Thomas Jefferson's Rules of Behavior

Found this quote at a restaurant in Navoo.

"1. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself, 2. Never spend money before you have it, 3. Take things always by the smooth handle, 4. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly, 5. When angry count to 10 before you speak. If very angry count to a hundred."

Great Interview Question

At the end of the interview ask this question: "If you were to offer me this position and I were to accept it - and in one year I am the best hire you have ever made - what would I have accomplished?"

This came from the Studer book "Hardwiring Excellence."
