The Ty Mam Duw Poor Clare Colettines in Wales list ten steps to be miserable on their community website (. It is obvious that this ten point scheme for self-hindrance is what should be avoided at all cost:
- Sulk - this is highly successful and guaranteed to achieve lasting results.
- Grab - make sure that, always and in every place, you come first.
- Scowl - there is nothing to smile about, and you should let everyone know it.
- Assert yourself - it is the very least you owe to yourself.
- Do not complain, all you have to do is say, "I don't want to be difficult, but...". This will always get the point over.
- Argue - other people always need enlightenment.
- Be sentimental - it will prove that you are a beautiful person who thinks with the heart.
- Pick your food - slimmers must eat, no matter how many people may starve.
- Worry - this is one of the most genteel and widely accepted methods of avoiding responsibility.
- Never forget! Keep an ineradicable charge sheet of your neighbours failings printed on the inside of your eyeballs. And whatever good they may do, do not hold it against them
