Yep, the smart lazy man gets all the opportunities in life. I had to learn that the hard way. Right now, I’m trying to overcome my desire to work in a diligent manner. But as many have noticed my frequent Asia postings on on Free Republic during my scheduled work hours, show that I’m unable to enjoy the lazy life. And when I’m not posting stories at my desk, I read big books. Right now, I’m reading a biography on George Washington. But the book is a bad influence on me. It shows how our Founding Father became successful due to his hard work ethic. Perhaps, I should follow the advice of my Chinese colleagues and just play computer games. But whenever I try that, I quickly lose interest and go back to Free Republic. I hope I someday find a cure, because I would prefer to earn more money.

Yes, all in the blog section whether they belong there or not.

It's spam really.

I don't think it's so much lazy - there's that translation problem again - as it is something like conservation of energy.

In other words, instead of jumping in and starting to throw things about (my own personal failing), the smart lazy man thinks about it first and devises the most efficient way to accomplish his goal.

My husband is a big, slow-moving, quiet guy that some folks probably think is a little thick. But he accomplishes as much or more than I do with all my bustling about (the fact that he's a Georgia Tech man probably has something to do with it - old joke about a UGA man, an LSU man, a Tech man, and a guillotine . . . )

"Don't just DO something - stand there!"
