Book Description
Years after finally getting away from farm work; after I had grown up working in my parent's dry cleaners, gone to college, and started my own career, I came to a shocking realization. My work in the real world was not very different from my work on the farm so many years ago. In fact when I made one of the few decisions they let entry level people make, I would fail to make the right decision when it was based on what I was taught in school. But when I based my decision on what I picked up from my limited farm life, it was a success. So when I tell people I am basing a decision on mule sense (my own form of common sense from the farms of Mississippi), it is not so out of place. When they considered the logic of the decision, I had little trouble convincing others I knew what I was talking about and my methods had merit.
