Wise men vs. fools

Not worth deceiving

My grandfather used to remind me about things that are not worth deceiving myself: education & labor.

1. Education - if I trick myself or take an easy route in just getting an "A" in class, I will suffer down the road.
   
2. Labor (pertaining farming, fixing and etc.) - if the job is poorly done, it will not harvest.

Cheating in education and/or labor, is cheating in our future.
