Ah,
the lazy days of summer………………...
Did you know it was the lazy people who have
improved our lives. Look at how many
of our inventions resulted from someone being lazy?
- the lightbulb - someone was too lazy to clean, fill, and handle a multitude of kerosene lamps.
- wrinkle-free textiles - someone was too lazy to iron.
- automobile - someone was too lazy to care for horses and maintain a buggy and/or wagon
- email - someone was too lazy to hand-write a letter or memo and put it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and mail it.
If you think you aren’t lazy just look
around you at the various gadgets in your life.
I’m sure many of them allow you to be lazy in some form or another. As do many decisions you make each and every
day.
If you have a task that you want completed
more efficiently, ask an inherently lazy person to do it. A lazy person won’t dilly-dally, or make a
job more complicated by adding unnecessary steps to the process.
No, a lazy person will complete the task in
the most efficient, streamlined manner possible, so they can go back to being
lazy!
Being overly busy, or constantly on the go,
will not get you where you want to be, but properly applied laziness will.
Rejoice in your laziness, and allow it to
make your life easier and more enjoyable.
And don’t be surprised if others want to know your secret.
