Avoiding Laziness
by A lazyman justifies his inactions in not starting on a task, project or assignment by throwing up barriers in his own mind. He throws up ridiculous excuses for his slothfulness. Laziness is more times than not accompanied by cowardice.
Whatever term is used to describe it; indolence, slothfulness, sluggishness, etc, laziness is disinclination or aversion to work or effort. It is a lack of care, effort or activity. Laziness is a triat that begins in the mind and finds its way to the surface (outward manifestation). Right from time immemorial society has always despised laziness and lazy people. This is because lazy people do not contribute in anyway to societal development.

Laziness is a contributing factor to the increase in other vices and indulgences in our society today . the lazyman’s crave for the good things of life coupled with his inability to work towards attaining those things draws him to corruption,violence, crime, etc.
While laziness is a trait that is fast catching up with our youths today, it can actually be avoided. Relgion and even common sense teaches us that hardwork begets success. One way to avoid laziness is to convince yourself that you will attain success through hardwork and dedication. Avoid indolent friends and philosophies that tend to suggest sluggishness. Be disciplined, be a master of your body and mind and not its slave; shun excessive pleasures, sleep, etc.
Another way of avoiding laziness is to plan your daily activities; outline what you want to achieve by the end of the day and work towards achievig them. Above all, studying pays.

An interesting (if shallow) perspective, argued with the passion and persuasiveness typical of a creationist (oops, I mean, “intelligent design”) tract.
I struggle to find evidence here that the author has any knowledge of the subject matter.
For a deeper perspective of a person who is engaged in a program to overcome lazyness, see http://myrichlifeuk.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/how-to-be-productive-when-you-are-truly-lazy/
As he points out, “[Lazyness] boils down to perceptions of what is important and what stimulates your mind.”
Because the author does not realize this, he may perhaps wonder why so many lazy people are so productive at those things which are important to them and stimulate their mind. This type of lazy person will work very hard to create a tool to allow them to do more with less effort. (Shame on them!)
Nothing here (I say this as a lazy person) rings true. I see nothing but a sequence of dubious assertions. The author makes no attempt to illuminate the subject matter, displays no curiosity for his field of study, no desire to understand what he is talking about.
I cannot even guess at his thesis or his reason for writing this. I hope that he can use this ciriticism (and the provided link) to improve his writing.
