“Intuition is a combination of insight and imagination that was once attributed to spiritual communication. Mathematicians call it 'fuzzy logic,' drawing conclusions from vague or subjective input. The mind becomes aware without the direct intervention of reasoning. Once you can imagine something you can begin the process of creating it. Executives use intuition to make many product, investment, and hiring decisions, even if they deny it. Success in business may depend on an accurate gut.” IfsMindMayUseSpiritualProcessImaginationDecisionBusinessImagineProductsCommunicationDependsCreatingDirectLogicInvestmentDenyInsightIntuitionDrawingConclusionCombinationReasoningGutsExecutivesAccurateBusiness SuccessMathematicianVagueSubjectiveInterventionHiringInputFuzzyDrawing Conclusions Book:Thinking In The Future Tense Source: Thinking In The Future Tense

“Most of us think that decisions such as where shall I live, with whom shall I partner, what shall I pick as a career for my life are the most important decisions that we make. But from the point of view of the universe these decisions are not that important.

“For the institutions of the European Union are at present incomplete. A European Senate is badly needed to complete them. By creating an upper chamber in the European parliament, a new bridge could be built between national political classes, which retain democratic legitimacy, and the decision-making process in Brussels. Such a Senate should be recruited by indirect election from exisiting national parliaments.” ShouldPoliticalProcessDecisionClassNeededCreatingBuiltElectionInstitutionsUnionsDemocraticBridgesDecision MakingSenateParliamentChamberIncompleteEuropean UnionLegitimacyIndirectBrusselsDecision Making Process Author:Larry Siedentop

“We leave Scarlet Witch without a home, without a family, and she ends up creating a surrogate family within the Avengers and making a decision to be a part of the team.

“Because of the caste system, because of the fact that there is no social link between those who make the decisions and those who suffer the decisions, the Indian government just goes ahead and does what it wants. The people also assume that this is their lot, their karma, what was written. It's quite an efficient way of doing things.
