Kathy Sierra Quotations

Secondly, we need to seize the opportunity to invest in these new technologies. With typical energy infrastructure lifetimes of 20 years or more, decisions taken today will affect how energy impacts development and the environment for many years into the future. Now is the time to invest.

Just by going out and singing our language, it has really attracted a lot of kids to come and join this choir,

I might be pursuing a career in making hydrogen cars, ... There's a scientist in Kansas City, he has a school - Dr. Billings - he's been looking for some young Cherokee students around the Tahlequah area to come and learn his trade and then bring it back to our country and start business there.

That was quite an experience right there, ... We went to New York the year after it happened. It was weird, because there was just like a big ol' gap in between all these buildings and you could tell where the damage had been done.

Wherever we go, we're well-received. People love our music, and it really touches them,

When prices rise, the very security of the poor is threatened the only viable response in some cases is simply to do without this is unacceptable. Renewable energy can enhance a country's energy security by reducing energy import requirements; reduce supply risks by diversifying its energy portfolio and protect precious financial resources.

The song is called 'Orphan Child,' ... Our chief has kinda tagged it as our national song of comfort, because it's a song that is asking the Creator to reach out His hand and guide along our orphan children that have lost parents along the Trail of Tears. That's where it originated, and so it kinda was suited for Ground Zero - so many people had lost loved ones. So it is kind of a prayer, too.

Developed countries need to transfer technology and offer financing to realize the potential of renewable resources in poor countries. This makes good business sense. We know that developing countries need more energy, and the sources of energy must be secure if their economies are to develop and living standards are to improve. Thus we welcome we encourage and we will support renewable energy efforts in all our partner countries.

It was actually a little platform they had built for tourists or people who come to see the place, ... We sang to some people there people from everywhere. Everybody liked it. A few people cried. It was real emotional.

It's what separates us from any other culture, ... We have the only written language out of any tribe, and it's something that we need to hang onto; and if it dies out, our people will die out.

The international community has now started to worry about these issues in a more robust way. Last summer the G8 meeting at Gleneagles put climate change on the agenda as a major international problem that has to be solved. This summer, the Russians are going to be leading the thinking about energy security as part of their initiative under the G8.

If the rate of electrification of the past decade remains unchanged, it will take more than 40 years to electrify South Asia and almost twice as long for sub-Saharan Africa. This is unacceptable.

All Cherokee music has been made to where it resorts back to gospel, to our Creator,

We are all human, and caring about the way something looks and feels does not mean we're superficial--it means we're human. We don't need to exploit sex to recognize that a certain amount of sexiness is both pleasurable and natural.

Twitter, for all its good, is a hate amplifier.

Amazing, powerful, inspirational - those adjectives might make me sound like a fawning fan, but REWORK is that useful. Be prepared for a new feeling of clarity and motivation.

Code as if the next guy to maintain your code is a homicidal maniac who knows where you live.

Give users what they actually want, not what they say they want.

Make the right things easy and the wrong things hard to do.

Just make people better at something they want to be better at.

The best user experiences are enchanting. They help the user enter an alternate reality, whether it's the world of making music, writing, sharing photos, coding, or managing a project.

The secret to building great products is not creating awesome features, it's to make your users awesome.

It does not matter how awesome your product is or your presentation or your post. Your awesome thing matters ONLY to the extent that it serves the user's ability to be a little more awesome.

In many cases, the more you try to compete, the less competitive you actually are.

Upgrade your user, not your product. Value is less about the stuff and more about the stuff the stuff enables. Don't build better cameras - build better photographers.

Give users what they actually want, not what they say they want. And whatever you do, don't give them new features just because your competitors have them!

And finally, I think countries must be more strategic in terms of energy policy and reforms.
