first, passionate commitment. i believe that a real passion is essential to lead others effectively. it is often said that you need to love what you do and we all aspire to that. but for leadership, it is essential. it is essential that you do love what you do. you have to let your enthusiasm show. in order to have others follow, to join in with their leadership and actually lead as well, that enthusiasm has to be very evident. for me, that enthusiasm centers around technology to help make the world a matter -- world a better place. the for each person, for each later, it is different and it depends on your own experiences and the things that make you tick. personallyrs identify with that mission of their enterprise. and that passion enables leaders to excite their teams and demand excellence in the performance of their organization. leaders must set and maintain course. that requires real knowledge and expertise. it requires a great investment of time. you need to invest the time to understand how your enterprise

a golf course and his other passion was san francisco. he was on 24th street with his children in san francisco district schools. he wants to have a minnesota golf course in san francisco. so if you approve this today you'll be approving something that doesn't exist currently in san francisco. he loves his neighborhood and his love of this fuel box off the building from the 20 century you'll see it will be kept as historically accurate but at any time the historic pieces will be equateed. >> good afternoon, commissioners steve fox i'm the still said the chief greens keeper. the first time i saw van ness it was the perfect place for san francisco golf course. it had this wonderful architect and all located in the mission which is the most vibrant part of the city. this is wonderful. it was love at first sight and that love affair was deepened when i heard that it had been vacated since 1999. given my other notable passions in san francisco and believe it or not minnesota golf it's been hosting muni golf promotions since 1993. i didn't make

he has a lot of compassion and passion important the neighborhood especially for kids. not too many people are involved with the safe packaging but he's compassionate and i'm passionate about kids, too. he's lived in the tenderloin for will 11 years now. living in the tenderloin he definitely get a lot of experience living here because you experience the good and the bad here. while there's a lot of bad things in the neighborhood i believe that steven has the talent and this to make a good impact on the citizen advisory committee >> i wanted to hand those in. >> can i have the overhead. >> my name is michael i wanted to point out that there seems to be a lot of problems with the previous program and people were eventually - that's why we have a lot of vacancy. i figure why we might as well advertise. i'm michael i'm the today, i'm speaking as the program director for the tense coalition. itself tennis accreditation represents the seniors coalition folks. and we have buildings in the intend lion area. we strongly recommended the individuals to be appointed peter for seat

passion and energy to what you do every single day. there is a great speech from i want tovelt, quote from that. i'm sure many of you have heard it already. i think it is one of the most powerful ages, filled with is just for everybody. credit belongs to the man in the arena who knows rate enthusiasms, great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause. who, at the best, in the end, nosy tramp of high achievement and not the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. leave it on the field. purchase paint, don't spectate. number six, understand that awareness with quotient. you know your strengths better than anybody else. play to your strengths, pursue your passions and learn from shortcomings. , certainly at my age my weaknesses are weaknesses. it is unlikely that a weakness of mine at 53 will be a strength at 60. i should play to my strengths and pursue my passions. remember your roots and keep your friends and family close. not just for the reason you think. it is not just about worklife allen's. -- work-life bal

i appreciated her passion for this issue. i really appreciate mr. andrews and his presence on the commission. i'm more familiar with his works on the hiv issues that were although he didn't have as much expertise on the commission i think he has a commitment to the issues. i will be supportive of a referral because i want everyone to feel we've had adequate time inform review the candidates. supervisor cowen? okay supervisor yee >> i want to say that i agree that both candidates is are good potential candidates. and i judged it as one has the capacity to look at complex issues whether they can be fair in the judgment and whether or not they put the time into it. i feel like i could loopholes look and possibly have even a better candidate, however, i didn't - i wouldn't vote for somebody who wouldn't qualify. i feel like mr. andrews does qualify for this and i'm going to stick to our recommendation >> colleagues any further discussion? okay supervisor al vascular has made a motion to refer this back to committee. could you please call the roll on the

there was a lot of passion for the mayor, and reformist camp. everywhere you saw pockets of people who felt it. but not palpably on the streets. did you also feel that way? >> you know, i've surprised by how much street action you do see, and that people are following the campaign. there are some people who are disenchanted and disillusioned. i think the young voters who were inspired by that 2009 race last time, they feel like there's no candidate for them this time. the reformers are not even reformers in name. everybody has moved to the right. so there's nobody that inspires that vote anymore. >> some of them didn't even want toe go on camera, saying we're not going to vote, we don't believe in this process. so you can't feel a lot of people wouldn't be joining the voting. but you also had the chance to talk to essentially the religious capital of the country. what did you see there? >> we went to where the ayatollah khomeini started the revolution. people talk about the revolution constantly. it's one of the most religious-centered places in

it's cumulative. >> you might even want to put 20% to your passion.ause maybe the first business you start may not be successful, are you prepared to take that risk. a lot of people need to think about the risks involved as well. >> there are a lot of jewelry companies out there. we were saying -- >> could have been a detriment -- well, think of something else to do. >> you know what, no matter what idea you have, there are going to be people around you that tell you all the reasons why it won't work. the naysayers are everywhere. the important thing is to listen to them, find the kernel of truth in it and use it to evolve your idea and make it better. we all have fear and we all have hope. you have to listen to that and let that be louder and realize you can make it different. you can make it better and believe in that and make it happen. >> i also think that you have had great success because of your attitude of sharing. you guys do an awful lot to share what you have with other people. i think that's important. >> thank you. >> that comes back to y

intelligent, passionate, abrasive. john adams i don't think was -- but other than that i really think john adams -- barney frank's is the john adams of our 21st century. i think patrick henry is rand paul. i think truly the two parties would love patrick henry. in the opening days of the first continental congress he made this speech arguing for proportional representation in the congress which he was defeated saying we are not just virginians or new yorkers. we are all americans and that gives an impression of henry as the continental minded politician but what he was mainly concerned about was protecting the interest of the most popular colony of america, the colony of virginia. all of his career his primary devotion was to defending the interests interests first of his colony and then of the sovereign commonwealth of virginia. so i think ian rand paul would get along pretty well. i really do think of all the 18th century politicians the one consistently through his career who is most consistently supporting of the t

the years and she is a well-spoken person, carries herself well, but most of all, she has a huge passion for her job and that is a huge plus. and that is what she really has going for her and we really support her. thank you. >> thank you. are there any more public comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed.

the young man would bring a passion to what they do. i think you saw that in the video that they do bring a passion to what they do. mr. stevens said it was not acceptable. he apologized and i truly believe they are sorry and we hope the board allows them to utilize both locations in its discretion. thank you. >> i have a question. how withel -- well does the appellant know the rules on the food cart. there is one specific related to music of noise ambient. it's not very loud delta that above the ambient that they are allowed to provide. >> the video is damning. as mr. steve's said this is a man that came to purchase food from them and acted like he was part of the neighborhood and hanging out when he was secretly videotaping them. if he had said to them would you please lower it. it's too loud especially at this time of night. >> i don't think that was the question. >> it's okay. i understand. >> how well do they know the rules? >> clearly they don't. if they do, it appears to be

the probability of statistics are not taught very much in passions and are not taught for a will. -- in many classrooms and are not taught very well. it is not that they do not know statistics. it is that they do not know how much they do not know know. -- we do notple focus on what politico says. the elite audience, the smart set is small. the elite is not a very good synonym for smart when it comes to politics. [applause] instead, the wave you might learn something from politico elite is figuring out what they do and doing exactly the opposite. is that members -- years studying members of the elite. when he tallied up their scores, he found that they had done barely any better than chimpanzees. he also found that a certain type did better than the others. eplus by these as boxes instead of hedgehogs. of hedgehogs.ad what does it mean to behave like one of those cute fox'es that can make something of the data we have today jack o? values youaim the have learned here at the new school. es value diversity and independence. i like a wide rage of information. we arenderstand that small

and she wanted me to follow my passion. >> rose: and what did you tell him about your passion? >> he knew that i wanted to write. you know, right from the very start. it was what i had always wantsed to do. >> rose: you are applying for a job at the hedge fund because you needed to feed yourself. >> exactly. and you know, but truthfully, again, it's a little bit like the theme in the book. you know, i got out of college and went to new york thinking i'm going to wait tables. and i'm going to use my extra hours to write pie book. >> rose: right. >> and i was trying to write a book. i wasn't quite ready to right a book, truthfully t wasn't going that well and i was having a lot of trouble making ends meet. and so would i have ever considered a job in finance if i hadn't been having those difficulties? probably not. so grateful i did. not only because i met jeff but also, you know, being surrounded for a year by people whose minds worked differently from mine, the education i got in quantitative analysis and also i developed a character for my first book which is an engineer. >> r

bill, frank was passionate about it. absolutely passionate about it. what it couldw mean. everything your dad did, everything he did was done with passion and success. .e was proud of adp , proud.roud .e was proud to be a jew he was proud of his heritage. proud to be a united states senator. like me and my colleagues, the greatest honor can be displayed -- can be bestowed upon you. and i don't think there are many senators, a lot of accomplished women and men here today, but i don't think there are many -- and some of them have done great things -- but not many senators who can in the immediate time that they are acting see immediately the effects of the good things they have done. frank was able to do that. ,rank knows that notwithstanding the fact that it probably did put you in trouble in college when he changed the drinking age to 21, and by the way, you're not kidding. [laughter] as ray lahood can tell you, he saved over 25,000 lives so far. people not smoking on airplanes. how many thousands more lives have that saved? , ass the reason why hillary reference, since 19

guy you're defending the bad system your words and actions have consequences you're either with a passion or you're against it i don't write history and sure as hell didn't choose for you to stand on the wrong side of it you're just some of the passion that is coming to an end and whether you recognize it or not yet it will be liberating for you to. i was also able to speak to remy about his activism and poetry i first asked him as a palestinian american what emotions come to his mind when thinking of the gaza flotilla tragedy three years ago. i mean it's sad and tragic i mean whether it's people killed on the flotilla the massacre in gaza in two thousand in two thousand and nine or dating back to the naacp you know israel has been allowed to act with impunity supported by the united states the european union the u.k. so for me it just reaffirms that notion that we need to be taking action it's important to educate and advocate but the flotilla was an action and so i work on boycott divestment sanctions specifically on cultural boycott and you know we live in the united states we're not a

i should play to my strengths and pursue my passions. number seven, remember your roots and keep your friends and family close. not just for the reason you think. it is not just about work-life balance. what i call your personal board of directors -- they are the ones who will always get unfiltered feedback from. they will be your foundation, your compass, and they will keep you grounded. number eight, i think you already know this, be prepared for every encounter. calvin coolidge taught as a long time ago that there is nothing in the world like to take the place of perseverance. it was vince lombardy that said the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. show up every day prepared. does not matter who you are presenting to. i can be presenting to a class of third graders as it was a couple of weeks ago. everyone deserves what. be prepared. number nine, the high road is less crowded but it is where you should always aspire to be. people will make it tough to say there. the good news for me, i really hate traffic and the

where that passion came from? you see a lot of people go on one trip for the uso or two trips and put out a new film and do public relation appearances, b but this was something clearly he viewed as a cause. >> he viewed the troops abroad having a connection to the sparan sparanos. that's what he started going over and then hbo came to him with ideas about doing documentaries and he started doing it and didn't stop. even when he played in zero dark 30 he, of course, interacted with those guys a bit and i remember at one of the many awards shows that we attended together, he made a joke how he apologized for not -- for not doing him right for -- he said he had a bad wig in the movie. >> a bad wig in the movie. a common theme from everyone we've spoken to about this sad news, that's how hard he worked and dedicated to his craft. any indication when you did the profile in 2010 of any health issues? >> no, i wouldn't say so. i mean, everybody who knew him, you could see what he was. he was a big guy. he didn't hide th

are passionate about and not making money. - what did you do? - well, bottom line is helping people. i got involved in some industries where i was serving people, try to help them meet their needs, and in turn, i found when you help people meet their needs, there's a product or a service that you're providing that they're willing to pay for. and ultimately that's how i did it. - what were some of those services, and how can other people take these same actions? - great question. direct sales was how i got my first start, just helping people create financial freedom on their own. then i went into traditional businesses, started a couple traditional businesses. in turn that led to incredible success. but at the end of the day, it all comes down to people, and i have found that if you have the right people, and you help feed individuals the right things, they will perform at a higher level than they are ordinarily capable of performing at. and when you get a group of those people doing that, moving in the same direction for a common cause, it usual

very passionate man. very tender man. we went through -- i think we went on a journey together he and i. and the rest of the cast during that play. i, you know, i really loved him. and admired him a great deal. it's still a real shock today. >> did he talk about all -- you mentioned the sensitivity required in the role. he was a very gruff, cut throat killer as tony soprano. did he think that maybe the audience won't find me credible or have difficulty digesting me in a different kind of role? >> well, i think he came in with expectations of playing it in a certain way and it wasn't maybe too far away from tony soprano and maybe that had become his comfort zone, his comfort zone possibly. but each day in rehearsals, he was another area more out of control, more child like. and what have you. he would chuckle. he would chuckle at himself. he had a great comic instinct. he realized that the audience would get a kick, i think, out of seeing him do other things and showing the other side. but it was -- he didn't find it easy

there was a lot of passion for the mayor, and reformist camp. everywhere you saw pockets of people who felt it. did you also feel that way? >> you know, i've surprised by how much street action you do see, and that people are following the campaign. there are some people who are disenchanted and disillusioned. some voters is file like there's no candidates for them. they're not even reformers in name. the one reformer stayed in the center. >> fair point. >> so there's no one to inspire that point anymore. >> >> reporter: and some of the younger people didn't want to go on camera, saying we're not going to vote, we don't believe in this process. so you can't feel a lot of people wouldn't be joining the voting. but you also had the chance to talk to essentially the religious capital of the country. what did you see there? >> we went to comb, and people talk about the revolution constantly, one of the most religious-centered places in the whole country. we spent time talking to people there. as you might imagine, support for jalali was overwhelming

for having the fortitude to devote the past several years of your life to learning and pursuit of passion. i want to thank your parents, friends, family, teachers, faculty for helping make those streams possible.

i know only my passion. what i can say is if you truly love fashion, you want to do a profession with fashion, you see -- they will find solutions. the things in fashion is to be right of with the moment with the society, with the desire, with what people need, and to understand also economically. of course, now, we have a moment where economically, there are a lot of things. it is reality. so knowing all that, you have to make the decision and find a solution about it and propose the right things. the ones who say that what to do the right thing for now, they will get it. only courage and love what you do. it is marvelous work. i am lucky because i do the work i love, and doing it, i love it even more. it permits need to be accepted and loved. if you receive love, you can give love.

very passionate man and very, very tender man. i think we went on a journey together, he and i, and the rest of the cast doing that play. and i really loved him and admired him a great deal. it's a real shock today. >> did he talk at all -- you mentioned the sensitivity required in this role. he was a very gruff and cut throat killer as tony sparano. did he think at all maybe the audience won't find me credible, the audience will have difficulty digesting me in a different kind of role? >> well, i think he came in with expectations of playing in a certain way that wasn't too far away from tony sparano, and maybe that had become his comfort zone, possibly. [ indiscernible ] he would chuckle and say, you really want me to do that? he had a great instinct. but he realized the audience would get a kick, i think, out of seeing him do these other things and show that other side. but he didn't find it easy to get there. so it was a real act of courage. i can't emphasize that enough. he pleaded with me on one occasion to be allowed to lea

have been responsible for so many of the success of the city's park system through your incredible passion and understanding of the important role that parks and recreation plays in this city, through your tireless advocacy, through your incredibly acute parks-focused public policy, and through your love of fun and joy and all that people love in their parks. you have been an incredible leader for san franciscoans in making sure that our parks are the world-class park system that they really need and deserve. and for me personally, this is incredibly bittersweet, because you and i, your tenure at neighborhood parks council as executive director started just at the same time that i started as general manager and we embarked on a path and a partnership to leveraging the non-profit and community-based advocacy of our park users for the betterment of our park system. and as i sit here today, i really, truly believe through our ups and downs, through some of the back and forth that inevitably happens through families with patrick goal our park system is so much better off because of our partner
