Why being lazy isn't cool

Well does it? Lets see what being lazy really does. I have seen lots of lazy people in this little world of mine but to be frank there are a few that top the list like no other.

Few very close family friends are like the laziest people in this world, yes I know I have to talk behind their back for the benefit of this blog entry to give you ideas of how NOT to be :)

There are a few people who wouldn’t bother doing anything just because they feel as if they do they would be going against the nature as if that’s why God put us in this world to be just getting the help from the government to be paying their bills. Since Norway has this system that if you don’t work then you are provided money to manage your life. Amazing isn’t it, but naa I do work and am glad I do.

I am just saying that those that do should either be uncapable of anything, any work be somewhat unfit, but sadly few that misuse this system are totally healthy and misusing the system because they don’t feel like doing anything. What are they teaching their kids? To follow their footsteps is definitly not going to get them anywhere.

Then there is other form of laziness, the people who don’t have any form of work and would rather not look for one either. This is a classic, since I have seen it in many close friends. They would love to work but won’t bother looking for it, my own brother hehe has managed to pull this trick since the past year now and amazingly he has done a great job in it too. Putting the “looking for work” thing ahead in the future as if the employers are going to knock on the door and say “Excuse me sir, you were looking for work”

I feel there is one thing that’s stopping lots of people and that is the fact that they can not manage to work in places they feel are for those people who have no education or well let’s say cleaning jobs or things like that. I am in no way against anything like that, because to be frank when I didn’t get a job in Norway I also worked in a big warehouse and that was great, working amongst those that really work for their money. I worked in various places, sales agent to working at a regular store on the till, from a bank to being a designer. None of the times had I ever been concious maybe because the thing that I learnt was that no job is bad if it puts bread n butter on your table.

That’s one thing I wanted to bring across in this entry that please for God’s sake stop thinking low of others who work at Fastfood chains, or just any cleaning job. Because first of all if you aren’t working, you can’t judge the others as they might have some serious issues or just like their job. So if they are working atleast they are doing something unlike you right? So this one is also for those that are too lazy to look for work and keep putting it off til tomorrow.

Remember, there is no tomorrow if you haven’t done anything today. Wake up and start sending your CV around, if you got no experience in anything then gain it. The best way to do that is by getting off your lazy bum and start doing anything, and everything :)

Believe me, you will be amazed what the power of a little bit of willpower will do to your confidence, your life and your future. People will be inspired by your strength and would love to be around someone who is happy with anything life throws at them.

Good luck.. :)

    Very well said One should never judge anyone for doing their work, coz its better to do something than nothing hmmm… I have come across few ppl as well who make fun of others coz of the work, though they are jobless them self, funny and sad na… :)

    I think some ppl simply take their Life tooo 4granted and believe that they will end up on the big chair just like that, well that doesnt happend atleast not in the real world, in movies maybe or dreamland yea it could happen but here in this world one has to work towards success, laziness only makes ones life sleep and that not so peacefully either…

    I read one Quote somewhere that “Success b4 Work comes only in the Dictionary” :) No doubt!!

    Good says Wakas bahi “being lazy isnt cool” for urself but also for ur family….coz it will become a long system that end will be U wont caring urself too…

    The more important isnt the job U r doing but the fact that U wake up every morning & do a ork on day & at noon U are happy coz what U have on ur table is urs one….i think just this fact make people happy…

    I did the experience…& i know when someone wanna do something from him heart he will do it …..& as Wakas bahi said some people are just acting that they look for job but in reality they are happy with govrnt help…but there is no life like this…& not fair ur children…parents r always an example for children so parents have to give the good example…

    There is always something to do for everyone on this earth just depending on U… :P

    Such a beautiful blog :) Hats off to you for finding such interesting n self awareness topics..Read others wonderful replies n Saanj sis audio comment too which was also very interesting. :)

    Very true, laziness is something that i would say comes just casually in u but then slowly it starts eating you up. Coz lot of things go with it. You tend to be a couch potato n gain weight. :) ..your brain juz doesnt think nethin but gettin bored n not knowin how to spend ur day :) …initially it mite be all okhay not to work but sit at home n do nothin but as it progresses in u, u will see lot of changes in urself.. attitude towards life, ur health.. These were just few health issues.. :)

    I totalli agree with Saanj sis saying “Dignity of Labor”… Thats wat had come in my mind as well when i read this. I wish more n more people wud understand this concept of dignity of labor. We have a tradition in our company where our employer does one day of janitors job. Cleaning restrooms n all that. Its a billion dollar company. Why wud he do that, some people mite ask? well, coz he doesnt feel there is any difference between what he does and wat janitors do, because both of them are feeding their family and living a life.. I totalli appreciate when people say, I dont care wat job u do, ofcrse shudnt be illegal but you are earning and feeding your family.

    I am thankful to God that he hasnt made me lazy and also for the job that I have but I also salute those people who do everything to keep our office space clean and worth working. Then be it the boss or the janitors… :) Imagine if those people would have been lazy then wat wud have happened :)

    Thank you and God Bless :)
