“The correctness of any of our policies has always to be tested and is always being tested by the masses themselves. We ourselves constantly examine our own decisions and policies. We correct our mistakes whenever we find them. We draw conclusions from all positive and negative experiences and apply those conclusions as widely as possible. In these ways relations between the Communist party and the masses of the people are constantly being improved.” PeopleWayDecisionPartyMistakePolicyMassDrawsNegativeRelationConclusionCommunistTestedCorrectnessCommunist PartyNegative Experiences Author:Mao Zedong

“President Obama, when he was elected, he could have been a unifying figure. He could have chosen to be a leader on race relations and bring us together.

“Yet our interests, the interests of the Russian Federation, include the normalisation of relations with Japan, which is not at the bottom of the agenda. The whole range of what will be proposed for a solution, the entire range of matters related to the normalisation of our relations and what that would bring after normalisation, this is the whole range of issues to be discussed and decided, and those decisions should be of a practical nature.” ShouldMatterWholeInterestDecisionIssuesSolutionsDecidedRelationBottomPracticalsRangeRelatedJapanAgendasFederation Author:Vladimir Putin
“One of our great strength, world capitalism, is the most successful economic system possible, but has also become one of shorter and shorter cycles of evaluation. CEOs, companies, stocks, profits and debits change at an ever more accelerated pace in response to the demands of stockholders and the market. We have already experienced some consequences of the shortening cycle of decision making in business, but those are minor in relation to the grand systemic collapse that always eventually results from such accelerating and shortening periods for leadership goals.” WorldGoalDecisionSuccessfulEconomicCapitalismConsequenceRelationResponseDecision MakingCeo Author:Arthur Demarest

“But nirvana is a radical transformation of how it feels to be alive: it feels as if everything were myself, or as if everything---including "my" thoughts and actions---were happening of itself. There are still efforts, choices, and decisions, but not the sense that "I make them"; they arise of themselves in relation to circumstances. This is therefore to feel life, not as an encounter between subject and object, but as a polarized field where the contest of opposites has become the play of opposites.” IfsFeelsStillsPlayActionChoicesDecisionEffortAliveSubjectsFieldsObjectsCircumstancesHappeningsOppositesRelationTransformationIncludingAriseRadicalEncountersContestsMy ThoughtsThoughts And ActionsChoices And Decisions Book:Psychotherapy East & West Source: Psychotherapy East & West
“About 85 per cent of my "thinking" time was spent getting into a position to think, to make a decision, to learn something I needed to know. Much more time went into finding or obtaining information than into digesting it. Hours went into the plotting of graphs... When the graphs were finished, the relations were obvious at once, but the plotting had to be done in order to make them so.” ThinkingKnowsDoneScienceOrderHoursDecisionInformationPositionNeededFindingsRelationObviousFinishedMore TimeCentsObtainingGraphs Book:In memoriam, J.C.R.

“Value in relation to price, not price alone, must determine your investment decisions. If you look to Mr Market as a creator of investment opportunities (where price departs from underlying value), you have the makings of a value investor. If you insist on looking to Mr Market for investment guidance however, you are probably best advised to hire someone else to manage your money.” IfsLooksValuesOpportunityDecisionRelationInvestmentDetermineCreatorManageGuidanceInvestors Author:Seth Klarman
“The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment." Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship.” WorldDoeStatesUseGovernmentOrderIndividualDecisionLevelsGroupsInfluencePositionKeysMembersHighestRelationPressureHistoricalJustifyDecision MakingRepublicNew WorldEstablishmentConspiracyDictatorshipSovereignCouncilNew World OrderWorld OrderHigh LevelConspiracy TheoryConvertingWorld GovernmentNwoOne World GovernmentForeign RelationsAgenda 21Influence And Power Author:John Rarick
