Delicious to start but ending with pain and misery.

“The customer will pay this time, I know it.”

“The economy will turn around now, I know it.”

The government will fix things, I know it.”

Don’t let yourself be deluded.

Look for reality, confront it, embrace it, address it.

That way lies your only chance of success.

If you let yourself be deluded, you’ll fail.

Delusions are like poison honey:

Delicious at first, miserable in the end.
