A Quote by Ellen MacArthur

When you start you're trying to achieve staying alive and getting home. If you can do both of those, then you stand a chance of breaking the record. — © Ellen MacArthur
When you start you're trying to achieve staying alive and getting home. If you can do both of those, then you stand a chance of breaking the record.
Only those who constantly retool themselves stand a chance of staying employed in the years ahead.
Congratulstions on breaking my record. I always thought the record would stand until it was broken.
If you ignore somebody's record and only focus on something that happened 25 years ago when all they were doing even then was trying to stand up for a minority group that felt excluded and discriminated against, then I don't - I think that is a distortion of a person's record. I mean, a person's record is full, not just the parts that you want to use against them.
I'm trying to figure out how to record at home because I have a tiny house and a seven-year-old and my wife also works at home. So I can't work in the house because she's trying to write, so I pitched a tent in the backyard. I'm literally trying to record in the tent.
One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.
Of course the fall semester didn’t start for another eight weeks or so. There was always a chance we were both being overly optimistic in thinking I’d be alive when it rolled around.
I'm a filmmaker, so I always think: When is the breaking point? Sometimes you've got to go beyond the breaking point, and then you catch it. When is long enough? It's one of those things you have to look at, walk away, and go home and find out what it is.
I've nothing against stay-at-home mums, but I love going to work, I love what I do and I wouldn't want to start resenting my home life if I was staying home 365 days a year.
Try, start always at home. This is my encouragement to all writers, start at home. All virtues and vices begin at home, and then spread abroad.
Record-breaking is not getting boring. I am definitely happy with that.
Sometimes things fall in your lap and sometimes you really carve them out. I've found that songs I really like can happen both ways. I've also been trying to learn when to step away and take a break and when to keep pushing through. For me it's a delicate balance of staying inspired and staying consistent, and I'm still trying to figure it out.
Few are they who have never had a chance to achieve happiness- and fewer those who have taken that chance.
With every song, all the elements have to work. First, the beat has to be great - you start there. You start with the music, and then the ideas follow. Then you start thinking of rhymes, and then you record it, and sometimes - this happens to me a lot - it doesn't come out as good as it did in my head when I first wrote it.
I think Valentina Shevchenko has a great chance of breaking Demetrious Johnson's record of 11 straight title defenses.
I love getting in the kitchen because I don't get the chance when I'm staying in hotels and on the road.
I get letters from [people getting insurance] right now. "You saved my child's life." "I did not have to sell my home when my wife got sick." And that is what, as a policy maker, I'm trying to achieve during the short period of time that I'm here.
