“I truly believe my job starts the minute I leave the baseball field. Going out and catching ground balls and hitting, that's a job, and that's what I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid.

You have to stay on a narrow path.” ThinkingBelieveKidsWantedJobsStuffSportsCommunityCitiesPathMinutesMediaNew YorkFieldsDemandBaseballBallsLeavingHittingGoing OutCatchingSeattleNarrow PathBaseball Field Author:Alex Rodriguez

“The only time I've ever been mistaken for someone else is - and this arguable still - when a person came up to me on the boardwalk of Ocean City, New Jersey and said, "You look a lot like that guy from computer ads" and I said, "There is a reason because I am that guy," and the guy looked at me for a minute, laughed and said, "That's a funny joke, but you really do look like him."

“At 10 minutes to seven on a dark, cool evening in Mexico City in 1968, John Stephen Akwari of Tanzania painfully hobbled into the Olympic Stadium-the last man to finish the marathon. The winner had already been crowned, and the victory ceremony was long finished. So the stadium was almost empty and Akwari - alone, his leg bloody and bandaged - struggled to circle the track to the finish line. When asked why he had continued the grueling struggle, the young man from Tanzania answered softly: My country did not send me 9,000 miles to start the race.

“Lagos was a city that had been turned against itself. There was a bridge that became the perfect trap for crimes, which began with nails being scattered to cause flat tyres. If the driver stopped, the car would be dismantled in 20 minutes and the parts thrown overboard [to people waiting below]. The system had turned into a kind of destructive device that could be used against people. That was the narrative.” PeopleIfsKindWould BeUsedCausesWaitingPerfectCitiesMinutesCarCrimeNarrativeBridgesDestructiveThrownFlatsDevicesDriversNailsTrapsOverboardTyres Author:Rem Koolhaas
