Telling someone not to go to their university classes so that they can crunch on your $generic_web_app should be a jailable offense.

  To say that is to miss the point completely. He's not telling someone not to go to their classes, he's illustrating the sort of behaviour change necessary between "I tried" and "I did it". He doesn't "want a cookie" for working 20 hours on a Sunday night, he's illustrating the attitude shift between "I tried" and "I said I'd do it, so I did it".

    This is such Americanized bullshit. There's no difference between the two.

      That's like saying there's no difference between manslaughter and murder. The outcome may appear no different - success or failure - but the mental state is different, and the path to the outcome may be.
