My time at the Denver Public Schools taught me there is no harder, or more important, job than being a teacher.
Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.
When I first got into technology I didn't really understand what open source was. Once I started writing software, I realized how important this would be.
It's important to me to work in my own language now and then. I love English, but you can never learn to master a foreign language if you're not brought up with it.
My philosophy is that the most important aspect of any religion should be human kindness. And to try to ease the suffering of others. To try to bring light and love into the lives of mankind.
In my heart, I really don't care who you love, same sex or not; as long as you have the ability to love, that's the important thing here.
To me, the concept of distance is not important. Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
I'm very much a traditionalist, but I think it's important to know about tradition so that you can evolve the music you are deciding to make.
And I've also come to the conclusion that, as far as guitar solos and things like that are concerned, it's more important to complement the music rather than take away from it.
You get a lot of who you are as a musician across through the music you write. If you're writing your own music, then it's important to be really honest.
They look at what's more important, like subjects to help with the SAT's, etc. They miss that music is vital. It offers a break from a stressful day of science and math and it's different.

When I was younger, I was fascinated by David Bowie, for example. he had created an entire myth around himself. It was as important as his music.
Music makes or breaks an atmosphere. It helps to create the mood and also is a very important aural cue; simply shut off the music when you want people to leave.
Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.
People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.
Christians need a time and place to sanctify themselves. It's important to take the time, and early in the morning is a wonderful time to do it.
It's important for young women and men coming out of the fashion schools to think seriously before starting their own collections.
Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
For me it's also - the music is equally as important. I mean I think as somebody who writes music, there just has to sort of be the marriage between both.
I think acting is only one part of the piece of the movie. I'ts an important piece, but I'd like to be involved in all the other aspects of making movies.
