I’m as lazy as a person can be. My mother has been telling me this since I was a little boy. In response, I tell my parents that I inherited my laziness genetically (“so don’t complain, Mum”). I also know personally a lot of lazy people. These people love to do nothing. Besides, what is not to like about spending the whole day at home doing nothing?

Things change whenever we, lazy people, set a goal to accomplish, though. When the goal is set, we become as intense as a race horse in its final spurt in a championship. When the goal is set, weekdays become short, week nights become weekdays, weekends are non-existent and national holidays are just a nuisance. When the goal is set, we don’t rest until it’s achieved.

Alas, when the goal is achieved, we chill out until we find our new play toy.

If you’ve always wondered how certain people can maintain a very packed schedule and not complain at all about it, you now know that it might be because they’re lazy.
