Some people look for an exuse to do something, and others an excuse not to. 

Had a guy at the gym I was using while traveling peek his head in and muse, "just as I suspected, pretty poor." He had no intention of working out, and now in his mind had a pretty good reason not to.

This got me thinking of times in my life I've used the same logic, and probably gotten similar results as the man who peeked his head into the gym.

Are you someone looking for any possible way to get something important done, or any excuse to let yourself off the hook?
