In a now famous commencement speech at Stanford University, Steve Jobs urged the graduating class to "stay hungry. Stay foolish." Never let go of your appetite to go after new ideas, new experiences, and new adventures. Compete with yourself, not with others. Judge yourself on what is your personal best and you'll accomplish more than you could ever have imagined. Life stops for no one, so keep moving. Stay awake and stay alive. ~ Sophia Amoruso
Personal Best quotes by Sophia Amoruso
Lance Armstrong pushes the envelope in terms of the human experience. You can have a personal best, you can push your own envelope. For Lance, the person pushing him is him. The only person he's competing with, I think, is himself. To push that limit to the next step. There's a lot to learn from him. Lots. ~ Robin Williams
Personal Best quotes by Robin Williams
Never let go of your appetite to go after new ideas, new experiences, and new adventures. Compete with yourself, not with others. Judge yourself on what is your personal best and you'll accomplish more than you could ever have imagined. Life stops for no one, so keep moving. Stay awake and stay alive. There's no AutoCorrect in life - think before texting the universe. Breaking the rules just for fun is too easy - the real challenge lies in perfecting the art of knowing which rules to accept and which to rewrite. The more you experiment, take risks, and make mistakes, the better you'll know yourself, the better you'll know the world, and the more focused you'll be. ~ Sophia Amoruso
Personal Best quotes by Sophia Amoruso
Why could nothing with Kate be simple? Why couldn't Jim ever just come by to tell me that he had bowled a perfect game or benched a personal best.
Maybe finally asked that weird tiger girl out. ~ Ilona Andrews
Personal Best quotes by Ilona Andrews
You want useless, you have come to the right guy. I can be useless for hours at a time. Weeks even. I'm currently closing in on a month of being totally useless, which is by way of being a personal best. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Personal Best quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
Rob yourself of sleep and you'll find you do not function at your personal best. ~ Arianna Huffington
Personal Best quotes by Arianna Huffington
I was really happy with my race, though. I beat my personal best by 1.2 seconds. ~ Bonnie Blair
Personal Best quotes by Bonnie Blair
I train myself mentally with visualization. The morning of a tournament, before I put my feet on the floor, I visualize myself making perfect runs with emphasis on technique, all the way through to what my personal best is in practice ... The more you work with this type of visualization, especially when you do it on a day-to-day basis, you'll actually begin to feel your muscles contracting at the appropriate times. ~ Camille Duvall
Personal Best quotes by Camille Duvall
I guess I'm a pretty curious person. I like doing new things. I like being challenged. I'm competitive. Trying to beat my personal best. ~ Adina Porter
Personal Best quotes by Adina Porter
Aging is a myth, he argued, and he showed it by posting his personal best at 3:01 in his 61st year. ~ George Sheehan
Personal Best quotes by George Sheehan
The beauty of running is its simplicity; the beauty of runners is that we all have a similar drive to improve. We are either trying to run a personal best, or toeing the line for the first time, which will snowball into a future of trying to run personal bests. We road racers are a tight community of mileage-happy, limit-pushing athletes. ~ Deena Kastor
Personal Best quotes by Deena Kastor
Ingrid Kristiansen then has smashed the world record, running the 5000 metres in 14:58.89. Truly amazing. Incidentally, this is a personal best for Ingrid Kristiansen. ~ David Coleman
Personal Best quotes by David Coleman
I just want to give my best in London, I want to cross that line and see a personal best on the clock then I will see what position I am in. ~ Asafa Powell
Personal Best quotes by Asafa Powell
True leaders bring out your personal best. They ignite your human potential. ~ John Paul Warren
Personal Best quotes by John Paul Warren
It's unbelievable I'm swimming so fast. I went in with no expectations. I just went out hoping to get a personal best. I went out there with a smile, just to have fun and see what would happen. ~ Jade Edmistone
Personal Best quotes by Jade Edmistone
Set your standards high; namely, do the absolute best of which you are capable. Focus on running the race rather than winning it. Do those things necessary to bring forth your personal best and don't lose sleep worrying about the competition. Let the competition lose sleep worrying about you. Teach your organization to do the same. ~ John Wooden
Personal Best quotes by John Wooden
Too bad Justice refused to let him toss live grenades to the side of the course. That would add motivation. He knew from personal experience. His personal best time for a quarter-mile run had been in Africa - while being chased by an angry rhino. Imminent death made for a great workout. ~ Susan Mallery
Personal Best quotes by Susan Mallery
While our institutional mission and destiny are not in doubt, how we each participate and understand our individual responsibilities requires constant attention, effort, and vigilance. BYU will progress and prosper, but our individual success is not guaranteed without our own personal best efforts and worthily received blessings. ~ Cecil O. Samuelson
Personal Best quotes by Cecil O. Samuelson
My top three personal best-dressed list: Lea Michele. I think she really knows how to dress. Blake Lively is great. And Rihanna. I really respect how bold and out-there she is. ~ Janel Parrish
Personal Best quotes by Janel Parrish
If you are training properly, you should progress steadily. This doesn't necessarily mean a personal best every time you race ... Each training session should be like putting money in the bank. If your training works, you continue to deposit into your 'strength' account ... Too much training has the opposite effect. Rather than build, it tears down. Your body will tell when you have begun to tip the balance. Just be sure to listen to it. ~ Grete Waitz
Personal Best quotes by Grete Waitz
No longer will I measure myself against competitors, who don't even know that a race is being run. From now on, I will measure myself against the man in front of me. I will measure myself against a new personal best, achieving my next ambitious goal. ~ Chris Murray
Personal Best quotes by Chris Murray
I have a phenomenal team behind me who have helped get me here and I, along with them, will now put everything we can into the final few weeks of preparations before the Olympic Games, where I am aiming to race well, work well through the rounds, post good times and maybe even a personal best time on the biggest stage of them all. ~ Oscar Pistorius
Personal Best quotes by Oscar Pistorius
Change becomes a waste for those who do not desire to learn from it. It pushes us to bring out our personal best. It makes us realize that we are uniquely different with the capabilities to grow and shine brightly. ~ Kcat Yarza
Personal Best quotes by Kcat Yarza
You are not an athlete because of what you can do, but because of who you are: a team player, someone who never quits, who strives to be his personal best, and who believes in fair play. ~ Rosemary Rawlins
Personal Best quotes by Rosemary Rawlins
I am the flower child who will not wilt. You couldn't have asked for anything more. ~ Annie Golden
Personal Best quotes by Annie Golden
Remember that people who seek to do evil can play hit and miss all they want. People who are seeking companionship online have to be right every time. Miss out on this one and the price could be very dear, even costing your life. ~ John Patrick Hickey
Personal Best quotes by John Patrick Hickey
To feel our character, our personality, and our personal, hard-won history fade from being is to be exposed to whatever lies beneath these comforting, operational conveniences. What remains when the conscious and functioning self has been erased is mankind's fundamental condition – irrational, violent, guilt-wracked, despairing, and mad. ~ Peter Straub
Personal Best quotes by Peter Straub
What, then, is the soul of community? It is a desire to be connected with something greater than the egos of other people and the projects in which we might engage with them. Fundamentally, a successful human community is the unfolding of a spiritual dynamic. It cannot be contrived or made to happen. Rather, it erupts from our desire for the depths, and that desire is certain to constellate the shadow in ourselves and the other. ~ Carolyn Baker
Personal Best quotes by Carolyn Baker
Luck is personal; we all have our own. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's yours, and it follows you wherever you go...And luck can change, because as my nana always insisted, luck was a state of mind. ~ Lynne Matson
Personal Best quotes by Lynne Matson
My personal decorating style is cozy, romantic and a little rustic, with a sense of whimsy. ~ Kimberly Schlapman
Personal Best quotes by Kimberly Schlapman
Disruptive awakening is your signal that you're ready to take the initial step toward attaining your authentic identity and moving into a more deeply guided awareness of your personal path and purpose in life. While awakening experiences are often unexpected, and even scary, in truth they are invitations from your Spirit to remember and begin living at the highest level of your inner truth. ~ Sonia Choquette
Personal Best quotes by Sonia Choquette
Even if through simple living and rigorous recycling you stopped your own average Americans annual one ton of garbage production, your per capita share of the industrial waste produced in the US is still almost twenty-six tons. That's thirty-seven times as much waste as you were able to save by eliminating a full 100 percent of your personal waste. Industrialism itself is what has to stop. ~ Derrick Jensen
Personal Best quotes by Derrick Jensen
Ironically, gratitude's most powerful mysteries are often revealed when we are struggling in the midst of personal turmoil. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
Personal Best quotes by Sarah Ban Breathnach
Never before have you had the chance to build a personal brain like you can today. ~ Areva Martin
Personal Best quotes by Areva Martin
Those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men leave behind them something real and warmly personal ... the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette. ~ James Thurber
Personal Best quotes by James Thurber
There is a deep gap between our thinking about statistics and our thinking about individual cases. Statistical results with a causal interpretation have a stronger effect on our thinking than noncausal information. But even compelling causal statistics will not change long-held beliefs or beliefs rooted in personal experience. On the other hand, surprising individual cases have a powerful impact and are a more effective tool for teaching psychology because the incongruity must be resolved and embedded in a causal story. ~ Daniel Kahneman
Personal Best quotes by Daniel Kahneman
Running … led to a deep happiness that only comes from doing what you love, what your soul screams at you to do upon waking each day. ~ S.F. Hick
Personal Best quotes by S.F. Hick
In my personal recovery, mindfulness has helped me to become aware of my trauma responses and given me an anchor to stay present when I have been triggered. Being able to feel my triggers without reacting must be largely credited to learning to anchor myself in my body through mindful body scan meditation. ~ Christopher Dines
Personal Best quotes by Christopher Dines
Know your limit and circle of influence; you are not called to meet the needs of everyone ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive
Personal Best quotes by Bernard Kelvin Clive
As a teacher and parent, I've had a very personal interest in seeking new ways of teaching. Like most other teachers and parents, I've been well aware painfully so, at times that the whole teaching/learning process is extraordinarily imprecise, most of the time a hit-and-miss operation. Students may not learn what we think we are teaching them and what they learn may not be what we intended to teach them at all. ~ Betty Edwards
Personal Best quotes by Betty Edwards
Do you remember that big speech I made in your garage?"
"Which one?" I sighed. "You've made several. I'm contemplating installing a personal soapbox with your name on it."
"The one where I said you would beg to climb into my bed?"
"Ah. That one. How could I forget? I kept waiting for you to pound your chest like a silverback gorilla. ~ Ilona Andrews
Personal Best quotes by Ilona Andrews
Everything in the universe wants to be loved and accepted. Our personal work is to find the love and acceptance within ourselves. ~ Shakti Gawain
Personal Best quotes by Shakti Gawain
Question everything and start from yourself. ~ Iisakki Totuudentalo
Personal Best quotes by Iisakki Totuudentalo
Truly successful writers blend the personal and the profound to enlighten and entertain readers while simultaneously banking something for posterity. Remuneration is a wonderful afterthought. ~ Stewart Stafford
Personal Best quotes by Stewart Stafford
What does it mean to be a conservative? I don't even know anymore. I know what it means to me. It means to me, personal responsibility. That if I've done something wrong, its up to me to pay the price. It's up to me to make it right. ~ Glenn Beck
Personal Best quotes by Glenn Beck
Personal connections lead to assignments and promotions, so it needs to be okay for men and women to spend informal time together the same way men can. A senior man and a junior man at a bar is seen as mentoring. A senior man and a junior woman at a bar can also be mentoring ... but is looks like dating. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Personal Best quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Confronted by an absolutely infuriating review, it is sometimes helpful for the victim to do a little personal research on the critic. Is there any truth to the rumor that he had no formal education beyond the age of eleven? In any event, is he able to construct a simple English sentence? Do his participles dangle? When moved to lyricism, does he write "I had a fun time"? Was he ever arrested for burglary? I don't know that you will prove anything this way, but it is perfectly harmless and quite soothing. ~ Jean Kerr
Personal Best quotes by Jean Kerr
I can feel my life changing and I'm not ready. ~ Jennifer Elisabeth
Personal Best quotes by Jennifer Elisabeth
He felt, and not for the first time today, that he had not made a good decision in his personal or professional life since 1989. ~ Michael Chabon
Personal Best quotes by Michael Chabon
Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ which nothing can shake. ~ Oswald Chambers
Personal Best quotes by Oswald Chambers
A French essayist has said: 'What is terrible when you seek the truth, is that you find it.' You find it, and then you are no longer free to follow the biases of your personal circle, or to accept fashionable clichés. I immediately discerned within the Russian Revolution the seeds of such serious evils as intolerance and the drive towards the persecution of dissent. These evils originated in an absolute sense of possession of the truth, grafted upon doctrinal rigidity. What followed was contempt for the man who was different, of his arguments and way of life. Undoubtedly, one of the greatest problems which each of us has to solve in the realm of practice is that of accepting the necessity to maintain, in the midst of intransigence which comes from steadfast beliefs, a critical spirit towards these same beliefs and a respect for the belief that differs. In the struggle, it is the problem of combining the greatest practical efficiency with respect for the man in the enemy - in a word, of war without hate. ~ Victor Serge
Personal Best quotes by Victor Serge
In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family. ~ Monica Bellucci
Personal Best quotes by Monica Bellucci
My thing was always more character-driven comedies, not sketch comedy - not that there's not room for both or one isn't enjoyable, just my personal taste, I like movies that comedy comes from out of flaws of people, things that are uncomfortable, out of tragedy. ~ Vince Vaughn
Personal Best quotes by Vince Vaughn
The more that you're knowing, the more you will be feeling and seeing, the more that you will hurt in your heart, and in your self. Deep heart understanding replaces your need and your holding of personal truths. ~ John De Ruiter
Personal Best quotes by John De Ruiter
Giving a voice to your feelings is a necessary personal freedom. ~ Deborah Sandella
Personal Best quotes by Deborah Sandella
Another afternoon: I'm unshaven, dishes are fermenting in the kitchen sink and my shirt smells like a teenage boy's bedroom. There were no clean spoons around the house so I ate cottage cheese with a plastic tortoiseshell shoehorn that was lying next to the couch - so I guess I've hit a new personal low. ~ Douglas Coupland
Personal Best quotes by Douglas Coupland
I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do. ~ Mary Archer
Personal Best quotes by Mary Archer
There have been reports of many child marriages taking place in the Malabar region in Kerala, especially among the Muslim community. However, under Muslim Personal Law, a girl can be married once she attains puberty, and hence we cannot say that such marriages are not valid. ~ Girija Vyas
Personal Best quotes by Girija Vyas
I believe a relationship with a country is simply bound to the interests of two countries and not by personal issues. ~ Saad Hariri
Personal Best quotes by Saad Hariri
I was raised in a typical Puritan Midwestern Methodist home and there was a lot of hurt and hypocrisy in those times. And I think that whatever part Playboy played and that I managed to play in terms of the sexual revolution came out of what I saw in the negative part of that life and tried to change things in some positive way so that people could choose alternate personal ways of living their lives. ~ Hugh Hefner
Personal Best quotes by Hugh Hefner
I was uncomfortable writing fiction. My love was the personal essay, rather than the novel. ~ Alain De Botton
Personal Best quotes by Alain De Botton
I don't like talking too much about my personal life, but it all goes into my work. ~ Ottessa Moshfegh
Personal Best quotes by Ottessa Moshfegh
Celine glanced up as she passed under an arch, at another of the chateau's decorations, her personal favorite: the entwined letters G and R, carved over every doorway. Family legend had it that one of the original owners of the chateau, a knight by the name of Sir Gaston de Varennes, was responsible for that bit of artwork. Sir Gaston, it seemed, had been quite a ladies' man - until he had met and married his wife, whom he loved so much, he had had her initial engraved with his in every castle he owned. ~ Shelly Thacker
Personal Best quotes by Shelly Thacker
Drawing on President Bush's reform plan, which would allow citizens to transfer part of their Social Security contributions into personal accounts, an alteration of the current system is needed to make necessary change. ~ James A. Leach
Personal Best quotes by James A. Leach
Your personal will is the web your disease sits and spins in. The will you call your own ceased to be yours as of who knows how many Substance-drenched years ago. ~ David Foster Wallace
