A Spirit of Laziness: The Ruler of Many Lives

One of the hardest habits to break, a spirit of laziness dwells in the lives of many. It is one of the greatest disguises in life, camouflaged by other excuses, yet working at every angle. It is quiet, almost unnoticeable, often times labeled as something else, something more acceptable. It is one of the most deceiving comfort zones, allowing you to feel safe and out of the way of challenges and change. It is a spirit that is always hoping to never be discovered because such a spirit knows that once it's realized or found out and dealt with, there's no stopping anyone who rids of it, sets goals and aims to succeed. Tawana R Powell ----------------------------------------------------- I have to admit when I read about the Spirit of Laziness I figured I was exempt because of my drive and passion for results. Reading this line opened my eyes to a deeper meaning "You must be willing to take a mental picture of your life, break it all down, and do the math". Everyone should take a moment and do the math because you may realize the Spirit of Laziness may be in the numbers. I recommend you read the book and figure out what it takes to rid yourself of this spirit. -- Theo Bowling, Management/Financial Services ----------------------------------------------------- As an educator with 22 years of experience in the classroom, I often ask myself, "How can I motivate lazy students?" A SPIRIT OF LAZINESS is a great resource to use in my classroom to help conquer this feat I will work, along with my students, to set goals that help us eliminate that spirit of laziness Work ethics, grades, behavior, self-esteem will improve I want my students to be able to motivate themselves enough so that they will feel a sense of pride in everything they do. --Tanya Riley, WSFCS 8th grade Math Teacher
