1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though incredibly small, is not exactly zero.

7. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.

8. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
