compete with the people in your crew; you have your own team. Competition is only with those people whose film is releasing alongside on Friday and never with one’s own team.
For most athletes, there’s a focus on your own fitness, but I have to rely on my horse, too. I’ve been very lucky so far, and it hasn’t presented a problem, but you can never count on a competition going as planned until you’re there and actually doing it.
