The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology but it will date it. By definition. Eventually it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
When I was a child I used to read books by Gerald Durrell who founded Jersey Zoo. He had a job collecting animals for zoos and for a long time that is what I wanted to do. Later when I was a teenager I had a fantastic English teacher called Mrs. Stafford. Her enthusiasm made me decide to be a writer.
My mother was an English teacher who decided to become a math teacher and she used me as a guinea pig at home. My father had been a math teacher and then went to work at a steel mill because frankly he could make more money doing that.
I first decided to become an actor at school. A teacher gave us a play to do and that had a major impact. At first I wanted to work in the theatre but there was something about the ambience of film especially American films that always attracted me.
I decided at age 9 but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can't say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies.'
I have decided to fight for my country because we have build a success story in Guanajuato with real results and more yet to come in the next two years.
Whether a party can have much success without a woman present I must ask others to decide but one thing is certain no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly.
But my strength was in singing and songwriting which was a new discovery for me when I was 18. And I decided if I pursued songwriting which is what was closest to my heart then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender that is strength.
I decided to create a sports club during the Soviet times. It was my dream.
The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world unlike film or books or sports even this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.
It certainly is dangerous that there are only a few clubs left in Europe that can afford to pay millions. At the end of the day however the spectators decide the rates of pay - by watching the games and consuming the goods and services advertised on sports TV programmes.
And to say that society ought to be governed by the opinion of the wisest and best though true is useless. Whose opinion is to decide who are the wisest and best?
Are we Darwinists - where we live and let live? Or are we nurturing as a society? There has to be a standard of living that we decide to support.
My fellow Americans you have to decide what kind of country you want to live in. If you want a you're on your own winner take all society you should support the Republican ticket. If you want a country of shared opportunities and shared responsibilities - a 'we're all in it together' society you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
I finally decided one day reading science fiction magazines of the time I could do at least as well as some of these people are doing. So I finally made a serious effort.
Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.
I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting.
So I decided on science when I was in college.
Though many have tried no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science which can do so much cannot decide what it ought to do.
It seems to me that socialists today can preserve their position in academic economics merely by the pretense that the differences are entirely moral questions about which science cannot decide.
From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle we just decided to go.
It's sad that people listen to music and decide how the singer should look.
I heard this music coming out of the radio and it was 'Ain't Nobody's Business.' It got me. I thought 'I can do this.' I decided just like that. No romantic story.
