Barack Obama quote: "If the critics are right that I've made all my decisions based..."
If the critics are right that I've made all my decisions based on polls, then I must not be very good at reading them. Barack Obama
There's always a reaction based on fear. People assume if you're criticizing a decision to go to war, then you're saying something against the soldiers-which is not the case. Ed Harris
The offhand decision of some commonplace mind high in office at a critical moment influences the course of events for a hundred years. Thomas Hardy
In a way, I have to have a dictatorship. I can't be told that I'm wrong. That conflicts with what I was saying earlier about listening. It isn't to do with receiving criticism and responding to other views, it's who has that last decision. Trevor Nunn
We can do things the cheap way, the simple way, for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or, we can make the extra effort, do the hard work, absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future. Mike Rounds
Michael Bloomberg quote: "I know how to make decisions and stand up to the criticism..."
I know how to make decisions and stand up to the criticism every day. Michael Bloomberg
