It doesn't matter how hard you work, there are forces that kind of prevent you from being the best you can be.

If you aren't learning, you are regressing, because more growth comes from failure than from success.
I've said this before: a homeless guy in Detroit has more mojo than a millionaire in Jacksonville.
I'm from the colonies, so I remember when the sun never set on the British Empire.
I learned analytics. It's a point of reference, of information. It has to be a factor in decision making.
Washing dishes gave me the sense of empowerment and feeling that I control my destiny.
Manager Kit Symons sees our players daily. As a top-flight player not that long ago, Kit knows and feels the game.
I love it. In the NFL, you win or you lose, and the money still shows up.
I would encourage someone to go to Brazil and try to do business there. BRIC countries get a lot of hype, but business there is brutal.
You go through life and learn valuable lessons.
There's a lot of young talent. I felt strongly that we wanted somebody with a great football mind who'd make it their mission to succeed. And a coach, likewise. Somebody young, energetic, open.
This is a partnership really with the fans. They have to come and support the team.
I have learned lessons in America about how you go about things, and what I know is that you find the best people, empower them, give them the resources, and hold them accountable.
I want to be clear: I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans.
I've lived the American Dream and had a great life. Immigration and religion and racial tolerance are the foundation of this country.
As a fan, there are times you get frustrated as to what you think a team ought to be doing.
One good thing about being in business is you learn to compromise. And so you learn to strike a deal that maybe isn't what you were looking for but is better than what you've got.
Paul came to the Jaguars in 1994 and has loyally served the franchise in a variety of capacities, most recently holding the title of Senior Vice President of Football Operations and General Counsel.
Throwing money on the fire is normally not the solution to every problem. You put the fire out by listening to the people who are smarter than you are.
I own two species of the raptors - Falco peregrinus and Falco biarmicus.
We have the talent in place, and I think if you are a Jaguars fan, you should be excited, and you should have some expectations that we're going to be a sustainable, winning organization now.
My priority is to ensure the club and Craven Cottage each have a viable and sustainable Premier League future that fans of present and future generations can be proud of.
There are 320 million American dreams. Go get yours.
I can control my destiny; I control my life.
You have to take the time to live in a place to collect all the pieces, develop a vision. You can't just go to Home Depot and buy everything.
I discovered the Four Seasons brand many years ago. There is a certain magic.
The bedrock of this country are immigration and, really, a great separation between church and state.
I can help as chairperson, and Fulham can help our NFL effort. Collectively, these synergies will help everybody.
People will stop me on the street, and they know - Jaguars. It's a certain street recognition we didn't have years ago.
When I got there, there were two sides: business and football. Business I understand. It was pretty obvious to me what we had to do. But the football side was like the Holy Grail.
In the auto industry, I spent years perfecting processes. Now, the successes and failures don't get the kind of publicity obviously NFL football does.
Mohamed Al Fayed took Fulham from the second tier to where they are today.
In just my interaction, I go to factories, and I talk to our employees. And in Canada, they have had a least a year or two more education. It's like, almost, I never run into anybody who hasn't finished high school. And in the United States, you have a lot who dropped out of 11th grade or whatever.
We have made a great effort to stabilize the Jaguars, and London has played a key part in that. We see the Jaguars as an engine and catalyst for the overall growth of Jacksonville, and I believe we have proven our commitment beyond a doubt.
The concept of head coach simply means being hyperfocused on the pitch and team performance.
Clubs shouldn't be counting on an owner just as a benefactor.
I don't think it's any different if I'm in the U.S. or in London. I look at operations globally.
I want Fulham to be very successful.
Basically, what I want to share with the Jacksonville fans is, here I am, reporting for duty and ready to serve the fans. Let the fun begin.
I believe the term 'head coach' has been misunderstood, though not by Slavisa nor nearly every one of the other candidates we interviewed. Slavisa avidly embraces the concept of head coach, which is to be on the pitch, training, organising, planning, and everything that comes in preparing for and leading the Club on match day.
Sashi will assume the general counsel responsibilities formerly held by Paul Vance, who is leaving the franchise after 18 years of service.
Toronto is a world-class city. You don't have a debate here about immigration because you need it to just maintain your pensions: that's dependent on people coming in to fund that. And again, I don't want to be controversial, but I think the average education level in Canada is probably higher than in the United States.
Urban living is an intersection of business and personal life.
In a way, NAFTA is like a scrambled egg. How do you unscramble an egg? The value chains are so interwoven that it would be very difficult to do that. But government policies force us to look for ways to unscramble it.
Football is about as popular as it can be in the U.S. The upside, the expansion and growth lies overseas.
I almost felt like I knew London before the first time I went there.
I really believe in fate or destiny, and I believe the Jacksonville Jaguars were my destiny. I believe, when it's all said and done, it couldn't have worked out better for me... man, oh man, this was just perfect.
As an engineer, I learned that a long time ago: you don't want to get into a rational discussion about irrational subjects.
You can do anything you want to do. You have to work hard, you have to create your own luck, and you have to have some luck also.
You can't confuse safety with religion or national origin.
