No one working as an astronomer is shackled in chains. This is a tremendous profession. There are lots of neat people, and you get to do cool things. If I had to say something negative, it's that there's often a whole lot of travel that takes me away from my children. That can be a bummer a lot of times.

Alan Stern

Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

For me, there is no such thing as a negative experience.

One of the negative sides of a really intense arc as a touring band is there are big gaps in your memory because you're so exhausted.

Aaron Dessner

Your You Use

You've got to have positives and negatives about you. I think that's a good negative, that the only thing they could say about me is my size.

Aaron Donald

Positive Good You

For me, all my negative thoughts that I have about, 'How did you miss that pitch? Why did you miss that pitch? You shouldn't have missed that pitch.' I just kind of sit there and kind of crush it up, and once I'm done doing that... I just kind of toss it aside.

Aaron Judge

You Why Us

When 'Men's Health' reached out and said, 'Will you be on the 'Today Show' and do a fitness challenge?' I said, 'OK. I'm not showing them anything they don't already know.' But I'm going to take what some would argue is a negative or not substantive and turn it into a substantive thing to hopefully do some good for people.

It's true that humanity has seen a succession of crises, wars and atrocities, but this negative side is offset by advances in technology and cultural exchanges.

Abbe Pierre

For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who's made one negative comment about me, I've probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.

Abby Lee Miller

You always have to remember that if you say something negative, it's going to come back to haunt you.

Abby Lee Miller

I've always been motivated more by negative comments than by positive ones. I know what I do well. Tell me what I don't do well.

Abby Wambach

Compromise has a negative connotation.

The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side... It has revealed to us much about man's shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health.

Abraham Maslow

Success Science Positive

Negative attention was better than no attention.

Adam F. Goldberg

Than Tent Ten

The only interaction I had with my brothers is like negative attention where I'd basically egg them on into beating me up - which was delightful! Otherwise, it was me with a video camera jumping on a bed pretending to be the Ultimate Warrior or setting up my robots making a Transformers movie because I was a lonely kid.

Negative feedback can make people feel inferior.

Let's not look at working hard as a negative; let's look at it as an uplifting opportunity for us to be better.

Adam Neumann

Work Working Hard Working

I love going on IMDb message boards, and there are some hilarious things that go on there - the most negative people on the planet.

Adam Wingard

Love Age Us

During my career I've come back to clubs after the summer break to see one of my team-mates not really at it because he's been denied a move to a bigger club for whatever reason, and you can see in his body language that he doesn't want to be there and that kind of thing is massively disruptive and negative.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

Car Age You

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be in a warm office every day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I know how lucky I am to be playing football for a living. The positives by far outweigh the negatives.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

War Time Positive

In every shoot, between the actor and the director there is manipulation. I'm not saying that negatively. It's healthy.

Adele Exarchopoulos

You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you, and you don't want them to look at you in a negative light. So you do things to make them proud and accept you.

Adepero Oduye

A lot of negative words adults call the young, like 'naive,' 'impulsive' and 'way too connected online,' are all things we can turn into strengths to help us.

Adora Svitak

Most artists - painters or writers - I think create out of stress or negative situations. Look at rock music. It's about getting things off of your chest, and it's a means of venting in many ways. That's what my work is about.

Aesop Rock

The Universal Zulu Nation stands to acknowledge wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, and equality, peace, unity, love, and having fun, work, overcoming the negative through the positive, science, mathematics, faith, facts, and the wonders of God, whether we call him Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or Jah.

Afrika Bambaataa

People always think I'm this zany character. But I think I just see the funny side of life, I don't see the negative side, and I think that's a very good energy to be around.

Ainsley Harriott

It's unbelievable that people have the time and inclination to be as negative as they are on a public platform about people who accomplish whatever they do in the public eye.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The perpetuation of gangster rap has really put a negative image on the city of Compton... So I look forward to addressing that image, changing it and making it more accurate.

Aja Brown

And they said if we help with the crisis, they would do a lot of positive acts. After we helped in those crises, they showed negative acts and the Japanese and Turks were ashamed.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

I'm not satisfied with the progress of the work, but I am happy that the talks are going on. It might have a negative effect if the United States joins.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

'Hello' was a niche film with no high levels of energy. It had no much happiness, no much dance in its screenplay. But it did a lot of good for me. I was in a negative space before it happened.

Akhil Akkineni

Call me boring, but I can't handle negative situations.

Akshaye Khanna

It's a very big mental game, all day leading up to warm-ups. You're not sure if your curveball will break, or will you be able to throw it over the plate? It's all negative thoughts going into the game.

Al Leiter

I think people want to get married to end their emotional uncertainty. In a way, they want to end powerful feelings, or certainly the negative ones.

Alain de Botton

Failure is enriching. It's also important to accept that you'll make mistakes - it's how you build your expertise. The trick is to learn a positive lesson from all of life's negative moments.

Alain Ducasse

If you're playing a negative character, sooner or later it rubs off on you. Some people don't mind living in that state, but I don't want to be there anymore. I don't want to live in a state of depression.

Alan Arkin

Fear invariably and universally induces disengagement, and disengagement is negative division of labor.

Alan Greenspan

I think it's interesting to know that being a geek isn't the negative thing that it used to be.

Alan Schaaf

No one working as an astronomer is shackled in chains. This is a tremendous profession. There are lots of neat people, and you get to do cool things. If I had to say something negative, it's that there's often a whole lot of travel that takes me away from my children. That can be a bummer a lot of times.

Alan Stern

But to me nothing - the negative, the empty - is exceedingly powerful.

Alan Watts

Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person.

Alana Stewart

When I first came into the side as captain, I was accused of being quite conservative, quite negative, and just doing what Andrew Strauss did.

Alastair Cook

There are countless studies on the negative spillover of job pressures on family life, but few on how job satisfaction enhances the quality of family life.

Albert Bandura

Skeptical doesn't have to necessarily be a negative thing. I think if you allow yourself to second guess things and look at things from a distance you don't immediately run into things blindfolded, so that's a positive.

Aleister Black

Don't focus on negative things; focus on the positive, and you will flourish.

Alek Wek

I like to accept it all, the negative and the positive.

Alek Wek

The biggest profit center for investment banks is the hefty fees they charge for underwriting stock offerings and giving financial advice, and analysts put those profits at risk if they publish negative conclusions about the companies that pay the fees.

Alex Berenson

Unfortunately my career began in Hollywood, doing a negative pickup for Universal pictures.

Alex Cox

A word, for example, that is negative, pejorative, and has caused more pain and suffering is 'illegitimate.' But every person has a mother and father. It is another way we let society hurt others.

Alex Haley

If somebody comes up and says something good about you, that is never taken as an adhesive thing like something negative about you.

Alex Haley

I try to dwell on the positive and not dwell on the negative as much as I can.
