Failure #311 - Failure to Self-Fulfill

Creator

"The more you take steps to avoid something, the likelier you are to create it" is the basis of all lectures and admonitions about self-fulfilling prophecies. At the end of the day it's a lesson about attitude, which of course means that you start running into problems when you try to apply it generally. Not that it's going to stop people from lecturing you with it anyway.
