I have no idols. I admire work dedication and competence.

Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.

Men now monopolize the upper levels... depriving women of their rightful share of opportunities for incompetence.

Black women are programmed to define ourselves within this male attention and to compete with each other for it rather than to recognize and move upon our common interests.

We have to compete in a universe of 200 networks so we have to carve out our own niche and to me that niche is just basic shoe-leather journalism with some good journalists at the helm you can trust as presenters.

But the technology was accessible which suggests incompetence on the part of our counterintelligence community and the Clinton Administration and may in fact rise to the level of treason.

Technology is driving the innovation. Technology is driving the creativity. Technology and the use of that is going to determine our workers' ability to compete in the 21st century global marketplace.

We can teach a lot of things but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students he'll never be a competent teacher.

Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals ' the ones who somehow know how to teach.

Although in skating you compete with other people anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better learn more learn faster is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.
