• Jack Barth's "Ten Rules"

    From warmfuzzy@700:100/0 to All on Sat May 5 09:19:29 2018
    The Ten Rules:
    --------------
    1. No matter where you are, act like you belong
    2. Behave purposefully. Especially if you have no purpose.
    3. Blend in. Become a "gray man" or woman
    4. Develop assesment skills by practicing even in circumstances in which you are merely a bystander.
    5. Learn to trust your instincts to make decisions---right or wrong, you will get better at it
    6. Never second-guess your decisions, but do analyze later
    7. Be aware that you may be overlooking things in your surroundings,
    especially if they are familiar to you.
    8. Accept the fact that some level of deception is a necessary part of the
    job.
    9. Don't be embarassed to be suspicious of other people's intentions
    10. Upgrade your memory
