“Then as everything, like I say, things started to come together, when things started to go our way, that's when you results started to come. I was no different driver. I was certainly learning every time I went in the car.” WayDifferentTogetherResultsCarDrivers Author:Dan Wheldon
“The military doesn't teach rifle marksmanship. It teaches equipment familiarity. Despite what the officer corps thinks, learning to shoot a rifle is not like learning to drive a car. Instead, it is like learning to play the violin.... The equipment familiarity learning curve comes up quick, but then the rifle marksmanship continuation of the curve rises very slowly....by shooting one careful shot at a time, carefully inspecting the result (and the cause).” ThinkingPlayCausesResultsTeachMilitaryCarGunShotsCome UpCarefulDespiteShootingOfficersEquipmentCurvesFamiliarityViolinRiflesContinuationLearning CurveMarksmanship Author:Daryl Davis
“I don't design cars. I'm not a designer.

“Having taught economics courses at private vocational schools and universities, I have always had a problem with GNP as a yardstick of prosperity. GNP is improved by increases in questionable activities such as consumption of cigarettes and the production of weapons. Moreover, a substantial increase in car accidents will favorably affect GNP because more funerals, hospital visits, car repairs, and new car purchases will result.” ProblemSchoolCoursesResultsBusinessCarTaughtActivityWeaponsEconomicsIncreaseUniversityProsperityProductionsAccidentsHospitalsFuneralCigaretteConsumptionQuestionableCar AccidentNew CarYardsticks Author:Ernie J Zelinski
“I'd say it [success in NASCAR] is probably 50% car, 30% driver and 20% luck.

“A child is nothing like a racing car. . . . Souping up babies doesn't work that way. The child is what she is. There is a certainirreducible if elusive core. Pushing, pulling, stretching, and shrinking will not really change it. There may be spectacular interim results. The baby may say the alphabet before she walks, master two-times or even ten-times table at three. In the long run, however, this forced precocity tends to be irrelevant. . . . Whatever gains there are become unimportant.
