Tests
"Some common indicators and their possible interpretations are presented below:
Age first left home. Leaving home at an unusually early age could be indicative of a troubled childhood/adolescene. This, in turn could lead to a diminished ability to behave responsibility in society.
church attendance. Those who are not brought up by church-going homes are often thought to be lacking a strong moral foundation. Needless to say this would be a strike against you.
3. Grade attained in school. Dropping out of school could indicate 'mental laziness' and/or difficulty in dealing with authority figures.
4. Grades attained in school. Even if you do graduate, poor grades could be seen as a sign of mental laziness.
5. Mobility of parents...It is impossible to form roots in a community, and social interactions are reduced to a never-ending circle of leaving old friends behind and trying to make new ones.
6. Mobility of self. If you move of an adult, you 'll be looked down on.
7. School misconduct. A biggie. The inability to behave in school is a sure-fire indicator that you may not be able to behave in the real world.
Steadiness of employment. Another biggie. If your work history reflects a lot of short-term jobs with numerous employers, you may be labeled as 'flighty' (or incompetent) and therefore, a poor hiring risk.
9. Prior criminal records."
"Keep in mind that the interpretations presented above are not valid for all individuals. In fact, one of the major criticisms of bio data tests is that they reduce people to statistical types and cannot truly individualize or take uniqueness into account."

Boss
> "One thing you discover as soon as you become your boss is that you aren't. Every customer is your boss. You could go from one boss to hundreds of bosses, so get used to it. Keep in mind that if one of those hundreds of bosses fire you, you still have a job, you just don't work for that boss again."
"Business brokers are an ideal place to look to help you.
As in any dealings, remember 'Buyer Beware.' Many business owners kite the income and eliminate the expenses in the final years so that the business looks good on paper.
There was a trailer court for sale. There were about 100 trailer sites and a general store on the property. The trailer court owner also operated the general store. The entire package seem reasonably based on the site rentals, but the individual site rentals seemed about $100 higher per month than the other trailer parks in the are....The buyer completed the transaction and took title to the property. He also became the owner of the general store where the tenants paid their site fee each month. When the following month came around, the new owner gleefully awaited the tenants. The first one came in and paid the stated amount (that you remember was about $100 higher than the neighboring trailer courts). The owner gave the tenant his receipt and the tenant just stood there waiting. The tenant said, 'My chips!" Further discussion revealed that the owner had given the tenant back $100 in plastic chips that could be used in this store for pop, beer, and other store items."
