Step 2: Not Failing Miserably

Appendix A: The Secret to Succeeding in the Face of Certain Doom

By now, you've probably already messed up the entire project. Don't worry, it's not your fault. It's just MANDATE-2's way of testing your resolve.

As the great philosopher, Chuck Norris, once said, "The opposite of a failure is not a success. It's just someone else not trying."

So, instead of giving up, try the following:

• Repeat the same mistakes over and over until they become habits.
• Convince yourself that the problem is someone else's fault.
• Blame the coffee machine for your lack of progress.

Remember, the key to success is not being successful. It's being slightly less unsuccessful than everyone else.
