TOP FIVE REASONSTO BE

ASHEEP

#1: The feeling of FAILURE is more painful that the slight

tinge of REGRET for not trying

#2: Sheepdom means lower expectations for your life, but

lower stress & ZERO fear of failure

#3: Your only real job is to

BE

#4: Without the SELF-LOATHING that always accompanies failed ambition,

you can finally LIKE

yourself

#5: If you have any REGRETS at the end of your life, they

will be numbed by the morphine anyway
