THE LAZY THOUGHTS OF A LAZY
Laziness has always been my strong point. I am not proud of it, it is something of a gift and few possess it. There are many lazy people and many wasteful people, but a genuine lazy person is a rare breed. He is not someone who wanders around aimlessly with his hands in his pockets. On the contrary, his main characteristic is that he is always terribly busy. No one can enjoy laziness unless he has plenty of work to do.
