Advice from Thomas Jefferson

Spring is finally here in Umbria

Hello lovely readers,  this post doesn't much have to do with design but if you look between the lines it is clearly the nature of design for living. I personally believe in delegating and the team effort.  I at times find myself on a job site painting for 10 hours and repenting I hadn't eaten more, yet old Thomas has some simple good advice.

1. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.

3. Never spend your money before you have it.

4. Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap.

5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold.

6. We never repent of having eaten too little.

7.  Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.

8.  How much pain has cost us the evils which never have happened.

9.  Take things always by their smooth handle.

10. When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.

-Thomas Jefferson, U.S. president
