As a father, i believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition. i believe that healthy competition is... well... healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses the events themselves; and that active participation keeps children moving and is good for their self-esteem.

We believe we're moving out of the ice age, the iron age, the industrial age, the information age, to the participation age. you get on the net and you do stuff. you im (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. you are participating on the internet, not just viewing stuff. we build the infrastructure that goes in the data center that facilitates the participation age. we build that big friggin' webtone switch. it has security, directory, identity, privacy, storage, compute, the whole web services stack.

Narcissism is actually a clever guise adopted to mask its exact opposite, which is a deep well of self-loathing, a well of low self-esteem, rather than high self-esteem. this helps explain why narcissists are so sensitive to criticism, why narcissists tend to break into outrage if they're criticized, because their self-esteem is actually much more brittle than it seems, and once they're challenged, that mask falls apart.

Be young. keep yourself young by having a good, sporty car like a corvette. it keeps you on your toes. it keeps you young. it keeps you thinking young. it keeps you thinking modern and good things. corvette is a modern, modern automobile.

Perhaps the most extraordinary popular delusion about violence of the past quarter-century is that it is caused by low self-esteem. that theory has been endorsed by dozens of prominent experts, has inspired school programs designed to get kids to feel better about themselves, and in the late 1980s led the california legislature to form a task force to promote self-esteem. yet baumeister has shown that the theory could not be more spectacularly, hilariously, achingly wrong. violence is a problem not of too little self-esteem but of too much, particularly when it is unearned.

No value is higher than self-esteem, but you've invested it in counterfeit securities-and now your morality has caught you in a trap where you are forced to protect your self-esteem by fighting for the creed of self-destruction. the grim joke is on you: that need of self-esteem, which you're unable to explain or to define, belongs to my morality, not yours; it's the objective token of my code, it is my proof within your own soul.

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.

I have a lot to say, and if i'm not no. 1, i can't say it.

When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? you've gone zero for seven-thousand.
