The serve, I think, is the most difficult, in terms of coordination because you got to toss it up at the right time. - Roger Federer
You always want to win. That is why you play tennis because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it. - Roger Federer
You have to believe in the long-term plan you have but you need the short-term goals to motivate and inspire you. - Roger Federer
You have to put in a lot of sacrifice and effort for sometimes little reward but you have to know that if you put in the right effort the reward will come. - Roger Federer
A woman caring for her children; a woman striving to excel in the private sector; a woman partnering with her neighbors to make their street safer; a woman running for office to improve her country - they all have something to offer, and the more our societies empower women, the more we receive in return.
Being popular comes when you have everything. But to be liked, it means that you must be treating people with respect and you must be showing kindness toward them.
By its very nature, hard-line ideology is self-serving and self-perpetuating; its primary goal is to survive - and that precludes everything.
Children who have an education grow up to lead healthier lives - earn higher income, take better care of their families, contribute to their economies.
For many, the hijab represents modesty, piety and devotion to God, and I truly respect that. But the hijab should not be used as a means of applying social pressure on people.
Holy scripture does not hold women back. It's the people that decide to interpret it in such a way for their own, sometimes political, agendas.
I believe that if we want our children to understand the world beyond their classroom, we must bring the world into their classroom.
I don't think people by nature are extremists. You will never find a population of extremists. Extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. And what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.
I feel that values are the shield that you carry with you throughout life and it protects you from whatever life throws at you.
I feel that we don't have the luxury of asking whether or not the Palestinians and Israelis can achieve peace. I think we have to just ask the question of when and how.
I have nothing against the veil. And I think that, wrongly, many in the West look at the veil as a symbol of oppression. Now, as long as a woman chooses to wear the veil, because that's her belief and because of her own - that's a personal relationship with God, so she should be free to dress in whichever way she wants.
I think that, as is the case offline, we should not be tolerant of hate speech, racist comments, or groups that promote hatred or intolerance in any shape or form.
I work in areas related to child protection and family safety, women's empowerment, the creation of opportunities for youth, and culture and tourism. Daunting? Yes. Impossible? No. In fact, such challenges energize me.
I'd rather be dealt with as a person than a persona. With my children, I'm just 'Mom.' At the end of the day, the position is just a position, a title is just a title, and those things come and go. It's really your essence and your values that are important.
If you educate a boy, you educate a person, but if you educate a girl, you educate a family and benefit an entire community. An entire community - now that is really interesting! Then I found the quote changed a little more on the Kingdom of Jordan website by her Royal Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Queen Rania relates the quote in these words: As you educate a woman, you educate the family. If you educate the girls, you educate the future.
Innovation means possibilities are infinite. Innovation breaks moulds not limited by opinions or agendas.
It isn't often that the logic behind a policy is so clear. But when it comes to the value of educating girls, the evidence speaks for itself.
