Modeling a behavior is 100x stronger than telling someone to act differently. Kids imitate the habits of their parents. Teammates match the competitive energy of one another. Employees learn to manage like their supervisor. Be...

Grandchildren are their grandparents’ toys.

It’s not easy to kill; it’s not supposed to be. If it is, then there’s something wrong with you. But sometimes good people have to do unpleasant things just so we can come home at...

We didn’t have as many kids in the student section as we normally do, and we figure the band is worth six to 10 points.

The big guys who ran things didn’t want you thinking or feeling. It slowed down production. They wanted you scared and working so you wouldn’t bump up against the truth–life could be fun. Yup, they...

It’s crazy how you hear the story of The Tortoise and the Hare while growing up, and assume it’s just a nice thing to tell kids—and then you start your career and watch it actually...

What a great thing to have your first-year kids learning lessons from a guy who played the game like that.

I don’t talk about winning nine straight. All I talk to the kids about is trying to get over their bad shots, putting them behind quickly and keeping on an even keel emotionally. We’re not...

They range from senior citizens, barbershop quartets to kids just starting out performing.

Teach them what you love to do in life. It really doesn’t matter what it is. It never does. Just show them how important a passion is . . .

Share a book and you’ll make a friend!

It was nice to see our kids make such a turnaround,

On the one hand, people think they own kids; they feel that they have the right to tell the kids what to do. On the other hand, people envy kids. We’d like to be kids...

We’re excited to get into the playoffs. The kids worked hard all year. It was do-or-die.

We’re starting to click at the right time, and I think that’s key. We’ve got five kids on the floor at all times that are capable of scoring in double digits.

But puberty was ‘¦ well, before puberty, at school, I didn’t tell kids I was a transvestite Ë cause I thought they might kill me with sticks, you know?

I saw a lot more try in them. I took six kids to this tournament and everybody had at least one win. It was a good event for everybody.

We have a good nucleus of kids coming back and another solid group coming up behind them. We’ll be a challenge, no doubt. Kids like Wolf and (sophomore) Guy Price and some of the others,...

Nine is nine years too young to be a mother.

My daughter breaks both her wrists jumping off of a swing. Her friend, who is five, told her to jump off of it. I promise nothing will happen, she said. But why did she promise...

Our kids really like it. We’ll get them ready for next week. It was good. I was happy with how we did. The Tualatin boys were going to be tough to beat. They’re very deep.

We’ve had to practically drag the kids out of there to let another group in.

Being from the southern part of the state, the kids don’t get the same recognition as they do up in Indianapolis, and I understand that. Maybe this will help improve their stock.

We just keep making so many mental mistakes. I think the kids are tired. It’s a long season, and we hadn’t played at home in almost a month. But we need to play better than...

There’s always something you’ve never seen before. (But) I was proud of the kids. It was a tough way to lose, but they showed a lot of character and that was good to see.

People have all this resentment against their parents for fucking them up, but they never realize, the minute they have a kid, that they cease being the child so fondly victimized in their hearts and...

He understood it when other kids were mean to him. It didn’t bother him. He simply hated them. As long as he hated them, it didn’t matter what they thought of him.

These kids are so enthusiastic.

Julia heard from her mummy that fairies were gentle creatures with singing voices just like the mermaids.

It was amazing to see them like little kids, jumping up and down,

From the moment I met Christina Georgia, I knew why Mr. Bradshaw had chosen her. She was incredibly smart and thoughtful, and her emerald green eyes were huge and wise. Her wispy blond hair was...

I am all for it. We don’t have nothing for the kids to do here.

They’re just normal everyday kids.

To have a team do so well, you can’t have selfish kids. Everyone is unselfish, and Donna definitely leads in that category.

Instead of communicating “I love you, so let me make life easy for you,” I decided that my message needed to be something more along these lines: “I love you. I believe in you. I...

This program has tasted success and what these kids want to do is keep that rolling.

Give the kids 24 hours to clean it up. When I had kids, and they had a party downstairs . . . I would make a lot of noise before I’d go downstairs so I...

I knew we had the bats to come back. Everybody was starting to get a little nervous. The kids played well.

The hardest thing we deal with as coaches is that it works. It’s not like people are telling these kids, ‘Hey, don’t use this stuff because it doesn’t work.’ It works. They know it works....

Our kids played extremely hard. (Harding) just shot so well.

Our kids have played hard from the get-go, but they just didn’t understand positioning very well. That’s what we spent the most time on, playing the angles and being in the right position to make...

I want kids to remember that they should learn not because they have to, but because they want to. I want them to pick a career they want as opposed to looking through the want...

We’ve been so close, it’s been so frustrating in the first five weeks. We told our kids that it was very important for us to really play well. On the offensive line, we told them...

I find it very, very hard. He was part of the fabric of my life. We were kids together, and teenagers. We spent the whole of our lives with each other because of our music.

Our job is to get the kids ready physically and mentally, but emotionally as well. What you tell the kids is, ‘It’s just a basketball game.’ You have to rely on all the time and...

We were having some trouble with their zone in the first half. The kids did exactly what I told them to do, and we were able to make some plays late.

I was proud of my guys Saturday on a number of levels. Our kids played hard, they played tough but most of all they finished.

Our kids came out tonight, competed and enjoyed the moment and got after it. I thought we played the whole game well. We defended the field well, our hitters had great approaches at the plate...

We are fortunate to have so much talent on the mound. It is a luxury. We won’t burn kids out or overuse them.

I kind of get choked up when I see the kids look at the medals. Maybe that will provide them with a little spark in one kid to pursue his own Olympic dreams. Maybe one...
