Chapter 4 No. 1 (2020. 浙江省山水联盟高三)Laziness is a state of inaction. It’s something that you do, not something that you are.____1____This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is identifying themselves as someone who is lazy. Lazy people are the ones who don’t do anything. You can view a student who never studies as lazy. You can see an employee who doesn’t do his work has being lazy.____2____But are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy? There is a huge difference between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. ______3______This is the myth of laziness.

So what causes a person to be inactive?_____4_____ If you give someone a good enough reason to do something, they will do it. If you give them a reason, a strong enough reason that is, they will take action. For example, if you are too lazy to go to the gym, would you go if someone offered you a million dollars to go? If you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action? ___5___Before you take action though, you need a compelling reason to do so.
