More quotes by Chris Hadfield
You can't change the bricks, and together, you still have to build a wall.
Chris Hadfield
Competence means keeping your head in a crisis, sticking with a task even when it seems hopeless, and improvising good solutions to tough problems when every second counts. It encompasses ingenuity, determination and being prepared for anything.
Chris Hadfield
Remember, nobody changes the world on their own.
Chris Hadfield
Every single day you're the result of what you did on the days prior.
Chris Hadfield
There's really just one thing I can control: my attitude during the journey, which is what keeps me feeling steady and stable, and what keeps me headed in the right direction. So I consciously monitor and correct, if necessary, because losing attitude would be far worse than not achieving my goal.
Chris Hadfield
Sweat the small stuff. Without letting anyone see you sweat.
Chris Hadfield
For the last several years and culminating in six months in orbit next year, I've been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two, specifically to live in on the space station for six months, to command a space ship and to fly a new rocket ship.
Chris Hadfield
It's almost comical that astronauts are stereotyped as daredevils and cowboys. As a rule, we're highly methodical and detail-oriented. Our passion isn't for thrills but for the grindstone, and pressing our noses to it.
Chris Hadfield
Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.
Chris Hadfield
What's the next thing that's going to kill me? is a mantra for pilots and astronauts.
Chris Hadfield
The rough and ready improvisational quality to life on board the International Space Station is reminiscent of a long trip in a sailboat: privacy and fresh produce are in short supply, hygiene is basic, and a fair amount of the crew's time is spent just on maintaining and repairing the craft.
Chris Hadfield
Anticipating problems and figuring out how to solve them is actually the opposite of worrying: it's productive.
Chris Hadfield
People tend to think astronauts have the courage of a superhero - or maybe the emotional range of a robot. But in order to stay calm in a high-stress, high-stakes situation, all you really need is knowledge. Sure, you might still feel a little nervous or stressed or hyper-alert. But what you won't feel is terrified.
Chris Hadfield
It is spectacular. From about five minutes in, when we knew for sure that we were going to have the weather to go, the smile on my face just got bigger and bigger, and I was just beaming through the whole launch. I mean, it is just an amazing ride.
Chris Hadfield
I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice.
Chris Hadfield
It’s not enough to shelve your own competitive streak. You have to try, consciously, to help others succeed.
Chris Hadfield
In any field, it's a plus if you view criticism as potentially helpful advice rather than as a personal attack.
Chris Hadfield
We are not machines exploring the universe, we are people.
Chris Hadfield
Fatherhood is the unending imperfect task of turning yourself into your dad while secretly maintaining the unbridled elation of your boyhood
Chris Hadfield
There is no problem so bad that you cannot make it worse
