Cheat.

All along, I could have been more resourceful.
More creative.
Cheating's got a bad rep. But cheating's good most of the time.

Of course I don't cheat on tests. I don't cheat on girlfriends. And I'll never cheat with money.

But if you want something, there's some really creative ways of getting it. Or substituting for it. Or erasing the reason you need it.
And if you want to do something, there's usually a bunch of ways of doing it.
Sometimes people do stuff so creatively and effectively, it's like they're cheating.
