I never had to worry about putting a target on somebody else's back. Usually, the target was on my back.
I find it scary when people talk about me as a future leader. It's like putting a big target on your back.
I was talking to one of the writers about our target audience, and he was insulted that I used that term. But if you're given $60 million to make a film, you'd better know who your target audience is. That's who's going to pay back the bills you run up.
Even when I was hurt with triple ACL reconstructive surgeries, there was a target on my back. I had to come back and fight through it.
I happen to be a Sagittarius. That means we pull back the bow, we aim and fire at our target, and we aim to hit our target.
If you hate somebody, it's like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back and hits you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts.
It should be borne in mind that the target is always trying to shift responsibility to get out of being the target. There is a constant squirming and moving and strategy . . . on the part of the designated target. The forces for change must keep this in mind and pin that target down securely. If an organization permits responsibility to be diffused and distributed in a number of areas, attack becomes impossible.
When you miss the target, never in history has it been the target's fault. Ya gotta take responsibility!
The route to the target is more important than the target. We are going to go for the target, but we enjoy the route as well.
I'm already a big enough target. I'm already more famous than most people should ever hope to be, and, as such, that has a direct effect on the size of the target that is on me. And you always do what you can to reduce the size of the target while not reducing your presence.
Instead of shooting arrows at someone elses target, which Ive never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed. You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
A good novel doesn't just transcend the boundaries of its target market - it knows nothing about target markets.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Planning is like "pointing yourself" in the direction of a target...no more than that. Let your power then redefine the target, and re-point you in the correct direction. Think of it like this: An arrow is never going to hit the target unless it's in flight. If you sit around and wait for God to shoot the arrow, nothing is going to happen.
A lot of golfers take the club back with almost no upper-body rotation - they're all arms. And even when they do rotate back, it's usually on a flat shoulder plane. If your shoulders turn back fairly level with the ground, it's hard to swing down from inside the target line and hit an accurate shot.
Heroes understand the vast moral gulf between those who target the innocent and those who target those who target the innocent.
When it comes on politics, one of the reasons I never ever run, I could never say those kinds of things about someone else, and I would never want to be the target of something like that. I don't think it's necessary.
