Social media has totally transformed the way we communicate with each other and the way we provide for needs as we see them. I've always believed that if somebody looks good, they invariably are going to feel good. And it's self-fulfilling, because you'll just relax, you'll smile, you'll think you own the world. But if you also do good, you'll feel even better. So my goal is to make what we do meaningful in as many people's lives as we can.
I think we can provide common-sense approaches to the issue of illegal guns that are ending up on the streets. We can make sure that criminals don't have guns in their hands. We can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns. We can trace guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers that may be selling to straw purchasers and dumping them on the streets.
We will allow private and religious groups to compete to provide services in every federal, state and local social program.
Provide more service than what you get paid for
Like many others, I have deep misgivings about the state of education in the United States. Too many of our students fail to graduate from high school with the basic skills they will need to succeed in the 21st Century economy, much less prepared for the rigors of college and career. Although our top universities continue to rank among the best in the world, too few American students are pursuing degrees in science and technology. Compounding this problem is our failure to provide sufficient training for those already in the workforce.
By staying true to yourself, you keep your energy high and clear, and you provide inspirational role modeling for other healers and helpers. Integrity toward yourself is a gift to the world.
Good leaders are focused, directive, and inspiring. . . in other words, purposeful. People want to look up to leaders, not because they think they are better than us, but because good leaders provide us with a sense of purpose that inspires us to do better.
How should we provide for our families? Financially, spatially (be near them), emotionally, morally, spiritually. . . . I don't have what it takes to provide for my family spiritually; I need Jesus.
There's something very noble about bringing home a paycheck to provide for oneself and one's family. However, there's so much more to work than just a paycheck. This is unfortunately a very common view which I believe accounts in part for the statistic that approximately 70% of people are disengaged at work. Think about the loss of meaning and productivity and the staggering economic implications of that statistic.
Life doesn't actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself.
Quorum and group leaders should provide the leading voice and laboring oar in every ward and branch council regarding retention of converts.
God never intended for us to rely on others for our sense of well being. Only He is equipped to provide that.
The most troublesome problem which confronts social engineering is how to provide for the untalented and, what is equally important, how to provide against them.
I have a personal belief that you never have to give up liberty for security. You can still provide security without sacrificing our Bill of Rights.
A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income, but rather to education.
I know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.
Let's provide family leave that is paid and access to affordable, high-quality childcare.
By and large, the Healing Dream is not the defender of our waking goals-material achievement, perfect romance, a modest niche in history-but an advocate-general for the soul, whose aims may be diametrically different. . . The nourishment of the dreamworld is a reciprocal affair: as we provide for it, it provides for us.
Everyone has something they don't want anyone to see; that is one of the functions of a home, to provide a spot to keep such things.
The potential of the psychedelic drugs to provide access to the interior universe, is, I believe, their most valuable property.
