Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday? 2. I can sizzle like bacon. I am made with an egg. I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg. I peel layers like an onion, but still remain whole. I can be long like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole. What am I? 3. What fails but never breaks: What breaks but never fails: 4. Part carbon, part water I am poison to the fishes. Many falsely claim my name. I am the pause that refreshes. What am I? 5. Many things can create one. It can be any shape or size. It is made for various reasons, and it can grow and shrink with time. What is it? 6. When is a door not a door? (Answers: 1. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow; 2. A snake; 3. Night and Day; 4. Soda; 5.A hole; 6. When it’s ajar. BEN FRANKLIN ON DECISION MAKING From The Writing of Benjamin Franklin, edited by Albert Henry Smith, courtesy of Gene Warren. “When Ben Franklin had a decision to make, he used the following method: My way is to divide half a sheet of paper by a line into two columns; writing the one Pro, and over the other Con. Then during three or four day’s consideration, I put down under the different heads short hints of the different motives, that at different times occur to me, for or against the measure. When I have thus got them all together in one view, I endeavor to estimate their respective weights; and where I find two, one on each side that seem equal, I strike them both out. If I find a reason pro equal to some two reasons con, I strike out the three. If I judge some two reasons con, to some three reasons pro, I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the balance lies; and if after a day or two of further consideration, nothing new that is of importance occurs on either side, I come to a determination accordingly. And, though the weight of reason cannot be taken with the precision of algebraic quantities, yet, when each is thus considered, separately and comparatively, and the whole lies before me, I think I can judge better, and am less liable to make a rash step; and in fact I have found great advantage from this kind of equation, in what may be called coral or prudential algebra.” |
