All evils are to be considered with the good that is in them, and with what worse attends them.
You ought to be able to explain why you’re taking the job you’re taking, why you’re making the investment you’re making, or whatever it may be. And if it can’t stand applying pencil to paper, you’d better think it through some more. And if you can’t write an intelligent answer to those questions, don’t do it.
I find it very hard to make choices.
I don't give advice. I can't tell anybody what to do. Instead I say this is what we know about this problem at this time. And here are the consequences of these actions.
Anytime you're trying to set a course, there's gonna be decisions made, and you have to weigh all options, and then in the end you come up with the best course.
Before I take an offer seriously, I do my own research.
Life hands us a lot of hard choices, and other people can help us more than we might realize. We often think we should make important decisions using just our own internal resources. What are the pros and cons? What does my gut tell me? But often we have friends and family who know us in ways we don't know ourselves.
I am someone who takes a lot of time before making a decision and then has to be fully behind it.
I'm a very good decision maker because I have core set of principles and so I can make decisions. Decisions can be very hard and you have to wrestle with them, but I'm able to get all the data on the table and figure out what would be the best decision because decisions mean ill for some people and mean positives for others.
It's very difficult to decide. And I'm very open to proposals.
Eventually, it becomes a matter of scale. When the good outweighs the bad, you stay. When the bad is the only thing you notice anymore, you think about your future, or what's left of it, consider options.
Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried.
Words must be weighed, not counted.
But making big decisions shouldn't be easy - it shouldn't be that you have an idea, and you get to execute it without anyone questioning it.
For me, it is always important that I go through all the possible options for a decision.
