The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – I explore in detail a letter Jefferson wrote just a little over a year before his death to a young Thomas Jefferson Smith at the behest of the young man’s father. The letter is full of great advice which Jefferson lists in top ten fashion. He lists number one as “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” He lists number ten as “When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.”
