The other 10 percent of the time you had no right to expect so much.
XXXVIII:
The early bird gets the worm.
The early worm ... gets eaten.
XXXIX:
Never promise to complete any project within six months of the end of
the year -- in either direction.
XL:
Most projects start out slowly -- and then sort of taper off.
