As little as
possible!

rebel and
fight back. |
As little as
possible, except when kissing-up for a good grade. |
As much as
possible: Better grades mean a better job, means more money,

feel like; I like to do my best but quit when I get tired,
distracted or bored. |

As good as
possible to beat the competition. |

in my work.. |

Degree of
honesty in your schoolwork? |
None. I lie,
cheat and plagiarize any time. Frankly, I don’t give a damn.

cheat, and plagiarize as much as I can get away with and
still not get caught. |
I play
fair—cheating spoils any good grades that I might get. |

opportunities
and
rewards? |
Not much.
I work and
study all my life, and then I die. |

Fun,
personal growth, the pride of getting that sheepskin in my hands.

kick me out. Go to jail. |

what to do with my life. |
Poverty,
career failure. |
Wasted time
and money. |
|
Personal
time management principles: |
Do as little
as possible. Rebel. Drink. Sleep in. Ditch classes. Dream of
freedom some day. |
Go to class
for 4 years. Dream of summer vacation, winning the lottery,
or the beach. |
Plan my
own career day by day to build my own academic, professional or business
success step by step. |
Study to be
at my personal best and to take full advantage of any and all
opportunities to compete and win. |
