“I can't imagine where I'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. Sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, I'm a little absent from that discussion, because I've never thought of gender as an issue. In sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. You all work together to reach a goal, and I think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLittlesI CanSelfPlayFactsTogetherOpportunitySportsUnderstandingGoalRolesIssuesImagineTeamTaughtVictoryDisciplineHealthyFemaleImportanceCompetitionDefeatGenderFactorsDiscussionWorking TogetherGovernorsSelf DisciplineAbsentGraciousVictory And DefeatHealthy Competition Author:Sarah Palin

“Incrementalism: In the first generation, the goal of the movement was wholesale social and cultural transformation. Small, incremental victories were too little given the magnitude of America's moral decay.

The current movement is committed to securing small victories now, postponing for the long-term more fundamental changes in society and politics.” FirstsLittlesLongAmericaPoliticalGivenSocialGoalTermLeaderMoralPathGenerationsAtheismMovementVictoryTransformationFundamentalsCompetitionCurrentsCommittedPositive AtheismLong TermDecayMagnitudeWholesalePostponingPath To SuccessSmall VictoriesChanges In SocietyMoral DecayIncrementalism Author:Kenneth D.

“I looked up and saw my flag. But I didn't hear my anthem. The quotation above from 6 ft 4 inch, 286 pound Silver Medalist Ghaffari (who broke down in tears on the medal stand) summed up his disappointment after an overtime loss to Aleksandr Karelin of Russia. A win would have given Ghaffari not only the Olympic gold medal but also his first victory over Karelin, something of which he has literally dreamed about after 20 meets between the two.
