Challenge Quotations | Page 6

Our members are very excited about this program. Rising health costs are a major challenge for employers and their employees, and this program offers the opportunity to improve quality and consumer decision-making while possibly lowering costs.

Our No. 1 challenge is to meet all of our customers' needs and expectations while going through the legal transition, and grow our business and produce positive revenues that make us attractive on the market.

People love the idea of the chef coming to them. But it's an extraordinary undertaking to do these parties. To replicate what we do in the restaurants in someone's home - the precision, the perfection - is a huge challenge and extremely time-consuming.

People have known about the challenge of the low-cost carrier for at least a decade. The major airlines did not have an answer. Instead they went about raising fares on the routes where the low-cost competition didn't exist. That was a game that would have caught up with them sooner or later, with or without 9/11.

I saw what Alex signed for that's a pretty cool number. But what are you going to do? I have no complaints about coming back. I'm happy. One of the reasons I came back was to try and win (a third championship), but it's not something we can control now. We have the potential to do it. Obviously, it's going to be hard. It's a much harder challenge this year than last and that was very tough. We had three or four games that could have gone either way. But I don't see why we can't do it.

I saw the F1 race on the television and the circuit looked like a lot of fun ... it is a new challenge but also a new opportunity for a lot of riders to be at the front so we will see what happens.

I think for any small business that's bootstrapped, the overwhelming challenge initially is getting to positive cash flow.

I will always have dogs in my life, and I absolutely can't be with someone who will challenge that or disagree with that stance - I will not budge on this, ever.

I will appeal to the leaders that are coming here to really step up to the plate and accept the challenge and show leadership on this issue.

I will be a real challenge for us to finish in the top four. The kids are going to have to play very well because we're going to face some top pitching again this year.

Last week's game, that's in the past. It's a new game now. Of course we have to go out there and prove we can stop the run. It will be another challenge for us, going against a rushing offense like they have.

Last week we got exposed on the run. (North Texas) has two amazing backs. I don't care what conference you're in, it's going to be a heck of a challenge for our front seven.

Kurt had been a challenge for everybody that interacted with him on the team at some time or other. He used up his equity with his sponsors. He used up his equity with me.

Kyle stepped up; it was his time to do it. Now, the challenge is to follow up.

Just as Nomi, my character in 'Showgirls,' gets turned on by things that challenge her or obstacles or other hurdles to overcome, those are things that I welcome and I love that,

I think so. This year I want to spend time with my family, do some TV and see where the fire burns after the season. I was watching Remember the Titans the other day, and it made me think about the emotions you go through. There's nothing that moves you emotionally like coaching. You have high highs and low lows, and to be able to have an impact on young people, to get a group of young men together and accomplish a goal, that is a real exciting challenge for me. You don't get that in any other profession.

I think every aspect of what we've gone through this season has been a challenge. There's been a new challenge every day. When you win games it masquerades some things that losing brings to the forefront.

Larry will love the challenge of getting the Knicks turned around,

Last season was great for Wake Forest and memorable for the ACC, ... Both Wake Forest and the ACC lost significant contributors, but, as always, the ACC remains strong and we hope that Wake Forest once again is poised to challenge for an ACC championship.

Last season was great for Wake Forest and memorable for the ACC. Both Wake Forest and the ACC lost significant contributors, but, as always, the ACC remains strong and we hope that Wake Forest once again is poised to challenge for an ACC championship.

Last time we went to Missouri it was not a good experience. We want to rectify what happened at Missouri two years ago. The fans are loud and it's going to be a hard place to play in. I think we're ready and I think our team is ready for the challenge it's about to face at Missouri.

People are reluctant to change because they see it as a challenge to their authority.

I remind them of a few games that got away from us and the mistakes we made in those games. I remind them of the three years we worked to get to this point and the sacrifices they made over the summers and everything the team and the community did for us and we don't want to have brain freezes once we get out there. They have never backed down from a challenge since I've been there.

(James) is slowly distinguishing herself in the shot put. I think she could challenge for a top finish at the Big Ten Championships.

James Thomas was a tough dude, but P.J. took on that challenge head on. James was one guy you didn't mess with, but P.J. took him on.

Jeff Blake is not only one of Sony's greatest assets, but I think he is recognized industry wide as one of the best in the business. As the marketing landscape changes and becomes more and more fragmented and the exhibition community faces the challenge of converting to digital cinema, there is no one better to guide us than Jeff Blake. He is truly second to no one and he inspires those around him to do their best work. We couldn't be more proud to recognize his extraordinary contributions with this promotion.

Jeffrey could have been better in some areas. He had some chances to challenge more shots when other guys were beaten on drives and had opportunities to get some more rebounds.

Jeff's done a great job, because he's already faced the biggest challenge a coach can face,

Jason is an intense guy, and the older, experienced guys don't care about that -- they'll challenge him. When they believe in a player, they're going to tell him, whether he likes it or not. They're not afraid to offend him, and he likes that, too.

Jason pulled out in front to start with. There were a couple of guys behind him that I thought would challenge him. Toward the end, he developed a good lead.

Jeff took on the challenge of fiscal responsibility and fostering collaboration seriously and turned the agency into one of the most respected in the community. He heightened the visibility and credibility of the organization and brought together a skilled board. Jeff and the board are like family. We as a board have so much respect and gratitude for what Jeff has done.

Jeff will defend his titles November 5 and Showtime will televise it, ... Jeff is not only the most active world champion in boxing, he is the shining light of the 12stone division. Jeff has successfully answered every challenge in his professional career, but when it came time for Calzaghe to face Jeff, his team threw in the towel.

Jennifer Hays can be a devastating attacking threat out of the back and her versatility could have her at the left flank and scoring goals for us from that position. Yvonne Davis will also challenge for the left back because last year she was a player that we could put her anywhere on the field that we needed her defensively.

Our greatest challenge is to give hope where there is hopelessness.

Our guys understand the challenge we have and it's a good football team that we are going to play. This is a good football team that is starting to put it together. Just as we have been a work in progress, they have also been a work in progress.

Our guys were looking forward to this challenge. We felt this was a big challenge for us against a very good football team.

Our goal this year with the pitching staff is to heighten their awareness and challenge them every day at practice. We'll carry 10 pitchers this season and all are pretty competitive and can throw strikes consistently.

Our kids challenge each other every day. Our success has brought confidence. And they've earned all of it.

Our guys had to grow up a lot. That's part of the whole business of starting four new guys back there. We laid the challenge down to those guys and I'm proud of them.

Our kids understand they have to be the two-time defending champions. But we have a huge challenge against Woodland (tonight).

People are alert. I hope the Polish president will not seek to challenge some of the basic principles and values of the EU.

People are also working longer hours, they're more far-flung, there are more divorces and families displaced. There is a real challenge in finding leisure time. And getting it coordinated is even more problematic.

My wife is going to go back and forth for the first year... so it's going to be a tough go for us. This will be a challenge for our family, but we'll battle our way through it.

My younger kids are great. They did whatever they could to make those seniors better. Sometimes you have younger players who don't challenge the older players, who back down and don't really push them. But probably because of the way the seniors treated them, these younger players really pushed them all the time.

NAMIC believes that exposures to mega-catastrophes present a tremendous challenge to the insurance industry and we are exploring several different avenues to address the problem.

My next biggest challenge is to survive another night with Freddie.

I'm horrified. We're all gay! You can say a lot of things about Cafeteria in Miami. I know we've had awful service at times and we're very aware. It's been a huge challenge to keep quality people. But not homophobia.

Managers must constantly provide the intellectual challenge and recognition necessary to retain key employees. This is particularly true of administrative staff who have become pivotal in an increasingly fast-paced environment, and whose technical skills are highly marketable.

Managing the environmental impacts arising from this pace and scale of development is a considerable challenge that must be urgently addressed, particularly in light of the new goal of producing five million barrels per day by 2030.

Making those under investigation candidates could send a message that the mafia appreciates, a message of impunity, a challenge to the justice system.

Justin has been a key player for us this season and we hope he will remain here for the challenge that faces us next season. However, we understand his position and we remain committed to retaining the nucleus of our squad for next season.

Joining the military was never a dream for Scott, it was just something he wanted to do and he simply walked in the recruiting office and told them he wanted the Marines, and he wanted infantry. That was the way Scott did everything. If he was going to do something he would always do it to win and he always liked a challenge. That is why he picked the Marines and the infantry. That was the biggest challenge for him.

I think they're facing the largest challenge I've seen in recent history, in terms of an administration having to decide whether they continue to borrow and spend, or whether they face up to very difficult choices that have to be made to discipline the budget. I think we'll find out in the next few months what that decision is going to be.

I think this is definitely a challenge for everyone. There's definitely tension between the age groups, but I think it helps to see that awareness of the issue growing.

I think this is going to be the biggest challenge we've had all year.

It is crucial that we time our new products ahead of major events. My biggest challenge is whether our sales strategy will be strong enough to compete with bigger rivals on a global scale.

I think it will be a challenge for us because people are going to start gunning for us now. We've just got to be ready each week to make everybody believe in us.

I think it will really show in the years ahead the worth of these two head coaches. It will be a challenge to remain this consistent, and change will be the one constant. It will show in time the importance of these head coaches.

I think for us it's the toughest opponent, the biggest challenge of all the teams. They won 11 in a row. They're flying right now. They're on a high and they have a lot of playoff experience.

I thought it would be a good challenge for us at this point. Obviously, I wouldn't choose to do that, but it gave us a chance to play big a little bit. ... That was a good experience for us. I think this game is going to really make us stronger.

I thought I gave you a challenge you wouldn't do, ... but you did it, very quickly.

I thought he was fine. He drew (Chris) Pronger and (Jason) Smith most of the night and that's a challenge for him.

I was just trying to get something up and into the outfield. Skip is fast enough that he can challenge (the throw) if it gets out there. I was just happy to get that hit.

I think the age thing is overrated. I think it is all about guys having certain experiences and if a guy is ready for this challenge and task. With both of our coordinators there wasn't a hesitation in my mind.

I think that is something that probably some of our younger guys don't understand is that you're going to see everybody's best effort, and that is a compliment to the program but is also a challenge to our guys.

I think some of our young guys who have been here for two or three years finally got a taste of the playoffs and a little bit of an understanding of where the fun in the game is. That's the time of year. It certainly whets your appetite and we have a new challenge this year, so we are going to attack it.

I think that we've managed to put together a competitive line up. Both cars have a realistic opportunity to challenge for the win. I'm excited to be working with drivers that have achieved so much in racing and it's nice to have worked with them all in some stage or another.

I think that we definitely try to get those strong teams on the schedule. It's a hard concept. I think sometimes your strength of schedule can help you or hurt you. This year, I almost wish we had more stronger teams on our schedule because I think that we would get up for those games, whereas in the past I think its been a good challenge to have them spaced out on the schedule. So I hope the team is up for it and ready to compete on Sunday.

It is challenging but the more positions you start to play and develop in as a player, the better you get and the more adaptable a player you can be to more teams. It always different when you play with your back to goal, as opposed to running at defenders. It is a challenge because for a long time you might not get the ball, but when you do, if you can put it in the back of the net, then you did your job.

It is going to be a challenge because we are thousands of miles away today and we are essentially only going to get one day off.

It is going to be a challenge for everyone to just finish this race. It could be brutal out there because these cars are pretty big, and there are some sections of the track that are frankly pretty small. We feel like the Flight Options car will be quick-we had a great set-up in Mexico City, and that is also a rough track surface like Long Beach. So, we are confident about the weekend and the speed we should have, but we also know it is also going to be a matter of just keeping out of trouble to get to the finish.

It is going to be a challenge for them, there is no doubt in my mind. But if they run the operation professionally and with Iowans in mind, I think they have a shot.

I think that there are some people out there who kind of have their head in the sand. I think that the challenge to the exhibitor is how to have a better theatrical experience, to compete with the home experience.

I think the biggest challenge for us will be public access.

I think the biggest challenge has been just figuring out who we?re going to put on the hill. When you play six games in a week and you have four pitchers to work with, you can do the math.

I think the biggest challenge is trying to get the right player at the right price. I don't think it's a leverage issue. I think it's just trying to get the right player in the right deal and not pulling the trigger until we get that.

I think the biggest challenge we had this year was getting players to come down and take a look. We had the most amount of parents we ever had come with them, and that was very encouraging. We worked very hard to get that done.

I think the dedication and experience level here is enormous, and the challenge is to get everyone focused on the same point, which is the customer.

I think the difference in the second half was just being here at the RBC Center. The crowd really stepped up to the challenge and gave us the support we needed.

I think the challenge for us is that they are a really balanced offensive team, ... And that makes it a little tougher to stop when they've got five hitters that all take a decent amount of swings, as well as their setters are pretty accurate - and pretty offensive also.

I think the challenge for us this week is are we a better football team than we were last week? As many good things as we did in the N.C. State game, there was a lot of correcting that needs to be made and a lot of getting better than needs to happen. I believe ... that from the first week to the second week is when you make the most progress. And we have to take advantage of that situation here.

I think the challenge in transforming an industrial brand into a luxury brand should not be underestimated.

I think the challenge is in schools trying to find a way to address the 30 minutes a day of physical activity without interfering with academic progress and how this is going to be done with a limited number of (physical education) teachers, limited space and limited time.

I think the challenge is keeping (women's sports) consistently in the public's eye, and not with just every Olympics, or not just every World Cup. It shouldn't be a four-year affair. It should be something that is continuous. I think that's the next step for women's sports: being an everyday presence.

I think the challenge Kmart really faces right now is whether it's going to be able to keep pace with Wal-Mart and Target, and can they improve the big investment in store value. ...To close the gap between your peers casts a lot of uncertainty on the numbers and expectations.

I think the challenge of Ground Zero goes beyond anyone's individual ego, and the problem of Donald Trump is he's never gone beyond his own individual ego.

I think the challenge to Republicans now is you have the House, you have the Senate, you have the White House, you had better so thoroughly reform this government that people believe you can deliver.

I think the good news is that the current quarter is OK, and the challenge is going to be what comes next,

I think with all its local and regional flaws, it was the most effective, efficient and response-oriented relief effort ever. We had never faced a challenge like this in our history, with a dozen countries on two continents hit at the same time.

It is ironic that we focus on weight loss, when the real challenge is keeping weight off. Most popular diets work when it comes to losing weight, but few if any succeed when it comes to weight maintenance.

It is ironic that we focus on weight loss, when the real challenge is weight maintenance.

It is just a philosophical challenge for them. It has been an educational process.

It is important to have a new challenge and learn new ways of doing business. You can't hang onto something forever.

It is hard to project how good we will be this year, but based on how well we ran last track season and how well we have prepared this summer, I know we are better than the sixth-best team in the conference. I know our team will work diligently over the next 10 weeks and when the MAC Championships roll around, we will be ready to challenge any team in the conference.

Last year Matthew was our most improved shooter. If he picks it up at the beginning of the season and continues down that path, he'll be tough to beat. During Thomas's very first college match he set a new school record in air rifle. We've changed his positions a little bit and he has become really defined. Bill has become a much better shooter over time, improving immensely. At his new skill level, he can really challenge our other veterans, and that speaks really well for the level of talent that we have on this team.

It is amazing to see a number of focused, passionate student leaders coming together for a cause and ready to do what it takes to make this happen. It is a special place when you don't have to work to make students care and don't have to challenge them to want to make a difference.

It is an absolute honor and privilege to be selected as the head football coach at Virginia Military Institute. I accept the challenge to elevate the football program to the VMI standard of excellence. I am eager to meet the team and the VMI family.
