Decisions Quotes A-Z by Author |
Money
is one of the most important subjects of your entire life. Some of life's greatest
enjoyments and most of life's greatest disappointments stem from your decisions
about money. Whether you experience great peace of mind or constant anxiety will
depend on getting your finances under control.

is the only way that we can get anywhere.
Because any decision-making that is based
upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good
conclusion.

My position is that I am personally opposed
to abortion, but I don't think I have a
right to impose my view on the rest of society.
I've thought a lot about it, and my position
probably doesn't please anyone. I think
the government should stay out completely.
I will not vote to overturn the Court's
decision. I will not vote to curtail a woman's
right to choose abortion. But I will also
not vote to use federal funds to fund abortion.

There are only two words that will always
lead you to success. Those words are yes
and no. Undoubtedly, you’ve mastered
saying yes. So start practicing saying no.
Your goals depend on it!
Jack
Canfield - Goals
- Success
- Decisions
Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty. You
cannot get ahead with your own goals if you are always saying yes to someone else’s
projects. You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you are focused
on the things that will produce that lifestyle.

Whenever a warrior decides to do something,

is doing it, and then he must proceed with
his actions without having doubts or remorse
about them.

I think the most important CEO task is defining
the course that the business will take over
the next five or so years. You have to have
the ability to see what the business environment
might be like a long way out, not just over
the coming months. You need to be able to
both set a broad direction, and also to
take particular decisions along the way
that make that broad direction unfold correctly.

You know in politics you are dealing in
the realm of choices. You don't always have
clear-cut decision between a thoroughly
principled position and a thoroughly unprincipled
one. You're making snap decisions with paucity
of information, generally trying to do the
best that you can, but you will make errors,
and sometimes it's a decision between a
bad and a worse alternative. It has to be
done, because we need to order our society,
and of politics it can literally be said:
Bad job, but someone's got to do it.
Peter
Costello - Decisions

I'm convinced that we
can write and live our own scripts more
than most people will acknowledge. I also
know the price that must be paid. It's a
real struggle to do it. It requires visualization
and affirmation. It involves living a life
of integrity, starting with making and keeping
promises, until the whole human personality
the senses, the thinking, the feeling, and
the intuition are ultimately integrated
and harmonized.

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather

Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives
make decisions or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous
mistake.

Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives

What is it that you like doing? If you don’t
like it, get out of it, because you’ll
be lousy at it. You don’t have to stay
with a job for the rest of your life, because
if you don’t like it you’ll never
be successful in it.

Today, whether it is a student who holds a sit-in to get the army recruiters
off his campus, or the mother of a dead soldier who refuses to leave the front
gate of the president's ranch, we continue to be saved by brave people who risk
ridicule and rejection but end up turning huge tides of public opinion in the
direction of righteousness. We owe them enormous debts of gratitude. It is not
easy to stand up for what is right, especially when everyone else is afraid to
leave the comfortable path of conformity.

If you took our top fifteen decisions out,
we’d have a pretty average record.

You can't build a strong corporation with

Russia has made its choice in favor of democracy.
Fourteen years ago, independently, without
any pressure from outside, it made that
decision in the interests of itself and
interests of its people.. of its citizens.
This is our final choice, and we have no
way back. There can be no return to what
we used to have before.

Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can't tell you whether

One of the biggest lessons I've learned recently is that when you don't
know what to do, you should do nothing until you figure out what to do because
a lot of times you feel like you are pressed against the wall, and you've got
to make a decision. You never have to do anything. Don't know what to do? Do nothing.
Oprah
Winfrey - Decisions

In my case, if one out of five opportunities
is interesting enough to work on, maybe
one in five of those ends up being worth
doing. That might be a function of risk.
That might be a function of price. There
are all the variables. But you have to be
constantly sorting and choosing and prioritizing.
