Mnemonic: Desultory is to failure as Tiger Woods is to golf.
-I chose this mnemonic because if you have no plan for what you are going to do, or how you are going to do it, you will more than likely fail. And when someone hears the name “Tiger Woods,” they automatically think of golf. Hence, desultory is to failure as Tiger Woods is to golf.
