There's a LOT more to COMPETENCE than a LAW DEGREE and a modicum of courtroom SKILL.

The WAY CHILDREN are taught football doesn't encourage SKILL; the focus is on other AREAS.

BUSINESS is another kind of world that I don't think is as passionate. It is not the pressure to perform as you have in football. It is more about STRATEGY, SKILL, about how you deal with all the INFORMATION you have.

POKER is a SKILL GAME PRETENDING to be a CHANCE game.

A lot of PEOPLE relate leadership to formalities. They BELIEVE that leadership is about being professional and STRONG and always right and being a booming VOICE. I just don't buy that. I THINK that leadership is a soft skill; it's a people skill.

Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your SKILL. If you don't feel well, TELL your DOCTOR, but not the marketplace. If you need MONEY, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.

I am always concerned with FINDING the right spot and the right shot, so SOMETIMES I FORGET to appreciate the skill of my fellow adventurers, but I am aware of how my life has been CHANGED by my ability with a camera.

When LOVE and SKILL work TOGETHER, expect a masterpiece.

The real architecture HAPPENS within the WORKS themselves, and that was done by the COMPOSER. That's where the real skill is. In putting together a program, you're more a curator, but that's important as WELL. And then the interpreting of it is where our big job is.
