I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed when it is needed.
If a guy is intimidated by a woman in leadership he has real problems with his own concepts of masculinity. That's a harsh statement but I believe it to be true.
But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.
We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge.
We have a tremendous lack of knowledge of how far we have gotten away from the Constitution of the United States. Democrats and Republicans alike have taken us away from the original intent. You see I believe in this document as our founding fathers intended it.
Religious speech is extreme emotional and motivational. It is anti-literal relying on metaphor allusion and other rhetorical devices and it assumes knowledge within a community of believers.
One could not have isolated this retrovirus without knowledge of other retroviruses that's obvious. But I believe we have answered the criteria of isolation.
For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God either by perception or reflection we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.
I do believe states' rights was a sound doctrine that got hijacked by some unsavory customers for a while - like 150 years or so. I'm professionally obliged to believe that knowledge is better than ignorance but some kinds of forgetting are OK with me.
I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out.
And that's what I truly believe that we're doing when we're advancing scientific knowledge is we're someday making the world better. Not only for our children but for all people after that.
Knowledge is power. Most of us agree that something has to be done to strengthen Social Security and I believe it's irresponsible to arbitrarily dismiss any idea Republican nor Democrat without giving it a hard look.
The Founders believed liberty came directly from God. With their knowledge of Scripture they knew each child was made in the image of God. That is why everyone had dignity value and worth.
You can do one of two things. You can bury you head in the sand and believe what everyone tells you - that you will always be that young that thin and that fabulous. Or you can use all the things you have - talent contacts knowledge - and do something different.
Learn from me if not by my precepts then by my example how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.
I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief.
