For me taking a pragmatic decision when it comes to art is almost an oxymoron. The reason I first picked up a pen and wrote a story had nothing pragmatic in it.
We make thousands of decisions everyday in automatic mode without a mistake. Yet we don't reflect and celebrate this wonderful mode of human decision making at work rather, we put the blow torch on the one moment when it doesn't work and something goes wrong.
I believe that the 9th Circuit will not let Robart's decision stand. I say this fully appreciating the fact that the 9th Circuit is the most idiosyncratic in the country and the one most often overruled by the Supreme Court.
It's everything and I always make decisions about the cast.
I think that there are certain principles which should guide decision-making for a president. One such principle was that we're all God's children, and every life is precious. To me, that's a moral statement.
He who owns a hundred sheep must fight with fifty wolves
Seize what's been handed you. Make smart decisions. Make decisions because life is a temporary situation.
The largest 100 corporations hold 25 percent of the worldwide productive assets, which in turn control 75 percent of international trade and 98 percent of all foreign direct investment. The multinational corporation. . . puts the economic decision beyond the effective reach of the political process and its decision-makers, national governments.
I think all decision making is very instinctive, in the end.
Having made the decision to love, had I chosen life instead of death?
I've chosen not to challenge the rule of law, because in our system there really is no intermediate step between a Supreme Court decision and violent revolution. When the Supreme Court makes a decision, no matter how strongly one disagrees with it, one faces a choice are we, in John Adams' phrase, a nation of laws, or is it a contest made on raw power?
Design is a career where you learn creative decision making.
But the rule seems to be that the bigger and more life-changing the decision, the less it will seem like a decision at all.
All law is situational law. The sovereign produces and guarantees the situation in its totality. He has the monopoly over this last decision.
Not eating meat is a decision, eating meat is an instinct.
I want the government in the DRC and everywhere where gender inequality is a problem, it's not only an African problem, to take this seriously, also to do everything they can to ensure that we put an end to impunity, to address the problem of impunity and also to assist the women; to empower women, to make sure that they have a voice and a seat at the table where decisions are made.
I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors, not accountants.
I reverence the individual who understands distinctly what he wishes; who unweariedly advances, who knows the means conducive to his object, and can seize and use them.
Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you. Find out what the facts are, and make your own decisions about how to live a happy life and how to work for a better world.
If you make the tough decisions, people will hate you today. But they will thank you for generations.
