I admit that exaggerating the outcomes usually worked for me. For example, even if my supervisor told me that I can go back in the next week, if I cannot finish the current work, then his work was not the first priority for me.... He also stated explicitly that I would not go back until the current work finished which I was sick for continuing to do anymore. Therefore, I just sucked thumb and scratched head and tried my best to finish this ....

Well, silly...right?

In order to have better future, I have to work as hard as I can...

I cannot let the suitation to modify my thinking and objective, but can only modify my behavior...
