I used to get so upset with my father. I'd ASK him, 'Why do I have to be AROUND all these WOMEN all the time?' But in time, I learned that was an advantage.

Being a LITTLE NAIVE can WORK to your ADVANTAGE.

I didn't WANT to be taken advantage of and burnt out in the industry. I worked with my FAMILY REALLY closely, so I was able to get that respect in the industry. So now I feel that I can let my guard down. PEOPLE know who I am; I can be myself. I can be more versatile, and I can wear what I want.

The information that is passed from person to person and from generation to generation is the primary factor that gives HUMANS a COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE over other animals.

I have SEEN businesses and government come together to provide women entrepreneurs with the training they NEED to better ACCESS markets, take advantage of trade agreements, and in the process grow businesses, jobs, and GDP. These are partnerships that TRANSFORM lives.

My own BELIEFS are that the road to a scientific discovery is seldom direct and that it does not NECESSARILY require great EXPERTISE. In fact, I am convinced that often a newcomer to a field has a great advantage because he is ignorant and does not KNOW all the complicated reasons why a particular experiment should not be attempted.

I'm not against technology, but all TOOLS should be USED to their best ADVANTAGE. We should be SPENDING our time on things that have staying power, instead of on the latest thought of the latest blogger - and then moving on QUICKLY to the next blogger.

The benefits of our increasingly digital LIVES have been accompanied by NEW DANGERS, and we have been forced to consider how criminals and terrorists MIGHT use advances in technology to their advantage.

The PUBLIC lands are a public stock, which OUGHT to be disposed of to the BEST ADVANTAGE for the NATION.

Crises and deadlocks when they occur have at LEAST this ADVANTAGE, that they FORCE us to THINK.
