“We go hard. In everything we do we're going to accomplish our victory and our goal. If it takes a day, a year, or 20 years, we're going to win. I haven't taken a loss because everything I've done has been a working process to win. From being a kid on them turntables to becoming where I am is not a loss. It's a blessing.” IfsYearsHas BeensHardDoneKidsWinningProcessGoalLossTakenHavensBecomingVictoryBlessingAccomplishKey To SuccessBeing A KidGo HardTurntables Author:DJ Khaled
“No senior politician can expect to have work-life balance. I'm afraid there are some jobs for which work-life balance inevitably goes out the window. If you want work-life balance you just have to accept that you can't be a senior member of a government, or for that matter a senior member of an opposition.” IfsWantMatterGovernmentJobsAcceptingBalancePoliticianMembersWindowOppositionSeniorWork Life BalanceLife Balance Author:Tony Abbott

“I was a very senior minister in the Howard government and I sat around this particular table [in the prime ministerial office] in many discussions. The difference between being a senior minister and the prime minister is that ultimately the buck does stop with the prime minister and in the end the prime minister has to make those critical judgement calls and that's the big difference.” DoeEndsBigsGovernmentDifferencesParticularOfficeTablesCriticalMinistersDiscussionJudgementSatPrimeSeniorPrime MinisterBucks Author:Tony Abbott

“I think there is no doubt that the advent of 24/7 news channels, which are voracious in their demand for constant new content, has accelerated the political process. The rise of social media, in addition to talkback, I think has intensified the political process.” ThinkingPoliticalSocialProcessDoubtMediaDemandNewsConstantSocial MediaNo DoubtAdventNews Channels Author:Tony Abbott
“The thing about social media is that it is anonymous, so it can be much more vitriolic and extreme than normal media and yet it is there for everyone to see. It is kind of like electronic graffiti.

“I've always avoided those sorts of self-assessments because if you give yourself a 10 out of 10 people think you're a big head, if you give yourself a 6 out of 10 they think you're plagued with self-doubt, so I'm just not going to rate myself.” PeopleIfsThinkingGivingSelfBigsDoubtRateAvoidedAssessmentSelf-doubtSelf AssessmentBig Heads Author:Tony Abbott
“There are some issues where ministers should come and talk to the prime minister, if the prime minister hasn't already talked to them. Any issue which a minister thinks is going to be profoundly controversial, where we do not have a clear existing position, it is important that there be a conversation between the minister and the prime minister. I think they all understand that and I think it is working very well.” IfsThinkingShouldWellsImportantIssuesClearPositionConversationMinistersPrimePrime MinisterControversial Author:Tony Abbott
