An elephant always puts his foot into the hole which another elephant’s foot has made so that a frequented track is nothing but a series of pits filled with mud and water.
You’d like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it.
Otherwise we get off the track and we do not fulfil the historical role which we want to fulfil: to help the masses, the exploited and the oppressed of the world, build a classless society, a world socialist federation.
You know how sometimes you hear a chord played on an organ and you can feel it vibrating in your bones? Sometimes when I’m writing, I can feel my bones vibrating because I’ll have a thought or I’ll have a character’s voice in my head, and that’s when I know I’m on the right track.
I probably shouldn’t treat interviews as therapy sessions, but I don’t keep a diary, so these end up being my way of keeping track of where I’m at and letting it all out.
A typical medical practice is like an old-fashioned business which keeps all of its records on paper. It can probably track down any individual transaction if it needs to, but it’s basically helpless when it comes to overall measurements of performance. And that’s the big problem.
Because of a jury-rigged and outdated system meant to track deaths, the government has trouble determining exactly which Americans are deceased.
You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they’re buddies off the track, not necessarily because they’re buddies on the track. Sometimes you’ve got that going against you or for you.
Indecision may come from an instinctive hunch that there’s more you need to know – which means it’s time to learn everything you can about the pros and cons of each option. You can continue on this track, however, only as long as you’re unearthing genuinely new information.
The referee will now keep track of the time on the field and the shootouts have finally been banned.
The mandate that I got from my investors is to invest. So far, we are on the right track, and it is the right formula to invest in Indonesia.
I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.
I’ve got my huge Greek family. I mean, I don’t know how many cousins I have – I can’t even keep track. There are just so many of us, and we love all Greek food – we have Greek night every Sunday night.
When Charlie Crist went independent, I no longer supported him. Just track the money.
I’m on a single track here – I work to direct what I want to see onstage. I basically have been feeding my own needs – to be working on a specific project at a specific time, and fortunately more often it works than fails.
As we contemplate a world which is still choosing to deploy technological innovation in a way that deepens inequality and divisions within and between nations, we need to set global foundations back on track.
Wil Cardon understands what Arizona needs in Washington. He is committed to getting our economy back on track, upholding our country’s rule of law, and looking out for Arizona families.
My favorite Luna disc is our third, ‘Penthouse,’ a sparkly, moody album that works from track one all the way to track 11. Tom Verlaine of Television and Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab make guest appearances. I am also fond of the final Luna album, ‘Rendezvous.’
The Volkswagen Group has proved that it can remain firmly on track even when the terrain is slippery.
To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there’s a mix of excitement and fear. If it’s a wet track, then it’s worse as you’re not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most.
I know when I am on stage and I’m kind of on the right track – hopefully most of the time. But a lot of time I’m not.
The ‘Mythbusters’ crew, we monitor the Discovery boards, we look for the new ideas that are being forwarded on those boards, and we keep track of what’s going on, we keep updated.
I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.
But as far as dream roles – I know this is so expected of me, but I would to play Elphaba in ‘Wicked’ on Broadway. I have a lot of dream roles, but that’s like my main one because of the vocal track. I love belting high things!
I really believed that I was on the right track, but that did not mean that I would necessarily reach my goal.
I wanted to play football or be a boxer, but my dad didn’t want that because of all the impact. But in 1992 I was watching short track, and it was obscure, but they looked like superheroes in their tight outfits, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to do that. I made the national team at 14.
The government is determined to bring the program back on track, and proceed with the privatizations.
I really feel it when I can’t get to the gym for a few weeks. I like to run on a treadmill in the gym so I can keep track of what I’m doing.
So, I got a lot of recruitment letters from track.
There’s always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It’s so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: ‘Maybe I’ll make my own version of that track or maybe I’ll do this or that.’
I started working out with my mom in 4th grade. She used to take me to the track.
I’ve been to more racetracks than any other person I’ve met. Almost every track, missing only a few of the newer ones.
Now I need to take a piece of wood and make it sound like the railroad track, but I also had to make it beautiful and lovable so that a person playing it would think of it in terms of his mistress, a bartender, his wife, a good psychiatrist – whatever.
I remember going down the tunnel into the Olympic Stadium and getting a glimpse of all the people and hearing all the noise, all the people shouting for us. I’d seen Usain Bolt on the warm-up track, and then, as I walked into the stadium, I sort of realised how big it was!
I love sports. I’ve played basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field growing up.
The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.
The title ‘Dohchay’ is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.
My relationship with the track was, I would say, at least fractionally as complicated as my relationship with my old man. So it kept me coming back.
Failures are much more dramatic than successes, and people like drama. I think this is why automobile races draw such crowds. People expect spectacular crashes, which we tend to find more interesting than cars just racing around the track. The same is true of bridges, buildings, or any structure or machine.
Doing 40-minute track sessions is easy money compared to what we were doing on the Tour. What you used to think was hard now feels like a walk in the park.
I was captain of the volleyball team and the basketball team, and I ran track.
To be sure, anonymity online has it uses and is very important. Governments hoover up people’s telephone and e-mail records without oversight, and companies track astonishingly granular personal information.
I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook – what I want the track to be about melodically – and then I’ll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.
I decided that if I was going to continue in track, that I didn’t want to lose, that I wasn’t going to lose.
I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels.
If I’m in America… I will track down the nearest Soul Cycle, wherever that is, and I’ll just power through on a bike for 45 minutes.
For anyone who devours the web on a daily basis, the biggest problem is too much of a good thing. There’s so much extraordinary content – from articles to images, videos and Tweets – that it’s almost impossible to keep track of it.
The philosophical question before us is, when we make an observation of our track in the past, does the result of our observation become real in the same sense that the final state would be defined if an outside observer were to make the observation?
I’ve been kind of listening to the composer Britten and his rendition of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ The opening track is a choral section where all the weird fairies, who are played by kids in the production, sing. It’s a crazy opening melody and chord sequence – really amazing.
It is often constructive to meet with a candidate for a particular office, but I believe what is most important is the candidate’s track record.
Just because marriage didn’t work for us doesn’t mean we don’t believe in the institution. Just because our own marital track records are mixed doesn’t mean our hearts don’t lift at the sight of our daughters’ Tiffany-blue wedding invitations.
