Watch what you eat \u2013 it might reveal more than you think it does!<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an old story that Edison always believed in taking the people he was thinking of hiring, out to lunch. When the soup arrived, he would sit back and watch. Those that tasted the soup before salting it, he wouldn\u2019t immediately cross them off his list. Instead, he would ask them questions and keep an open mind about their possibilities. However, anyone who salted his soup before tasting it wasn\u2019t worth his salt. Why wouldn\u2019t he hire these people? Because Edison believed these individuals had blinders on when it came to looking at life – they had too many assumptions about what was possible and what wasn\u2019t. After all, they assumed the soup needed salt before they tasted it. So perhaps Edison was right-that you can tell a lot about a man by when he salts his soup. It\u2019s interesting to think about.<\/p>\n
Moral of the story \u2013 Next time you\u2019re invited to lunch by management or a prospective new boss, hold the salt until after you taste the soup!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
