I feel like a lot of people know and understand that I have to be top-two, top-three best perimeter defenders in the NBA.
What always gives me peace of mind is that the best are the best. People who float to the top will always float to the top.
We cannot understand. The best is perhaps what we understand least.
I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.
He knows what He is doing with me. I cannot always understand His way, but I am content in the realization that He knows what is best. That is surrender.
The top 1 percent have the best houses, the best educations, the best doctors, and the best lifestyles, but there is one thing that money doesn't seem to have bought: an understanding that their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live. Throughout history, this is something that the top 1 percent eventually do learn. Too late.
The world cannot always understand one's profession of faith, but it can understand service.
... most of all the actor will love the boys and girls, the men and women, who sit in the cheapest seats, in the very last row of the top gallery. They have given more than they can afford to come. In the most self-effacing spirit of fellowship they are listening to catch every word, watching to miss no slightest gesture or expression. To save his life the actor cannot help feeling these nearest and dearest. He cannot help wishing to do his best for them. He cannot help loving them best of all.
Our senses are woefully limited. Our brains are but tiny candles flickering in an infinity of darkness. Our only wisdom is to admit that we cannot understand, and since we cannot understand we must do the best we can with faith. which is our only talent. The greatest act of faith we are capable of is that of loving another more than we love ourselves, and occasionally we can be quite good at it.
I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.
A business society, therefore, always has in its children a large group of individuals who cannot make money and who do not understand (or want to understand) the profit motive. In short, they are subversives.
Any top-level athlete, it's always the same. There's always that hint of arrogance there... It's hard to be humble when you're the best.
For the players, these top, top, top games or these top, top, top events - like a World Cup or a European Championship - are not common but, of course, something special.
The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
People don't understand what fighters at the top have to go through. You know what, even half the fighters don't understand what the guys on top are going through. You're being pulled in so many directions. Contract negotiations, business opportunities, people come out of the woodwork, and it all happens when you're so young.
The best place for a leader isn't always at the top position. It is the place where they can serve the best and add the most value to other people.
