A Quote by Georgette Mosbacher

You run a major risk when you assume that you alone have all the answers: You don't, and that's okay. You don't have to be afraid to admit there are certain things you either don't like to do or aren't any good at. You reach a goal by covering all your bases, and you cover all your bases by hiring good people.

If you try and cover all your bases, like the ECB tend to do, you end up with muddled decisions.

Nasser Hussain

If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you're a good ballplayer.

Willie Mays

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

Mickey Mantle

Stealing bases is just something I like to do. I figure if I can hit home runs and steal bases, I'd be different than everybody else.

Carl Crawford

As an individual, you know what you are good at and what you're not good at, so over time as you are hiring, you should be hiring for the skill requirements as the rule, but you should also be thinking, "What am I less good at?" and knowing you need to hire those people to create a stronger team. Different personalities are good at different things, but as a leader and and entrepreneur, it often has to start with you and building around your shortcomings.

Alexis Maybank

But if you believe in Christ and that your main goal with your life is supposed to be to honor Him and do His will, then you don't have as much pressure as someone who bases all their happiness on whether they're a movie star.

Victoria Jackson

I even steal bases. I hear all the time that I'm slow, but hey, I have 66 stolen bases.

Yadier Molina

People say I stole a lot of bases. I stole the bases for a reason. I crossed the plate.

Rickey Henderson

I don't give a damn about any actors. What good will John Barrymore do you with the bases loaded and two down in a tight ball game. Either I get the money (more than Barrymore), or I don't play!

Babe Ruth

You cannot have partition only on political bases or geographic bases. It should be social first of all when the communities do not live with each other.

Bashar al-Assad

I'm always gonna be in opposition no matter what, but I can still cover my bases and do what I like.

Ariel Pink

The rap game is kinda crazy, so I go with the flow but make sure that I cover my bases and do whatever to make sure I'm good no matter what.

Lil Baby

It's funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assume it's time to go out and get a job. But like many things the masses do, just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Steve Pavlina

Unlike in school, in life you don't have to come up with all the right answers. You can ask the people around you for help - or even ask them to do the things you don't do well. In other words, there is almost no reason not to succeed if you take the attitude of 1) total flexibility - good answers can come from anyone or anywhere (and in fact, as I have mentioned, there are far more good answers 'out there' than there are in you) and 2) total accountability: regardless of where the good answers come from, it's your job to find them.
