Jeffersonian Minimalism Thomas Jeffersons 10 Rules for a Good Life

Jeffersonian Minimalism Thomas Jeffersons 10 Rules for a Good Life Was Americas third president  a minimalist? Probably not. We  need only look at his 5,000-acre Monticello home, his cannonball-powered clocks, and his  powdered  wigs to assume simplicity was  not on his mind. But he did have some compelling  beliefs  that align with our simple-living  values. These are Thomas  Jeffersons  ten rules for a good life: 1. Never put off till 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: it will never be dear to you. 5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold. 6. Never repent of having eaten too little. 7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. 8. Dont let the evils that have never happened cost you pain. 9. Always take things by their smooth handle. 10. When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, count to 100.
