An important lesson in life, which will be more applicable when you go out to work next time but nevertheless useful now when the situation arises. :)

If you are the only person who will be in deep shit for something not done, do not sit there and rely on the help of others. This is because in this type of scenario only you can help yourself; if you have to do it yourself, you have to do it yourself.

Xin Yu, look far ahead, see the big picture, and keep the determination going...
