"As with every phenomenon of the objective..." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“Decisions exist only in the present.”

“As a rule we perceive what we expect to perceive... The unexpected is usually not received at all.”

“The really important things are said over cocktails and are never done.”

“The leading rule for a man of every calling is diligence; never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”

“Adversarial power relationships only work if you never have to see or work with the bastards again.”

“Thinking is hard work; that's why so few do it.”

“It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes. In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational. Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time.”

“It has been said that figures rule the world. Maybe. But I am sure that figures show us whether it is being ruled well or badly.”

“Always find different ways to accomplish the mission. Then run a counter-analysis and list the advantages and disadvantages. When you have done that, you are ready to make a decision.”
