Raising The Bar Quotes

The changing economic situation, the changing global market means it is understandable that employers are constantly raising the bar. It is challenging the education system to come up with ever higher standards to meet the expectation of employers. Jim Knight
For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least that’s why I’ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. I’m no great runner, by any means. I’m at an ordinary – or perhaps more like mediocre – level. But that’s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself,... Haruki Murakami
Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it. The children get overwhelmed by the tasks in front of them and gradually lose the sort of openness and sense of accomplishment they innately have. When they're treated like that, children start to crawl inside a shell and keep everything inside. It takes a lot of time and effort to get them to open up again. Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were. Haruki Murakami
I think that, back in the day, there used to be a lot of horror films that kind of had a checklist of what went into making the 'perfect horror film', and I think now people are raising the bar in the industry, as far as the types of horror films that are being made. Elisha Cuthbert
I love the 3D revolution. I love the technology today that continues to push the envelope, continues break the new ground, and continues to raise the bar. Dwayne Johnson
Greg Broadmore's fertile and twisted imagination has conjoined multiple genres, memories, and a sharp sense of pulp, colonialist nostalgia/parody in this lavish, fully realized, imaginative tour-de-force. It's Jules Verne meets Fritz Lang meets Tintin. It's beyond Steampunk. It's clearly an insatiable passion for the talismans of a bygone civilization and it's slavish addiction to the early industrial age in all it's filigreed, ignorant glory. Greg has raised the bar. Adam Savage
Heath Ledger's performance in 'The Dark Knight' quite simply changed the game. He raised the bar not just for actors in superhero films, but young actors everywhere; for me. His performance was dark, anarchic, dizzying, free, and totally, thrillingly, dangerous. Tom Hiddleston
Kristin Hersh quote: "If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone..."
If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me. Kristin Hersh
Bruce Jenner quote: "Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day."
Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day. Bruce Jenner
Mia Hamm quote: "Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little..."
Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed. Mia Hamm
Daisy Donovan quote: "Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and..."
Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high. Daisy Donovan
Tre Cool quote: "It was time to raise the bar higher, or lower if you're doing..."
It was time to raise the bar higher, or lower if you're doing limbo. Tre Cool
In today's global economy, however, it is important to raise the bar of excellence even higher. Today's students must be prepared to compete effectively on an international level. Kenny Marchant
William H. Macy quote: "The bar raises as you go."
The bar raises as you go. William H. Macy
Leave this touching and clawing. Let him be to me a spirit. A message, a thought, a sincerity, a glance from him, I want, but not news nor pottage. I can get politics, and chat, and neighborly conveniences from cheaper companions. Should not the society of my friend be to me poetic, pure, universal, and great as nature itself? Ought I to feel that our tie is profane in comparison with yonder bar of cloud that sleeps on the horizon, or that clump of waving grass that divides the brook? Let us... Ralph Waldo Emerson
