Thoughts

 A very simple one. These should be put into a bigger and better article someday.


Thoughts from Tom


Read The Souls of Black Folk by WEB DuBois.

Listen to David Blight’s semester class from Yale on the causes of the civil war.

Read Self Reliance by Emerson.

Read Good to Great by Jim Collins.

Read some Calvin and Hobbes.

Have kids write more and create fewer powerpoints.

Don’t be an over-delegator.

Don’t be an under-delegator.

Tell people, clearly, what you want to see from them. 

Use a style guide like Brian Garner’s Dictionary of Modern American Usage but don’t be an asshole about it.

Eschew Buffalo wing analogues.
