11. Everything takes twice as long as you plan for and produces results about half as good as you hoped.
努力加倍，期望减半。任何事情都是花掉你计划的两倍时间，最后却只换来你一半的期望结果。

12. People are oddly consistent. Liars usually tell lies. Cheaters cheat whenever it suits them. A person who confides in you has usually confided in several others first—but not got the response they wanted. A loyal friend will stay loyal under enormous amounts of thoughtless abuse.
人是奇怪的偏执狂。撒谎者总是撒谎，骗子总要行骗。一个人对你倾诉的时候，通常已在其它人的面前倾诉过，只是可能没有得到想要回应。一位忠诚的朋友，无论遭受多大的冤屈依旧忠诚。
