Challenged Quotations | Page 3

We'll get better and correct those mistakes. We're going to have to in the next couple of weeks because we're going to be challenged even more.

When the war closed we were challenged with a peace-time choice between the American system of rugged individualism and a European philosophy of diametrically opposed doctrines - doctrines of paternalism and state socialism

We played with much better energy than yesterday. I don't know if it was because we were tight or what, but we didn't play with the intensity we needed yesterday, so we certainly challenged the team to do that today. Everyone stepped up and we had much better at bats. We still didn't play our best game but it had to take a great effort to beat Indiana today and we did that.

We played a real lackluster game. It wasn't very good. (We) challenged the kids at practice yesterday (Monday) because we were rained out.

We played a lot better in the second half, we just didn't come out with a lot of fire (to start the game). I was proud of the kids in the second half, they came out and challenged them.

We pride ourselves on our half court defense and there wasn't much pride for it in the third quarter. I challenged them a little bit before the fourth and they just stepped up.

We didn't pull out a marker and get on the board at halftime. We just kind of appealed to their competitive nature and challenged them in terms of where they want to go and how they want their season to play out.

We're logistically challenged in recruiting, and sometimes we're a little late on guys, and we don't get the best athletes in America. So our walk-on program has to strengthen the efforts we have with scholarship players. Local kids are sometimes overlooked because they're not as fast or as big or as strong, and they come in here with the attitude of, 'I'm good enough to play.' If they prove it, we give them a scholarship.

We beat a very good Ole Miss team today. They came out and took it to us in doubles. Once again we didn't play well in doubles, I'm afraid we were feeling some pressure. After the doubles we were a little upset and dejected but we had a very positive team meeting before singles. I challenged the guys to show us what they were made of. You can't win every match 7-0 or 6-1, you have to win the close ones too. We knew it wasn't going to be easy but its worth going after. I am so proud of the way they competed. These are the moments that matter and you remember forever.

We had a tougher schedule. We challenged all those teams and that does play a difference. ... Those teams prepare you.

Today we challenged them to be more aggressive. They did a better job today.

We definitely challenged ourselves by not putting ourselves in positions to be successful at times. All of our girls struggle with that so it was good to finish on the note they did on a nice 6-0 run. That's what you build on and that's what you take to have that confidence to know you can control the match when you choose to.

We didn't have our heads in the game in the first half. But this team never ceases to amaze me. They were challenged and they stepped up.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

There are many things I can improve on. I'm challenged every day, and I still want to work hard and earn what I've been afforded.

With a fixed mindset, you believe you are who you are and you cannot change. This creates problems when you're challenged because anything that appears to be more than you can handle is bound to make you feel hopeless and overwhelmed.

We really challenged our kids last week. We've never gone to Trinidad and had a great game. Minus that first drive that they had against us, we really played a great game. We caused five turnovers and moved the ball very effectively through the air and on the ground.

We put two things on the board before the game run and rebound. Those two things go together, and we challenged them.

We just weren't getting after it. (Oregon State's Mandy Close) is their best three-point shooter. You don't give her a three-pointer. We weren't taking things away. I just challenged them to start doing the things that they're capable of doing, and they did.

We're not looking to abandon them, we're not looking to betray them, we're not looking to do anything that is designed to harm their business. At the same time, what we can't do is we can't let a fear of that relationship being challenged or creating tension with them get in the way of following consumers who are going to other places. We just can't do that.

Why do I want to be challenged or have challenges? That's why I don't go climb mountains.

This reexamination is concluded, but that doesn't mean this patent can't ever be challenged again.

When you have had a big lead since polling began and all of a sudden you are being seriously challenged and perhaps being passed in the horse race, it is difficult to adjust and get back on message.

The players challenged themselves to pick it up defensively. We didn't shoot the ball particularly well tonight. We had a good team effort. We had a lot of contribution from a lot of different people.

Without referring to anybody directly, one of the problems with confrontational public negotiating is that it runs the risk of alienating a public with a median family income of $35,000. So that when a player is complaining publicly that he's only being paid $7-million a year instead of $9-million, a fan can look at that with real anger. And an owner who's challenged publicly may simply become more locked in and less apt to ever compromise.

With the Chelsea salad we challenged Tana Ramsay to create a terrifically tasty all-season salad that - like the salad greats - is a simple combination of ingredients which produces a really memorable meal that customers will be tempted to re-order time and again.

When you are in a poor country that is challenged just to meet kind of basic needs, compensating farmers adequately and having a framework for doing that gets to be an expensive proposition.

When we initially hired him, we were looking for a turnaround, and we called him a turnaround specialist, ... That's exactly what he did. For me, he really taught the organization what it was to win, and to work hard. It was all about winning early on, every game. He set the tone in the clubhouse, then the working hard. He was out here before the players often, and working hard. Then he challenged a lot of the young players here who had not been challenged to work harder.

But our players know. This is still Baltimore. They still have some good players, and their coach challenged them and they responded.

The government has only made cosmetic changes to its vague and ambiguous proposal. Their plan remains unprecedented, excessive, and harmful. The exercise of the past few days does not substitute in any way for a legitimate process, in which Microsoft could have challenged the government's assumptions and assertions related to its unprecedented breakup plan and draconian regulations.

We're thrilled for Jamie to have found a school that is a great fit for her both academically and athletically. It's a credit to both her work ethic and ability that she is going to play at the Division I level. Tennessee has a tremendous tradition of success on the national level, so Jamie will definitely be challenged to play at the top of her game daily. That can only make her an even better collegiate player.

We've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.

We've been challenged all year long by our opponents. We're the team that they want to beat, which could make their season.

We were extremely pleased with the quantity and quality of business plan summaries we received for consideration and we were challenged to narrow the field to a manageable number to accommodate the logistics of the fair. Each of the presenting companies has a compelling business plan and we expect to see angel investors giving a good, hard look at each of these deals during the Angel Fair.

We were down big and it was just real gutsy for us to be able to come back. We challenged ourselves in the huddle. We knew we hadn't played good 'D' at all, and for three quarters there we played lock-down, solid defense. That was huge, it was big for our confidence. That was our mission and our goal going into this trip, to win each game, and we did that.

While we believe server-based computing will continue to be a healthy trend, we believe Citrix may be challenged to grow at faster than 25 percent longer term,

The reason Silver Lake exists is that as the technology industry matured, we saw there would be a role for private equity in technology, just as there is in other fields. When we started Silver Lake, we challenged the notion that tech was too volatile, too young, too unstable, to support private equity investment.

We focused on the two of them, and we challenged the other players to beat us. And, their role players had trouble doing that.

We were obviously inconsistent. Downers Grove South was a big reason for that. They challenged every cut offensively and those two big guys just limit your shots. To make matters worse, we allowed our offensive troubles to spill over to the defensive end.

We knew he was going to be good. He was very quick, he was really quick. One thing that impressed me the most about him was that he challenged the shooters. Those were the two biggest things I saw with him the freshman year. He also did a lot of work off ice, got into better leagues and worked hard to improve himself.

We lost everything. That's a challenge. Not many of these kids have had a whole lot of varsity experience. I have a lot of seniors on this team and I've challenged them to continue what last year's team did.

We won on a different level of play. Things such as winning balls in the air, passing and challenging the other team aggressively were key throughout the game. We challenged and we played throughout. I'm proud of the efforts.

We challenged them. We said, 'Let's build on it and keep the intensity up' and they did,

We challenged them to throw the out and they didn't want to throw the out, they wanted to throw the ball down the field. Once we backed off, they seemed to quit on throwing that fade.

We challenged them in the second half and said if we're going to win the ballgame, it's going to be up front. Those kids really came through for us, ... I'm very excited. There's not too many seasons I start out feeling that great about our line and the way we're playing, but I think they're even going to get better.

We challenged them before the game and I think they did a good job. We have always emphasized free throw shooting and today we were 14-for-18. That made a huge difference in the outcome of the game.

We challenged them at both ends, we just had too many turnovers. We just couldn't control the ball. I'm proud of them. They showed a lot of heart and a lot of hustle and hopefully when they go to high school they will learn from this experience. This is the farthest we have ever been and I look forward to being back again.

We challenged the kids, and they answered the call today.

We challenged their shooters well, (freshman guard Bobby) Riddell hit a couple at the end, but I think we did a good job of challenging their jump shooters.

We challenged the girls at halftime to step up.

We challenged Rene a couple weeks ago to step up and be the player he was in the middle of the season, and over the course of the last two weeks he's responded. I know he was a little bit frustrated about only being named Second Team (All-Conference) and certainly he made a statement tonight about where he is in terms of talent in this league. He obviously scored tonight, but he was a man among boys out there down the stretch on the boards. And that was the key reason why we were successful.

We challenged ourselves this week to know the Giants better than they knew themselves.

We challenged our kids. Someone wrote in one of the papers that no one would want to play Shamokin in February. I told them 'you've got the chance girls and it won't be easy.' We had a long time to practice for them and the kids just executed perfectly tonight.

We challenged our kids all week. You can tell a lot about a team by how they respond to a loss, and our guys came to play tonight.

We challenged Lee this week at practice and I think that he did a good job tonight kicking.

We challenged him and have been expecting him to have this kind of game. Hopefully, this will jump start him.

We challenged Heather pretty hard in practice the other day, and to her credit she stepped in and made some huge shots.

We challenged Ben to make his contributions on defense; he was to go at (No.) 52 (Burr). Ben was a big part of that. Making that adjustment was probably the key to the game.

We challenged Adrian to become more of a force inside. And Alex played solid backcourt basketball and was a steadying influence for us. We were more consistent on both offense and defense this time.

You either get the movie or you don't, and if you don't get it, it's just the dumbest movie of all time. Some people are really challenged by it. It makes them incredibly uncomfortable, I think, and they come up with various reasons why that's not their fault.

We shot way too many (3-pointers). Even though (Michael) Holmes blocked about 10 shots, probably, we should have gotten the ball and challenged him a whole lot more -- at least pulling up for that 7-footer, but we never did that.

There have been an enormous number of people given an opportunity that if the IRL did not exist would never have had that shot, ... If you stop to think about what we've been able to accomplish, it's incredibly rare in today's society that an individual has been able to create something that he believes in and has challenged the establishment, and which in a period of time has not only survived but has become the establishment.

was amazing. You don't have a choice but to play your best. They force you do do that because they're smart and that's the fun part for me, I'm being challenged to think faster and be creative.

We are still challenged by the continuing increases in cost of goods. As a result, we plan to implement price increases on certain products during the third quarter of this year.

We didn't make any adjustments in the second half. All we said was, 'We're not playing Bassett basketball. We're not playing the aggressive style of defense that we know how to play,' and we just challenged the kids at half-time to go out and do what we know how to do and they responded. I was proud of that effort in the second half.

We are going to continue to be challenged and we are looking forward to it. It's not easy. You want losing to be tough. But we've got to get over it when we go to Arkansas.

Bill challenged us a little bit, that this week was a little bit different than the others. The fact that our team answered that challenge, I think, says something about us.

As the Kindle's dread grip on digital publishing is challenged by tablet computers and Android smartphones, with their bright screens and high resolution, the need for illustration is growing.

Disney's challenged the zoo world to up the ante. The trend is to be more theatrical, put storytelling in there. But they shouldn't try to go to the level of 'faux authenticity' that Disney can achieve.

And with fee demonstration funding, Glacier has been able to put a lot of funding into making it more accessible. The key element is that the physically challenged visitor wants to have the same experience the other visitors have. They don't want to be singled out.

Argentina has challenged the international community much more than other countries have dared to.

Essentially, the company has decided to divest itself of its, by far, most successful and most prized business, and it's going to retain two businesses that I consider challenged at this point.

Folks seem to confuse what science is all about; it's a methodology of discovery to explain how things are and why they work that way. Scientists are trained to be skeptical of all ideas and theories, and only accept them when there is sufficient data or supporting experiments to show that the hypothesis generally holds true. Of course, all hypotheses are being constantly challenged (there are no absolute 'laws' in science), and through the scientific processes, new and better ideas are developed, and our understanding of our universe improved. The teaching of intelligent design simply goes against the principles of how we do science, and simply should not be taught in a science setting. ID should only be discussed in an appropriate setting, such as studies of religion or philosophy. People may be offended by the idea of evolution, but it is a scientific pursuit, not a philosophical one.

Everything we do starts with our defense. I started to watch them stand around in the second quarter, so I just challenged them at halftime to dig deep down.

There's no game tonight if Flats is not sharp. You have to be honest with the performance he put together here. Wade Flaherty was the difference. I've challenged him a little bit lately and he responded like a real pro.

The top players are playing better. Mike Weir , Jim Furyk , Ernie Els , Vijay Singh, myself... Phil Mickelson and David Duval were the exceptions, but overall, most of the guys you'd expect to challenge Tiger stepped up and challenged him. Were there classic duels with Tiger down the stretch this year? No, not really. Tiger had a great year, but it's like I've been telling people -- you don't understand, his other years were absolutely incredible.

I've challenged the team to make sure in the future when we have leads that we don't let another team back in the game.

I've challenged them to be prepared to get better every night. They want respect, but they haven't done what they need to do to get it yet. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this loss.

They appeared to have challenged the victim and his friends' right to be in there in their territory.

The whole notion that police officers won't cooperate, this blue wall of silence thing -- the police commissioner and I challenged the police officers to break that silence, ... And one police officer -- a police officer, not a civilian -- came forward and courageously gave the district attorney the information that really has helped to pull this case together.
