Sleeping like a baby, implying that the baby is sleeping. When the baby is sleeping, they are very sound. However, when they wake (which is not to be confused with sleeping), it can become a hassle.
Anyways, I hate the following:
"Cheaters never prosper"
In a way they do not, but for their intent and purposes, they do. Why the heck would they cheat in the first place if they didn't prosper..
"If practice makes perfect, and no ones perfect, why practice"
That's completely illogical if you ask me. Eric can tell you, that completely defies him. |

Sly cheaters can actually devise brilliant plans to allow themselves to prosper. In such cases, they deserve it too. It's just like how a guy can pretend to be handicapped and after attracting sympathy from people and contracting a few donations, he can leave a picture of himself with the money in his hands with the captions "PWNED YOU F---ING LOSERS!". If he is able to pull a con like that and actually fool people, he more or less deserves the money  .
I don't get the "If practise makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practise?" part though... In what way does it concern me?

I just had to bump this thread.
I want to comment on that "cheaters never prosper" proverb.
You know, even though I was an excelling student, sometimes I fell as a pawn/tool to my peers. At the time I was in junior high school, cheating was considered 'cool', so even though I probably was creative enough to write about things which I didn't read beforehand, I cheated instead, to be cool. I was probably the best cheater there ever was, always getting away with it. It became like a mastered skill to me. Anyways, as I gradually elevated through school, my grades started to wane.
It was not because I could not cheat. It was because I thought that I would never have to read again, always resorting to cheating as the first alternative. In the beginning of my "cheating career", I would actually read my lessons just in case, but that was a habit which evanesced with time. I was also dejected because my friends used to receive the blame if any of our writings and literature turned out to be marginally identical or similar. It was quite a selfish thing to do. At first, I tried to make myself believe that I didn't care what my tutors thought about me, but I was wrong. It did really matter to me. I was getting this odd gratifying feeling that I was somehow fooling them, when I was really the loser. I started to realize the error of my methods, so afterwards, I poured in my heartiest dedication into my studies upto medical school and beyond.
Cheaters really don't prosper at all. I suggest that you never cheat at all. You won't go very far with it.
