“I was embarrassed when a businessman friend asked, 'What's the yearly budget of your talk show? What's the per-episode budget?' And I looked at him with these blank, typical-model eyes and said, 'I don't know.' I call myself a businesswoman and I don't know that? So that is my goal next year - to really dissect the budget.” KnowsYearsSaidShowsEyeNextGoalModelsBudgetsEpisodesBlankEmbarrassedTypicalBusinessmanNext YearTalk Shows Author:Tyra Banks

“Stonehenge had an aura but it was also just stone. Then in the sixties, it became a great hedonistic, hippie, druid, rock-n-roll party site. There are amazing pictures of people up on the stones going wild and that's the image I recreated for my model of the project: full access to everyone. I even invented a Stonehenge soccer team that uses spaces between the stones as goals.” PeopleUseGoalSpacePartyTeamRocksProjectsModelsStonesAccessSoccerRock N RollSixtySiteHippieAurasSpace BetweenDruidsHedonisticSoccer TeamStonehenge Author:Aleksandra Mir
“Set reasonable goals; not something vague and unrealistic like "I want to be super-model skinny." I always had visions of very thin actresses in my mind when I was at the gym and it seemed so unattainable that I would quit any health regimen before it even got off the ground. But when I changed my mindset to focusing on making the healthiest choices possible for myself, it was a lot more realistic, more attainable, and then the results were visible.” WantMindChoicesGoalResultsVisionChangedModelsMindsetActressesQuittingVisibleReasonableGymRealisticVagueSkinnyUnattainable Author:Alison Sweeney
“I think, for one, the LGBTQ community is just a paragon of leadership, of standing up and saying "these are our rights, and we deserve them."

“I think the definition will change as we learn more, but my working definition of solving the brain is: one, we can model, maybe in a computer, the processes that generate things like thoughts and feelings, and two, we can understand how to cure brain disorders, like Alzheimer's and epilepsy. Those are my two driving goals. One is more human-condition oriented, and one more clinical.” ThinkingHumansTwoFeelingsProcessGoalBrainConditionsComputerModelsDefinitionsDrivingCuresDisorderHuman ConditionThoughts And FeelingsAlzheimerAlzheimer'sClinicalsEpilepsy Author:Edward Boyden
“I wish more of the web had stayed nonprofit. But the advertising model took over and I think has delivered us to where we are, along with the development of content, which is designed to do nothing else but make you click on it or share it.

“I try to use models at least for the main characters because of the nature of my art.

“Teachers can be a living example to their students. Not that teachers should look for students to idealize them. One who is worth idealizing does not care whether others idealize them or not. Everyone needs to see that you not only teach human values but you live them. It is unavoidable sometimes you will be idealized -- it is better for children to have a role model, or goal, because then the worshipful quality in them can dawn.” NeedsShouldHumansLooksChildrenDoeSometimesCareValuesGoalQualityRolesTeachTeacherExampleStudentsModelsDawnRole ModelsHuman Values Author:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
“When a young person, even a gifted one, grows up without proximate living examples of what she may aspire to become--whether lawyer, scientist, artist, or leader in any realm--her goal remains abstract. Such models as appear in books or on the news, however inspiring or revered, are ultimately too remote to be real, let alone influential. But a role model in the flesh provides more than inspiration; his or her very existence is confirmation of possibilities one may have every reason to doubt, saying, 'Yes, someone like me can do this.” MayPersonsBookRealReasonInspirationYoungArtistGrowsGoalCan DoExistenceLeaderRolesGrowing UpDoubtExamplePossibilityNewsModelsScientistRemainsLawyerFleshLike MeRealmsAbstractRole ModelsBeing RealGiftedAspireInfluentialConfirmationSaying Yes Book:My Beloved World Source: My Beloved World
