Organizational culture begins in HR. This means to hire for attitude and train for skill.
Many times the wrong train took me to the right place.
I've known the glory of the stage and the glory of the spotlight. I still crave it. I want to be on 'American Bandstand' and 'Soul Train' as a solo artist. As a producer, songwriter and arranger, I help other artists say what they want to say. But on my records, I say what I want to say.
As long as I have that support from my team, and I have that confidence in myself that I train really hard, I think there's no one out there who can defeat me in my weight class.
I'm attracted to creative people and train wrecks, and there's no shortage of that in Los Angeles.
You need to be able to hit, kick, grapple, wrestle, but for me so much of this is about the mind, about feeling you are in complete control of the space around you, and you know what to do at any moment. That is a wonderful feeling, but it doesn't just happen, you have to work for it, train for it, think about it all the time.
Quality training is what I do now; before it was a combination of both quality and quantity. Now I'm not trying to be a world-class athlete, I don't need to train at that level. It's about being fit, fit for life.
I love to rock, but it's liberating not to always have to keep up with the freight train that is the Old 97's
That's one of the horrors of war, that you can train a person, train them to hate, train them to kill. It's a terrible thought.
I hate that our brains are wired that way. You don't remember the people that raved about us or just said something nice - I don't know why that's not in us to focus on *that*. But I think it takes a conscious effort to train our minds to change that.
I always travel first class on a train. It's the only way to avoid one's creditors.
No job in America should go unfilled because somebody doesn't have the right skills to get that job, nobody. So, if there's a job open, we should train those folks right away so that they can do the job.
Writing is like a bird-watcher watching for birds: the stories are there: you just have to train yourself to look for them.
I generally circuit train and do Pilates.
Consistency is a virtue for trains.
The streets of a modern city are depressing. They are so aimless and so weak in their lines and their masses, that the mind and senses jog on their way like passengers in a train with blinds down in an overcrowded carriage.
The teaching on karma starts with the principle that people experience happiness and sorrow based on a combination of their past and present intentions. If we act with unskillful intentions either for ourselves or for others, we’re going to suffer. If we act with skillful intentions, we’ll experience happiness. So if we want to be happy, we have to train our intentions to always be skillful.
Sometimes, when we train, we simply have to go out to meet the Man with the Hammer
Resolutely train yourself to attain peace
Before you ridicule, remember somebody on a railway platform who seems to be train spotting may actually be writing poetry.
