Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh. I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be.

People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done.
