Competence Quotes - Page 12

• You must develop a sense of what you can contribute that goes beyond 1 company or organization. A career path today will likely involve moving from organization to organization, creating a picture of rising circles, rather than a vertical ladder. In fact, a vertical rise within one organization will very likely move you away from your strongest areas of competence.

• Si pudiera transmitirles un mensaje, sería éste: el futuro de este país y el bienestar del mundo libre dependen de nuestro éxito en el espacio. No hay lugar en este país para otra cosa que no sea un esfuerzo total, urgente y cooperativo hacia el liderazgo espacial. Ninguna persona, empresa o agencia gubernamental tiene el monopolio de la competencia, las misiones o los requisitos del programa espacial.

• Unless they can pass the same test that immigrants must pass to become citizens, people shouldnt be allowed to vote. The idea that there is some public benefit in ignoramuses and morons pulling levers next to names on a ballot is one of the evil myths of post-modern America. The purpose of voting, in our country, is to select men and women with the competence and integrity to operate the mechanics of government fixed by our Constitution. For this process to have any public benefit requires that the choices be made on an intelligent, knowledgeable and reasoned basis.

• El aspecto más llamativo de la competencia lingüística es lo que podríamos llamar la "creatividad del lenguaje", es decir, la capacidad del hablante para producir frases nuevas, frases que son inmediatamente COMPRENDIDAS por otros hablantes aunque no se parezcan físicamente a frases que les son "familiares".

• Translation is a two-edged instrument: it has the special purpose of demonstrating the learner's knowledge of the foreign language, either as a form of control or to exercise his intelligence in order to develop his competence.

• The game's finest mistakes were perpetrated by Djimi Traore, who interrupted his general competence with one air shot, one slice over his own head and a foul so telegraphed that even the lenient referee seemed to have his card out a couple of seconds before contact was made, to show the first yellow of the game.

• The oldest problem in economic education is how to exclude the incompetent. A certain glib mastery of verbiage-the ability to speak portentously and sententiously about the relation of money supply to the price level-is easy for the unlearned and may even be aided by a mildly enfeebled intellect. The requirement that there be ability to master difficult models, including ones for which mathematical competence is required, is a highly useful screening device.

  John Kenneth Galbraith

• Our educational system in its entirety does nothing to give us any kind of material competence. In other words, we don't learn how to cook, how to make clothes, how to build houses, how to make love, or to do any of the absolutely fundamental things of life.

  Alan Watts

• Certainly, young children can begin to practice making letters and numbers and solving problems, but this should be done without workbooks. Young children need to learn initiative, autonomy, industry, and competence before they learn that answers can be right or wrong.

• Testigo del ideal americano: el hombre hecho a sí mismo. Pero no existe tal persona. Si podemos valernos por nosotros mismos, es porque otros nos han criado. Si, como adultos, podemos presumir de competencia y compasión, eso sólo significa que otros seres humanos han estado dispuestos y capacitados para comprometer su competencia y compasión con nosotros, a través de la infancia, la niñez y la adolescencia, hasta este mismo momento.

• Reconozco debidamente que he pasado una larga vida, con menos circunstancias de aflicción que la mayoría de los hombres. Salud ininterrumpida, competencia para cualquier necesidad razonable, utilidad a mis conciudadanos, una buena parte de su estima, ninguna queja contra el mundo que me ha honrado suficientemente, y sobre todo, una familia que me ha bendecido con su afecto, y nunca por su conducta me ha dado un momento de dolor.

  Thomas Jefferson

• Competence in heterosexuality, or at least the appearance or pretense of such competence, is as much a public affair as a privateone. Thus, going steady is a high school diploma in heterosexuality; engagement a BA; marriage an MA; and children a Ph.D.

• Modern children were considerably less innocent than parents and the larger society supposed, and postmodern children are less competent than their parents and the society as a whole would like to believe. . . . The perception of childhood competence has shifted much of the responsibility for child protection and security from parents and society to children themselves.

• Can you understand why the Congress, most states and most cities refuse to pass legislation requiring the registration and licensing of any and all guns? For the life of me, I can't. We must register our cars and be licensed to drive. In many places we must get licenses for dogs and even bicycles. Being required to register firearms and show the competence and capacity to handle them hardly seems unreasonable, hardly seems an infringement of freedom. What is it that blocks such legislation? Why do they block it? How are they able to block it?

• I mean the whole economy just comes to a grinding halt. Competence in markets and in institutions, it's a lot like oxygen. When you have it, you don't even think about it. Indispensable. You can go years without thinking about it. When it's gone for five minutes, it's the only thing you think about. And the oxygen has been sucked out of the credit markets.

• In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.

• It is only reasonable to allow the administration of affairs to mothers before their children reach the age prescribed by law at which they themselves can be responsible. But that father would have reared them ill who could not hope that in their maturity they would have more wisdom and competence than his wife.

• History will not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.

• Emotional self-control is NOT the same as overcontrol, the stifling of all feeling and spontaneity....when such emotional suppression is chronic, it can impair thinking, hamper intellectual performance and interfere with smooth social interaction. By contrast, emotional competence implies we have a choice as to how we express our feelings.

• Emotional intelligence, more than any other factor, more than I.Q. or expertise, accounts for 85% to 90% of success at work... I.Q. is a threshold competence. You need it, but it doesn't make you a star. Emotional intelligence can.

• When I hire somebody really senior, competence is the ante. They have to be really smart. But the real issue for me is, Are they going to fall in love with Apple? Because if they fall in love with Apple, everything else will take care of itself. They'll want to do what's best for Apple, not what's best for them, what's best for Steve, or anybody else.

• Entonces, ¿quién es Dios? Nadie puede decirlo finalmente. Eso no es competencia humana. Lo único que podemos decir es cómo creemos haber experimentado a Dios, haciendo todo lo posible por disipar nuestras ilusiones humanas. Permítanme que lo intente. Experimento a Dios como fuente de vida que me llama a vivir plenamente y, por tanto, a respetar la vida en todas sus formas como encarnación de lo sagrado.
