Pushing Quotations | Page 5

Our players play a physical type of game. Some teams aren't used to that and don't like it, and feel we are playing dirty. But they were pushing our players from behind and knocked down a few.

Passion is different than desire. People that are successful recognize passion. You have to be willing to work at it. I love the image of pushing a boulder uphill - it will flourish you.

Paul built a really excellent squad at Lyon. There were lots of good young players pushing for a place in the side and he often talked about that. In each team-talk, he insisted on the importance of the role played by the substitutes and the other squad members. As long as those guys had the hunger to want to replace us, then we would go far.

My training is basically for dialing in my style and my airs, cleaning everything up and pushing myself to go faster in the bumps. John Rice has pretty much given me his mountain. He not only gave me a pass, but the whole mountain to use for training. I am very blessed to have such an amazing ski area as my backyard.

My staff would probably tell you that I don't want to leave events very quickly, and they're always pushing me to get me out the door.

Looking ahead at productivity assumptions, we realize that we must be very aggressive in pushing for improvements in manufacturing productivity. Part of the productivity formula includes serious preparation for larger wafer sizes.

I won't stop wrestling until the wrestling is over. I just kept my head up and kept pushing forward.

I was thinking out loud because I've seen a six-run lead last less than a blink of an eye at this place. It takes a mentality to keep pushing at this field. But these guys have played all season a lot harder than people realize.

It fits the anecdotes, but we don't yet have the data to prove that. A lot of these things are pushing and shoving and fistfights. Nowadays that's much more likely to lead to an arrest.

It feels good and is kind of a monkey off of our back. We've been fighting hard and playing well, but we couldn't seem to get that first win. They were a little tight pushing a little too hard and it cost us some goals, but they fought back. Once we got behind, we tended to go into a bit of a shell, so hopefully this will be a learning experience and not back off when we get down.

It feels really good. Personally it was important, and to get the two points. Me and Eddie are pushing each other. If we continue to push each other and get wins, you never know what is going to happen.

I think she's improving every day. She's there every day, pushing herself, working hard. The quality of work she puts in during practice is amazing. She's phenomenal. And she's not a big girl. She's small, but much stronger than last year. I can't think of an occasion where she's backed down from anything.

It doesn't matter how close we are off the court. On it, it's all business. No hard feelings. We're always pushing each other.

I think if I ever stopped pushing myself, I would revert quickly to quite repetitive, restrictive behaviour.

I think he?s going to keep pushing the mantra of cutting taxes.

I think he needs a little bit more time. I appreciate him saying that. I appreciate the effort that he's put in to try to get himself back. But I think he's pushing it a little quickly. My advice to him is to take it easy, not rush it.

It definitely helped. It's a race to the finish and if someone is pushing you everyone has a good race.

I think last year's team was bigger and more powerful ? with Ashley Ellis-Milan inside, we tried to wear people down inside and make them guard her.

I'm so delighted that Rick has agreed to remain our men's basketball coach for an additional three years.

Our entire university and community will benefit immensely from his pushing that initial commitment to nine years.

That was our best opportunity to get the win, but I don't think we let up after. We were still pushing and pressing to get the win and finish the game, but it just didn't happen. We have to make sure that we take advantage of opportunities like that.

That's the way baseball is, ... I wouldn't say he's off the radar screen. I've been on both ends of it. I've been the guy coming up pushing somebody from behind and I've been the guy who's getting pushed. If that elevates both of our games, that's what it's supposed to do. Getting too wrapped up in who's playing right now is not the way to go about it.

I was probably being a little paranoid, ... In past years I would've worked through something like that and kept right on pushing ahead. But I'm just so excited about this season -- I just want everything to be perfect, because I think it can be a special year for us -- and I want to make extra sure that nothing slows me down.

We have one of the game's best closers but he was fresh and we didn't feel like we were pushing him at all. I don't care how great Izzy is, if I'm on the other side they may think they've got a better chance when the other guy comes out, because Carpenter's just dealing.

You have to do everything possible for the safety of the competitors, spectators and the people who work in F1. But we mustn't emasculate it. We mustn't take away the spectacle.

Everywhere you look, there is an opportunity to hurt yourself and we don't want F1 to be marred.

You can feel the growing aggression in practice, everyone is pushing hard.

Yeah, it's tough. I feel like I'm letting them down every day I'm not out there and they (team) are getting closer to leaving. But if I start doing stupid stuff, like pushing myself too hard, it could cost me more time. So it's a fine line.

Those guys still respect him out there, and they're still pushing him to wins.

Unless you are pushing three million albums, you are going to owe someone.

We are not suggesting the resignation or pushing for the resignation of the secretary-general,

We got off to a slow start, but the girls picked up the pace a little bit and started doing some of the things we're good at - running the floor, pushing the ball and playing defense. Hopefully, we'll do a better job Saturday night.
