There was, however, a difference between his mood and that of the rest of the cabinet. They felt desperate; he felt challenged.

I just want to be challenged. I want to be proud of what I do, and I want to learn new things and keep growing.

The fact is ones own voice is not heard anywhere else. Its a challenge to be yourself. It takes a lot of courage.

I love tennis with a passion. I challenged Boris Becker to a match once and he said he was up for it but he never called back. I bet I could make him run around.

Don’t let small obstacles be in the way of being victorious. Remember you are stronger than the challenges you face.

I find it some of the hardest photography and the most challenging photography I've ever done. It's a real challenge to work with the natural features and the natural light.

There's an adage that is an apt description of the new dynamic at work between brands and consumers connected through social media: People support what they help to build. But now that many brands are launching community-driven cause marketing campaigns the challenge becomes what to do next?

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted more than anything else to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

I think life is full of challenges and problems. I don't believe that anyone is perfect. We all make mistakes. It's not a bed of roses and you have to work real hard at it.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face.

Irony regards every simple truth as a challenge.

Truth lives in fact for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass so long as nothing challenges them just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

My biggest challenge is trust and really believing that trust in letting things just happen personally and professionally and trust with myself. But I'm getting better at it.

When you do a drama you are challenged to trust your inner voice much more. Because when you put a comedy in front of even a 25-person screening you know whether it's working or not. The barometer is overt.

One of the challenges in networking is everybody thinks it's making cold calls to strangers. Actually it's the people who already have strong trust relationships with you who know you're dedicated smart a team player who can help you.

We have fun we listen to one another we challenge one another we trust one another. We're doing what we enjoy and we're not just playing for each other we're playing for the people.

Trusting your individual uniqueness challenges you to lay yourself open.

Our covering ministry is Challenge for Christ ministries and Travel the Road was solely our mission arm designed to expose people to what missions are then connect them with agencies that send people out.

I can tell you that when I travel the state when I talk to people they are really struggling in a very real way. They're losing their jobs they're losing their homes they're dealing with financial challenges.

Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love like 'Primer' or '12 Monkeys ' 'Looper' is not about time travel. It's about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.

As a child I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.

I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.

The Teen Challenge Training Center on Pennsylvania farmland houses over 200 men in rehab. Other farms and centers have been birthed out of this ministry all over the world.
