Even our county's founders had the right idea back in the day. If you want it done right you hve to do it yourself. Thomas Jefferson once said "Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you". I took meaning from this quote because i feel like it is the truth. We were talking in my American Lit class about how if you have people that are under you doing a job and it is done wrong it is still your fault. I mean think about the quote that Jefferson said, ACT!! If you act on your responsible and get what you have to done than you know it was done right and you do not have to question it. I feel like this is how people in the old days felt. We referred to T. Jefferson in class as a man who knew that the people closest to him had to be good people. I think that is a lesson that people of every age should know. If you surround yourself with people that are going to reflect good of you than you will keep a reputation of being good. There are so many things to learn from our founders if we just pay attention to the little details.
