Cheating

I to my perils Of cheat and charmer Came clad in armour By stars benign.

A. E. HOUSMAN

1859–1936

CHEATING IS LOATHSOME and deprives the cheat of integrity. Stealing something you had no right to have can only bring misery. Only achieving your goals on your own merit will bring happiness and fulfilment and the knowledge that you can survive alone.

Visualisation: You have the opportunity, before sitting for an important examination, to scan the questions and answers. You take it, even though you know you have the ability to pass without cheating. Unfortunately, someone has seen you and you are promptly disqualified. Your action has spoiled your chances of a bright future, brought shame on your family, and humiliation on yourself. It simply was not worth it, was it?

Affirmation: My achievements will always be a product of my own unique ability.
