LAZINESS REQUIRES GUT

He who could dare to be lazy is very brave, he only need to redirect his bravery to be hard-working.

Why did I say so?

Nothing could be very demanding, difficult, risky, unprofitable, wasteful and painful like laziness. Imagine the repercussions among which are: poverty, limitation, shame and regret.

'Truth bi say person wey bi lazy and fit face the gbege get liver o. Him wey no get mind no fit try am. For where, I no get that kind mind!' I put that statement in Nigerian Pidgin which rightly means: Of a truth, whoever chose to be lazy and stand to bear it's consequences have gut. Someone that is not rugged cannot try it. No way, I don't have the mind!

The price and result of laziness which is the mother of failure far outweighs the price and reward of hard work or diligence. Diligence does not cost a thing and pay off while laziness costs so much and pays nothing.

Laziness requires gut. If you can dare to be lazy, you can dare to be up and doing. Why pay so much to lose so much? Instead, pay necessary price and gain so much more. It is not wise to invest your energy and time on what profit little or nothing.

Mind you, laziness is very subtle and many people are very lazy without knowing it.

A person is not just lazy by doing nothing. Numerous people are always busy yet very lazy and I called them 'strategic lazy people' making them 'invalid busy people'. They usually major in their minor and minor in their major. They are very busy at doing what profit little or nothing.

Refusal to do what is needful as at when due is a full display of laziness. When things of lesser or no value and necessity gain your earnest devotion leaving highly important things unattended to, you are lazy.
