-Cheating causes stress (When you cheat, you inevitably worry about getting caught. The stress of getting caught increases when you consider the possible consequences of your actions; might lead to lying-> again causes more stress)
-Cheating eventually leads to failure. By skipping the hard work involved in learning, you will never develop the important traits of persistence, dedication, diligence, and sacrifice. Success takes hard work, and cheating is the easy way out. Eventually, you will find that it is difficult to achieve your goals without these important skills.
