Disclaimer: This article is in no way influenced by a book you might
know to be “How Laziness Saved my Life” by Mr. Okechukwu Ofili. That being
said, I must let you know that I agree with the notion that laziness has been
of more benefit to mankind than you think. Yeah, I mean it. Someone once said
that “I like to hire lazy people in my organization because they always find
the easy way out”. I do not know who made that statement and I frankly, I do
not care but my point is that I agree with him/her 100%.
Progress has always been bordered
by the desire to become better and to see that things are done in a better and much
simpler way. Look at it like this: we, humans, got tired of striking stones
together (which can be annoying) so we invented matchsticks; we got tired of
storing unnecessary information and performing some annoying tasks so we
invented the computer; our ability to lift weights was limited so we invented
cranes and fork lifters; we couldn’t keep cutting so much grass, thus, the lawn
mower.
Every machine, every invention
has been created for the sake of making life simpler for us all. We must start
harnessing our ability to be lazy to invent more ways to make life better.
Laziness makes us imagine things we never thought we needed. Let’s embrace hard work laziness and start
thinking of ways to make our laziness look more fashionable. Everyone loves the
easy way out (well, almost everyone).
Lol!
