Top Technical Skills Quotes

Technical Skills Quotes By Ronnie Milsap

I'm a singer, not a vocal stylist. My breathing is correct; my enunciation is precise. Because of that, I can sing anybody's music. Yet there are stylists whose technical skills are so underdeveloped they can sing only their own songs their own way. They might be remembered for their hits longer than I am. I'll probably be working longer than they are. I can sing whatever the times and the trends demand. — Ronnie Milsap

Technical Skills Quotes By Ryan Kavanaugh

Without audiences, artists would be doing something else, and their creative and technical skills would fall on absent eyes. — Ryan Kavanaugh

Technical Skills Quotes By Alfie Kohn

Non-cooperative approaches, by contrast, almost always involve duplication of effort, since someone working independently must spend time and skills on problems that already have been encountered and overcome by someone else. A technical hitch, for example, is more likely to be solved quickly and imaginatively if scientists (including scientists from different countries) pool their talents rather than compete against one another. — Alfie Kohn

Technical Skills Quotes By Daniel Goleman

Comparing the three domains, I found that for jobs of all kinds, emotional competencies were twice as prevalent among distinguishing competencies as were technical skills and purely cognitive abilities combined. In general the higher a position in an organization, the more EI mattered: for individuals in leadership positions, 85 percent of their competencies were in the EI domain. — Daniel Goleman

Technical Skills Quotes By David Byrne

I'm concerned that my technical skills have advanced to the point where I can get closer to what I'm aiming for, which is not such a good thing. — David Byrne

Technical Skills Quotes By Alan Greenspan

Senator, we are groping for understanding, the knowledge you assume I possess doesn't exist' - 'The only effective regulation lies in the propensity of customers to choose alternatives, of investors to move their funds elsewhere and of labour to acquire technical skills' - 'Senator, if I seem clear to you, you must have misunderstood me' - 'Unfortunately, Senator, nobody knows where the next innovative idea is coming from. Political decisions are never random and will always lose out to innovative alternatives — Alan Greenspan

Technical Skills Quotes By Anthony Hopkins

I'm not unfamiliar with music, and I really do write music. I've gotten a talent for it. I don't have the technical skills, but I do plan to learn. — Anthony Hopkins

Technical Skills Quotes By Bruce Lee

It is true that the mental aspect of kung-fu is the desired end; however, to achieve this end, technical skill must come first. — Bruce Lee

Technical Skills Quotes By Hugh Laurie

I don't really understand why everybody doesn't want to direct. It's an absolutely fascinating combination of skills required and puzzles set on every possible level, emotional and practical and technical. It calls upon such a wide variety of skills. I find it completely absorbing. — Hugh Laurie

Technical Skills Quotes By Daniel Goleman

Cognitive skills such as big-picture thinking and long-term vision were particularly important. But when I calculated the ratio of technical skills, IQ, and emotional intelligence as ingredients of excellent performance, emotional intelligence proved to be twice as important as the others for jobs at all levels. — Daniel Goleman

Technical Skills Quotes By Brandon Stanton

I've always felt like an artistic person. I can't draw or paint or sculpt. I never really had technical skills, but I've always felt like I appreciate really beautiful things, and part of taking a good photograph is being able to recognize beauty. — Brandon Stanton

Technical Skills Quotes By Robert C. Martin

The hardest thing about choosing good names is that it requires good descriptive skills and a shared cultural background. This is a teaching issue rather than a technical, business, or
management issue. — Robert C. Martin

Technical Skills Quotes By Yo-Yo Ma

Mastering music is more than learning technical skills. Practicing is about quality, not quantity. Some days I practice for hours; other days it will be just a few minutes. — Yo-Yo Ma

Technical Skills Quotes By Vinnie Colaiuta

You must show respect and compassion towards the other musicians, and at the same time try to guide things along. I think this is most important. Obviously, you need the capacity and the skills, but technical skill alone is not enough. — Vinnie Colaiuta

Technical Skills Quotes By Brian Henson

And with puppets, especially in our company, we sort of demand a very high standard of puppetry, so it's a real technical skill. — Brian Henson

Technical Skills Quotes By Irvin D. Yalom

Client-therapist disagreement about the goals and tasks of therapy may impair the therapeutic alliance. This issue is not restricted to group therapy. Client-therapist discrepancies on therapeutic factors also occur in individual psychotherapy. A large study of psychoanalytically oriented therapy found that clients attributed their successful therapy to relationship factors, whereas their therapists gave precedence to technical skills and techniques.84 In general, analytic therapists value the coming to consciousness of unconscious factors and the subsequent linkage between childhood experiences and present symptoms far more than do their clients, who deny the importance or even the existence of these elements in therapy; instead they emphasize the personal elements of the relationship and the encounter with a new, accepting type of authority figure. — Irvin D. Yalom

Technical Skills Quotes By Aaron Swartz

I was around computers from birth; we had one of the first Macs, which came out shortly before I was born, and my dad ran a company that wrote computer operating systems. I don't think I have any particular technical skills; I just got a really large head start. — Aaron Swartz

Technical Skills Quotes By John Irving

It seems to me that people who don't learn as easily as others suffer from a kind of learning disability - there is something different about the way they comprehend unfamiliar material - but I fail to see how this disability is improved by psychiatric consultation. What seems to be lacking is a technical ability that those of us called 'good students' are born with. Someone should concretely study these skills and teach them. What does a shrink have to do with the process? — John Irving

Technical Skills Quotes By Annie Dillard

There must be bands of enthusiasts for everything on earth-fanatics who shared a vocabulary, a batch of technical skills and equipment, and, perhaps, a vision of some single slice of the beauty and mystery of things, of their complexity, fascination, and unexpectedness. — Annie Dillard

Technical Skills Quotes By Mary Pope Osborne

It's difficult to choose between these art forms. Iconography is entirely different from the style of the 15th century masters, who were experts in foreshortening and perspective. The technical skill and visual effects of painters like Uccello have to be admired. They achieved a level of artistry that has never been surpassed, in my opinion. — Mary Pope Osborne

Technical Skills Quotes By Douglas Hurd

There is nothing false or arrogant about German pride in German technical and business skills. — Douglas Hurd

Technical Skills Quotes By George Lucas

As the workplace becomes more specialized, from offices to medical centers to factories, teams of people must accomplish their work by collaborating with each other. In my work in filmmaking, we need talented individuals with technical skills, but their abilities to communicate and work with others are just as valuable. — George Lucas

Technical Skills Quotes By Kevin Mitnick

It was used for decades to describe talented computer enthusiasts, people whose skill at using computers to solve technical problems and puzzles was - and is - respected and admired by others possessing similar technical skills. — Kevin Mitnick

Technical Skills Quotes By Daniel Goleman

IQ and technical skills are important, but Emotional Intelligence is the Sine Qua Non of Leadership. — Daniel Goleman

Technical Skills Quotes By Jack Ma

A leader should never compare his technical skills with his employee's. — Jack Ma

Technical Skills Quotes By David Brooks

Cultivation of the hard skills, while failing to develop the moral and emotional faculties down below. Children are coached on how to jump through a thousand scholastic hoops. Yet by far the most important decisions they will make are about whom to marry and whom to befriend, what to love and what to despise, and how to control impulses. On these matters, they are almost entirely on their own. We are good at talking about material incentives, but bad about talking about emotions and intuitions. We are good at teaching technical skills, but when it comes to the most important things, like character, we have almost nothing to say. — David Brooks

Technical Skills Quotes By Daniel Goleman

Research shows that for jobs of all kinds, emotional intelligence is twice as important an ingredient of outstanding performance as cognitive ability and technical skill combined. — Daniel Goleman

Technical Skills Quotes By Tim Hughes

Rather than relying on my skills, the musical ability of my band or the technical expertise of our production team, I want to learn to rely on the leading of the Holy Spirit. Only then will our churches come alive in worship. — Tim Hughes

Technical Skills Quotes By Agatha Christie

It's no good starting out by thinking one is a heaven-born genius- some people are, but very few. No, one is a tradesman - a tradesman in a good honest trade. You must learn the technical skills, and then, within that trade, you can apply your own creative ideas, but you must submit them to the discipline of form. — Agatha Christie

Technical Skills Quotes By Itzhak Perlman

Heard Ori Kam and was deeply impressed with his achievements as a violist. His technical and interpretive skills are truly unique. I see a great future for him. — Itzhak Perlman

Technical Skills Quotes By Minor White

Different levels of photography require different levels of understanding and skill. A "press the button, let George do the rest" photographer needs little or no technical knowledge of photography. A zone system photographer takes more responsibility. He visualizes before he presses the button, and afterwards calibrates for predictable print values. — Minor White

Technical Skills Quotes By Petra Collins

With any medium you are working in, technical skills obviously help, but your mind is what you really need to expand. That is how you create work. That's the role of the artist - to change the way you view things. — Petra Collins

Technical Skills Quotes By Louise Nurding

For a performer, passion is far more important than technical skills. If a dancer's leg isn't at a perfect angle, I can see past that, but if someone's dead in the face, it's really boring. — Louise Nurding

Technical Skills Quotes By W. H. Auden

It's a pity I am so impatient and careless, as any ordinary person could learn all the techniques of photography in a week. It is the democratic art, i.e. technical skill is practically eliminated - the more foolproof cameras become with focusing and exposure gadgets the better - and artistic quality depends only on choice of subject. — W. H. Auden

Technical Skills Quotes By Raf Simons

I have so much respect for John [Galliano]s technical skill and the fantasy, its just something that I dont find relevant now, especially when it restricts a woman, because in every other area they have so much freedom. — Raf Simons

Technical Skills Quotes By Hugh Laurie

Directing is the best job going. I don't understand why everybody doesn't want to direct. It's an absolutely fascinating combination of skills required and puzzles set on every level - emotional and practical and technical. It calls up on such a wide variety of skills. I find it completely absorbing. I just love the whole process. — Hugh Laurie

Technical Skills Quotes By Danny Boyle

Your first film is always your best film, in a way. There's something about your first film that you never ever get back to, but you should always try. It's that slight sense of not knowing what you're doing, because the technical skills you learn - especially if you have a film that works, that has some kind of success - are beguiling. The temptation is to use them again, and they're not necessarily good storytelling techniques. — Danny Boyle

Technical Skills Quotes By Warren Buffett

Emotional makeup is more important than technical skill — Warren Buffett

Technical Skills Quotes By Liz Halliday

They are both all over physical sports that require being focused, accurate and having good strength. They are both fast with big consequences if things go wrong, so I have to be alert and aware at all times. With racing there is much more endurance and technical skill. — Liz Halliday

Technical Skills Quotes By Frans De Waal

Would we have evolved the same technical skills and intelligence without these supremely versatile appendages? — Frans De Waal

Technical Skills Quotes By Alan Mullery

When it came down to technical skill and ability of the two teams, Croatia were far superior. — Alan Mullery

Technical Skills Quotes By Paul J. Zak

So while we need to provide people with technical skills that will help them find employment, we can't afford to neglect the even more basic skills -- reading, writing, thinking, feeling -- that allow them to become fully realized human beings who care about the world they live in and the people who share it with them. — Paul J. Zak

Technical Skills Quotes By Arthur Penn

A lot of directors in television have come up through the technical ranks. They have all the technical skills in the world. They're not all that familiar with actors. — Arthur Penn

Technical Skills Quotes By Ashley Wagner

Yu Na Kim, Mao Asada, Carolina Kostner - all these girls can do triple-triples in their sleep, and they have the skating skills and the spins and the rest of the technical jumps. So I have to have that as well if I want to be able to call myself 'competitive' against them. And when I say 'competitive,' I mean I want to win. — Ashley Wagner

Technical Skills Quotes By Carly Fiorina

Look, you need technical skills to run a company. — Carly Fiorina

Technical Skills Quotes By P.G. Wodehouse

It is not mere technical skill that makes a man a golfer, it is the golfing soul. — P.G. Wodehouse

Technical Skills Quotes By Jack Ma

Your employee should have superior technical skills than you. If he doesn't, it means you have hired the wrong person. — Jack Ma

Technical Skills Quotes By Milford Zornes

For years, I went around the world looking and then painting, but now I have to think first and then paint. It's driven me to find the design concept first, and to rely on my memory and technical skills to supply only those details that are needed. — Milford Zornes

Technical Skills Quotes By Teresa Amabile

Creativity depends on a number of things: experience, including knowledge and technical skills; talent; an ability to think in new ways; and the capacity to push through uncreative dry spells. — Teresa Amabile

Technical Skills Quotes By David D. Burns

Learning to accept failure on multiple levels is, to my way of thinking, the key to become a world-class therapist. But that means humility, and setting your ego aside, while you develop superb new technical skills. — David D. Burns

Technical Skills Quotes By A. Ashley Straker

Odessa sighed. 'When I said you were one of the smartest people in the company, I was referring solely to your technical abilities. Now get to work. — A. Ashley Straker

Technical Skills Quotes By John Elder Robison

Being lonely as a kid might well have been necessary for me," I told audiences in my talks. "If I'd had the friends I dreamt of, I'd never have spent the time to become the machine aficionado I am today. Now that I'm grown I can put that in perspective. The world is full of friendly people with no technical skills. The few of us who see into machines like others see into humans are singularly uncommon, and we're valued for that. If we use a technology like TMS to help a lonely teen today, will we be taking that exceptional ability away from him tomorrow? Should we trade friends in seventh grade for designing a working spaceship at age twenty-five? — John Elder Robison

Technical Skills Quotes By Patrick Kua

The time you spend honing your development skills, such as seeing patterns in code, refactoring code to be easier to maintain or extend, and writing tests does little to prepare skills in resolving conflict, establishing a team culture, or communicating technology in ways that non-technical people can understand. — Patrick Kua

Technical Skills Quotes By Brownie Samukai

We had discussions at the Department of Defense on the issues of utilizing and requesting the full skill of United States capabilities, both on the soft side and on the side of providing logistics and technical expertise ... And, we as a country are extremely pleased with the announcement that we have heard, and we look forward to that cooperation as expeditiously as we can, — Brownie Samukai

Technical Skills Quotes By Earl M. Coleman

Early in her career, Muse engaged her skills for technical purposes, such as document translation and schematic visualizations for government entities. She continued to write and paint poetically, in secret, using her pen name, Muse. An inner compass is evident in her work. Pieces reflect both past and present dilemmas; while showcasing her victories in overcoming these obstacles ~ all from her faith based perspective. Light touches of modernism play hand in hand with old world strokes, offering highly visceral readings. — Earl M. Coleman

Technical Skills Quotes By Marc Jacobs

I've learned a lot about doing accessories and making shoes and handbags. I don't think my perspective has really changed. The subtlety of understanding yarns, what makes a fabric what it is - I've learned technical skills and more about the craft. — Marc Jacobs

Technical Skills Quotes By Gerad Adams

A good ice hockey player is someone who has good communication skills, is willing to listen and willing to try new things. It's a very technical game and not that easy to pick up. It's a lot of fun but you just have to be patient. — Gerad Adams

Technical Skills Quotes By Bjarne Stroustrup

[Corporate programming] is often done to the point where the individual is completely submerged in corporate "culture" with no outlet for unique talents and skills. Corporate practices can be directly hostile to individuals with exceptional skills and initiative in technical matters. I consider such management of technical people cruel and wasteful. — Bjarne Stroustrup

Technical Skills Quotes By Richard Askey

Like a stool which needs three legs to be stable, mathematics education needs three components: good problems, with many of them being multi-step ones, a lot of technical skill, and then a broader view which contains the abstract nature of mathematics and proofs. One does not get all of these at once, but a good mathematics program has them as goals and makes incremental steps toward them at all levels. — Richard Askey

Technical Skills Quotes By Viswanathan Anand

There are two aspects to being competitive; one is to do with sports, and the other is about technical skills. Being able to recollect the moves and apply them when necessary is a critical aspect. — Viswanathan Anand

Technical Skills Quotes By Sara Genn
