Young people encounter great challenges at the beginning of their careers.
Trust the young people; trust this generation’s innovation. They’re making things, changing innovation every day. And all the consumers are the same: they want new things, they want cheap things, they want good things, they want unique things. If we can create these kind of things for consumers, they will come.
What is a coach? We are teachers. Educators. We have the same obligations as all teachers, except we probably have more influence over young people than anybody but their families. And, in a lot of cases, more than their families.
I feel I can really relate to a lot of young people.
My son has one parent who’s 50. I want him to have a family of young people, too!
Unfortunately, America doesn’t have a minister of culture, and I don’t understand why. It’s really bad for young people.
I was surprised by the response of young people because there is a perception that those younger than the 1988 generation are not interested in politics.
Nobody I represent is pretending to be the pope or a role model for young people. People have to live their lives. They have the right to smoke if they want.
I think a lot of young people don’t realize the price of fame is a lot higher than they imagine.
A lot of young people don’t think they can make a difference. That’s really what I am at Dartmouth to do. I’m there to tell the young people, ‘Look, a few committed souls can change the world.’
A strenuous effort must be made to train young people to think for themselves and take independent charge of their lives.
I think it’s difficult for young people to acknowledge being smart, to knowledge being a reader. I see kids who are embarrassed to read books. They’re embarrassed to have people see them doing it.
The young people have MTV and rock and roll. Why would they go to read poetry? Poetry belongs to the Stone Age. It awakens in us perceptions that go back to those times.
I think we’re seeing privacy diminish, not by laws… but by young people who don’t seem to value their privacy.
Young people can create beautiful things.
You have to really prove yourself to young people, and if your answer is clear and consistent and loving – even if it’s angry and disappointed – what’s important is that you’re being real and honest and not going anywhere.
I always tell young people: When you meet someone successful, ask them as many questions as you can. Because there’s nothing more successful people love – nothing more – than talking about their successes, and you can learn a lot in that.
One of the things I want to do with ‘Desi Rascals’ is go a bit deeper into the characters and their family lives and have a bit more heart and a bit more inter-generational story-telling, so it’s not all about young people.
The Tories and the Lib Dems talk about social mobility, but, short of winning the lottery, the only way to guarantee young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to do better and to raise aspirations is through education.
People say, ‘Respect your elders,’ but I always go, ‘Respect your young people because they are our future.’
My weakness is ‘American Idol.’ My husband thinks it’s ridiculous. But I am so inspired by those young people who are singing their guts out.
Peace is what enables development and is critical in providing opportunities to young people. Efforts to preserve peace are absolutely vital in bringing prosperity and hope for the future.
So often, science fiction helps to get young people interested in science. That’s why I don’t mind talking about science fiction. It has a real role to play: to seize the imagination.
School did stress me out, like it does for a lot of young people. I didn’t like having to do work that I didn’t care about.
I don’t like the way young people write and talk about the old. I don’t like their attitude, which, if they weren’t young and therefore bright and vibrant, would be called outdated.
We need to send a message to Congress and the president that we want them to take the actions that are needed to preserve climate for young people and future generations and all life on the planet.
Life in the restaurant business can provide a start in the working world for young people or a stable living for many Americans and their families.
I think young people are the most creative and the coolest – people that we should be learning from. Even when I’m at a party, I’m analyzing it and thinking about it in the context of how I would write about it. That side of me never switches off.
I wanted to find ways for colleges and universities to become involved with public schools to help young people prepare for college.
I think there are huge lessons there, for young people who are getting started in life, as well as other people. And that is, to take responsibility for your own life. Only you are responsible for the course you take from there.
Pride is a time to celebrate what makes us unique and the more we let young people know that those things that make us different are actually our greatest strengths, the more comfortable we are in our own skin and the more peacefully we’ll sleep at night.
I’m really excited about the revolution that is young people actually playing young people on Broadway.
The most important thing I think teachers can do for young people is to make them inquiring, is to ensure that they know how to gather information, that they check information and they take their information from a multiplicity of sources.
I’m very interested, for instance, in music in education – getting young people not only to listen to, but participate in the music that I write. I consider this one of the most vital aspects of my work.
What is acceptable in our culture, I think, is really detrimental. I think we ought to have a little more ownership over the kind of material and the content that we put in front of people, especially young people.
NASA’s been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve, and it’s sad that we are turning the program in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation it provides to young people.
Educated and productive young people are needed to help lift their countries out of poverty and create a wealthier, more secure world.
I think food and education will help stem the poverty of the young people who are being drawn into terrorism every day.
I was considered one of RCA’s brightest young people. Then one day, I found out we’d been sold. They didn’t even consult me.
I like being able to see an innocence in people. I see a lot of beauty in youth. Young people are in progress. Their faces and bodies and minds are constantly changing. It’s exciting to capture that on film.
I think the Sixties in some ways is a barrier to young people today. They think of it, you know, what we’re doing is not that. But it’s partly the myth of the Sixties. It always felt embattled and small. It always, almost always, was a small group of people relative to the opposition around.
I think fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers – we should look at what young people are saying to us.
Google attracts so much talent, it can afford to look beyond traditional metrics, like G.P.A. For most young people, though, going to college and doing well is still the best way to master the tools needed for many careers.
You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You’ll know it when you hit a home run.
I’m more of a hands-on person. I like working with young people from the standpoint of providing support for the grassroots programs. State, national and Olympic champions begin at a grassroots level.
Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies, and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.
I used to make fun of young people when I was 17 – the angst, the insecurities, all those tattoos.
I encourage everyone to become their dream. Most young people get sidetracked and never end up doing what they really set out to do.
I think young people don’t really know that much about the Civil Rights Movement and about the history of African Americans in this country. It’s not taught enough in school.
The whole atmosphere of the book, the tone of ‘The Hobbit,’ is of a kid’s adventure story, told in the first person by Tolkien, who is introducing young people to the notion of Middle-earth. A lot of it is very light-hearted.
Our target customers are people in their 20s. Old people wanted to be 21 again, and young people wanted to be 21 forever.
I think it is important to pass on the message to young people who are going through a difficult time with friends that it will pass.
It’s not just about young people – there are films being made that deal with women getting older. That’s a huge bonus, and here in America, that’s a huge step forward.
When I started out, no one would talk to young people about HIV or AIDS. I looked around and radio looked like a powerful way to shape culture in a healthy way.
