My view of democratic socialism builds on the success of many other countries around the world that have done a far better job than we have in protecting the needs of their working families, their elderly citizens, the children, the sick and the poor.
It was no accident that I made 'Hoop Dreams' because it concerned a sport that I loved and hoped would be my dream, however far-fetched that turned out to be. Because of the success of that film, Hollywood pigeonholed me as a sports biopic guy, which led to 'Prefontaine' and two cable sports films.
Regardless of who you are, what sport you chose, or how much success you achieved, playing the game is all about getting you ready for life.
A lot of people give in to those pressures and let others influence the process on their second albums because they want to achieve the success they had with their first again, but they don't know how to do it.
There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
I have gone from being a 21-year-old with wide eyes to a 24-year-old woman. With success comes a lot of responsibility and power.
Like everybody, I have invested in things that have gone bad, because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.
Youth is not enough. And love is not enough. And success is not enough. And, if we could achieve it, enough would not be enough.
It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch.
We built that into a wholesale business that became, really, one of the largest companies in the United States. We had success in building new markets, opening markets for competition, and that takes a personal toll.
Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success!
Ultimately, we measure ourselves on the success of our investments.
It's ironic that at age 32, at probably the greatest moment of my career, with The Godfather having such an enormous success, I wasn't even aware of it, because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.
Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal.
I think the success of a talk show depends on how true it is to the personality of the person hosting it. The shows I really admire, like 'Oprah' and 'Ellen,' are distinctively like their hosts, so I think my show will be successful only if we try to stay consistent to my own sense of myself.
I would say the issue for the labor movement in the United States is not structural... there is no correlation between the success of workers and how the labor movement is structured.
It takes two to make a marriage a success and only one to make it a failure.
The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals.
I applaud President Obama for launching his 'My Brother's Keeper' initiative that is aimed to empower our youth to achieve success.
It would be a joy for me if someone who was working with me became a big success.
We all love people who give credit to others for their success. Companies would probably do better with CEOs who didn't blow their own horn and ask for ridiculous salaries and new yachts every year.
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Past performance speaks a tremendous amount about one's ability and likelihood for success.
The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success 'permanently' is to reset your financial thermostat. But it is your choice whether you choose to change.
Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.
Success, to me, is something new and vibrant.
The answers to all a startup's challenges are out there. By setting up the right mechanisms for gathering feedback, the road to success can be a less bumpy ride.
Success in war and preservation of a country's social framework as a purpose at least equal in importance to welfare of individuals.
By seizing the opportunities that disruption presents and leveraging hard times into greater success through outworking/outinnovating/outthinking and outworking everyone around you, this just might be the richest time of your life so far.
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
I worked with fantastic actors, fantastic directors. People I would never otherwise have met. Was I limited? Yes. Did I use it as I could have? No. But I was always ambivalent about Hollywood and what I wanted. And ambivalence in our business is no good for success.
Things can turn ugly so quickly in the music business, especially if you have an unexpected success.
Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave, an instrument of the will and interests of others.
Success is the sweetest revenge.
The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives.
Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success.
