“Hard work is the main thing-hard work and dedication. And I think a great part of it is goal setting. You set your goals to a point where they're attainable, but far enough away that you have to really go get them. And every year I push my goals a little bit farther away, and every year I work a little bit harder to get them. Every goal that I've set, I've been able to achieve. That's been very fulfilling.” ThinkingYearsLittlesHardEnoughAbleBitsGoalAchieveHard WorkLittle BitHarderSettingSettingsDedicationFulfillingSetting GoalsHard Work And Dedication Author:Rafael Palmeiro

“The biggest issue for me is whether large numbers of Americans can begin to think that government can actually help make the country a fairer place. And that's partly a matter of policies that achieve results in terms of reducing inequality and raising middle-class and working-class incomes, which have been flat for decades. But it's also symbolic and rhetorical, it's whether Hillary Clinton can - or whoever's president - can persuade Americans that it's happening and that they can begin to trust their elected officials a little bit more and their institutions of government a little bit more.” ThinkingLittlesHas BeensCountryMatterHelpingGovernmentBitsPresidentTermResultsNumbersClassIssuesMiddleAchievePolicyLittle BitHappeningsInstitutionsClintonDecadesIncomeInequalityOfficialsMiddle ClassFlatsWorking ClassReducingSymbolicLarge NumbersRhetoricalElected Officials Author:George Packer
