Lesson 1: Procrastinate to the point of ruin...almost
You must learn the fine art of knowing the right time for action and inaction. Not waiting long enough will make you look responsible and waiting too long will make you responsible, and we dont want that. Remember act in proportion to the amount of bodily harm you expect to recieve from not completeing the task
Or, as Gandalf the Grey (and White) stated it: "A wizard is never late nor early. He always arrives precisely when he means to."
I hope I posted this response in the correct order and at the correct moment.
BTW, re the "Pan-Wendy" theorem, I believe that the same relationship was mirrored (excuse the pun, kiya) between Captain Cook and the crocodile, sans the "youthful" outlook. And, in their case, one of the personalities literally devoured the other one, then moved on without a further care. And, since I am more of the age of Cook than I am of Pan, I guess the "clock is ticking" toward my eventual demise. To carry the analogy a bit further (if, indeed, Cook is a time-hardened Pan), then Cooks rage against Pan is symbolic of self-hatred for youthful mistakes or jealousy of the "good old days" of a misspent youth. Sounds a bit like "mid-life crisis" to me. If so, then I am safe; I mid-life crisified years ago. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
