Laziness is natural

Since the industrial revolution, laziness has developed a negative connotation.

Why, though? Laziness rules so hard.

Principle 10 of the agile manifesto is “Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential.”

Let’s do lazy-maxxing!

This Bill Gates quote is also widely circulated: “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”

Find the easy way to do it!

I also have a vague memory of a quote by some primitive person that laziness is the natural state of mankind and over-working is retarded. I searched the internet to find the exact quote, but only found stuff about how we shouldn’t have negative stereotypes about native peoples. It’s not negative. It’s AWESOME.

I’m too lazy to try any harder to find it.

Anti-hustle

The goals of hustle culture are stupid.

You want to be a millionaire for what?

You want to be a muscle-man for what?

You want to extend your lifespan for what?

Set better goals than that.

Poem by William Martin

Do not ask your children

to strive for extraordinary lives.

Such striving may seem admirable,

but it is the way of foolishness.

Help them instead to find the wonder

and the marvel of an ordinary life.

Show them the joy of tasting

tomatoes, apples and pears.

Show them how to cry

when pets and people die.

Show them the infinite pleasure

in the touch of a hand.

And make the ordinary come alive for them.

The extraordinary will take care of itself.

Conclusion

BE MORE LAZY!!

EASY IS BETTER THAN HARD!!

FIND ALL THE SHORTCUTS!!
