Moed en handelen

Volgens Thomas van Aquino is de eerste handeling van de moed niet het handelend optreden, maar het verdragen van existentiele angst. Het doel daarbij is niet deze angst te onderdrukken, maar te proportioneren aan de werkelijkheid om deze vervolgens in het dagelijks leven te integreren.

Le temps et le jugement

"Le coeur du sage connait le temps et le jugement
car il y a un temps et un jugement pour toute chose"
L'Ecclesiaste 8, 6.

Refine!

'Much of the difficulty in decision making arises when different people have different ideas regarding some aspect of the decision. The solution is to refine the conceptualizations of events and variables associated with the decision enough so that is can be made'
Clemens, R.T. 1997. Making hard decisions, 75

Multiple meanings

'A stated objective may represent different things to different people or multiple things to a single person. The distinctions are frequently subtle so that they are not recognized when objectives are being stated. Only during the tast of specifying attributes to measure objectives so the important clarifications occur'
Keeney, R.L. 1992. Value-focused thinking. Cambridge: University Press, p.159
