Bob Iger Quotes

Second thoughts oftentimes are the very worst of all thoughts.

I second-guess myself all the time. I make a decision and then wonder if I made the wrong choice.

I missed a lot of decisions. At the time of making such a decision, there was no doubt in my mind as to its correctness. However, a second or two later I felt that I erred and wished I could change my original ruling.

Second-guess [myself]? Yes, I do. I question everything I do every step of the way. Once I make the decision I'm almost blinded by believing in it, and then I usually hate everything I've done.

I question every move. I'm constantly second-guessing myself.

When we have 'second thoughts' about something, our first thoughts don't seem like thoughts at all - just feelings.

Leave undone whatever you hesitate to do.

You aren't sure if you're making the right decision - about anything, ever.

I've come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about... those are always the wrong choices.

I was disappointed a little in Stevenson because I did think he couldn't make up his mind. It's the feeling I always had. Perhaps all of us have self-doubt, and we should have, and most of us do, but it doesn't show. It doesn't show as much as it did in Adlai; he seemed to do it in public.

You just can't spend any time second-guessing yourself.

There wasn't a time where I felt fearful that I couldn't make the best decisions possible.

I'm starting to mistrust my judgment.

He felt that he was still groping in the dark; he had chosen his path but kept looking back, wondering whether he had misread the signs, whether he should not have taken the other way.

I second-guess and overthink and rethink every single thing that I do.

I don't know if I would do this if I had to start over again.

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

I am very indecisive. I'm always afraid of making the wrong decision.

We often repent of our first thoughts, and scarce ever of our second.

Sometimes I think I'm real predictable to myself and other times... you always wonder, Is this really what I wanted to do? Did I make a mistake? Should I be doing something else?

Yes, once—many, many years ago. I thought I had made a wrong decision. Of course, it turned out that I ha been right all along. But I was wrong to have thought I was wrong.

I always thought it better to allow myself to doubt before I decided, than to expose myself to the misery, after I had decided, of doubting whether I had decided rightly and justly.

I hope to God that I know what I am doing.

I'm the worst at making decisions!

I used to drive myself crazy by thinking, three days later, 'Ugh, why didn't I play it like that? Ugh, now that line makes sense to me.'
