The most underrated virtue is Laziness. Some don’t consider it as a virtue but indeed it’s a virtue. Laziness is seen as the culprit of lack of success by many but lesser known that it is connected to efficiency. A lazy person may not be hard working but he can workout difficult things in a much simpler way. We tend to spend weeks, days and months to achieve our target but the same thing could be done in half of the time and is also the best possible solution.
Lazy people are not mentally lazy. They lack motivation to do things. Laziness become apparent to other people when we totally lose interest in doing things and the sloth inside us wakes up. The lazy group of people need a deadline to do things and when they within the deadline their work becomes highly appreciable. A regular hard working person may work in the usual manner but a lazy person can do things in a much more creative way. His work may be late but will be better than the rest. So laziness is a tool rather than a curse.
We all have willpower but willpower should be accompanied with tonnes of laziness. Without laziness we won’t be able to discover a efficient path. People do several thing without thinking about its use. But when we go deep into it, a question comes into a lazy person’s mind “Why am I doing this?” “Is it worth the time I am investing into it?”. A regular hard working man will never ever question. He will just do his job in the right time. Being a lazy person is a matter of courage also. We need to have the courage to question why is it important and if it not important then why am I wasting my time?
Being lazy is not bad. In fact everyone should be lazy in their lives. They should learn to question “WHY”?. Delegating work as much as possible. Do it with efficiency so you have times for other important things.
Don’t you think that being busy is overrated? Working hours and hours and sometimes pretending to be the busiest so that our boss gets impressed and award us the Best Employee of the Month. It is for sure overrated. It is better to be your own boss. And what the worse possible situation it can be. You won’t get the Employee of the month. To be true no one cares how many hours you are sincerely doing your work. Or how long it is taking to complete the work.
Why not work for the future version of you?
