THE WORLD BELONGS TO THE LAZY

Not my words though

All week, my head has being going “I’ll be fucked up if you can’t be right here”. Then there goes the buttocks moving up and down. Its a very catchy tune. Its a challenge going on around Tik-Tok, I don’t even know why I am telling y’all.

MY THOUGHTS

This days I have being finding it hard to retain a single chain of thought. Like having an uninterrupted thought flow. It turns out its a constant battle with the internet this days. I actu….. Oh shit. Its not about me today. Today, Gibberish Steve has a guest author. He is a mate of mine. A close one. Very shrewd and much enlightened, with his bunch of unconventional ideas and unconventional way of delivering them. Apt still. This is one of those ideas, and don’t worry, I’d be with you every step of the way;

The World Belongs To The Lazy

A few years ago, I read that Bill Gates, the founder and ex CEO of Microsoft specifically requesting that his Human Resources officers purposely hire lazy people to occupy some offices in his Organization. According to him, these people would always look for the easiest way to solve a problem. I know a man, Ajibola Salami who mostly employs third class graduates in his company because he believes these people are more goal oriented and less theoretical. That is exactly true. When men hurled stones in the olden days, it was lazy who came up with the idea of building wheelbarrows, that could tow more stones with lesser physical exertion. Every Inventor and Investor in history had a certain laziness gene in them. I'd get back to this at the end of this article.

Ask yourself, have you ever been in your house or office and everything was messed up, and you couldn't muster strength to put things in order, or you didn't want to. Then suddenly, you had a call from an important person who was coming over, and in less than ten minutes the house was gleaming?

Now hold up a minute there my man.

Or have you ever had an assignment deadline, or work deadline, and like Merlin the Warlock, you conjured magic to meet up with such deadlines? Well, I am a living testament to that. I prefer to lay in bed all day like an inactive serpent, and since I'm into a lot of things, from trading, to being a sales rep, a writer, a delivery agent, a painter, and I screed beautifully too, and this is just to mention a few. The powers of magically meeting up with deadlines is what keeps me going.

Being lazy has it's advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that you engage your brain always, looking for the shortest, fastest, easiest, less time consuming, and more energy saving way to finish tasks. The biggest disadvantage is that, you tend to procrastinate and sleep on tasks. To put this into perspective, I was supposed to have written this four weeks ago. But i procrastinated, till I missed the deadline, and almost ruined my work relationship and friendship with Steven Onyejekwe.

Y’all, that’s me grin

I would say it is a two edged sword, and this path must be threaded with caution. We see things from different perspective, because while I was growing up everyone dreaded being called lazy. But I knew then that we could actually make laziness work for you. All you need do is look for ways to maximize use of your brains, which is hard and smart, depending on what direction you are looking at things from. Like I mentioned earlier, Inventors and Investors all share a common laziness gene. The lazy man never wants to work for long or forever. If bill gates wanted to work hard, he should have taken a job at a construction site and hurled bricks and concrete.

Wellllllllllllllllllll

I have seen people die on their jobs, my father did and he was 82, and was honest and hard working. I have also seen people who have, or have promised they would retire before they were 50 years of age. I recognize that while talent is universal, opportunity isn't, and taking into cognizance that I live in the poverty capital in the world, with unfavorable legislation and financial environment, it is harder for my compatriots and people living in Nigeria to actualize such dreams. But it takes a certain level of lazy "I don't want to work" to want to retire before 50. And so, from early, they begin to invest and invent. They look for ways to make their lives easier and less stressful. Nowadays, many people, especially youths are embracing financial freedom by taking the bull by the horn. Many of the people I know that graduated with me in 2018 today are not working with their degrees, and even those that did, are furiously trying other things, in the hopes of quickly jumping away from poverty. The regular 9-5 jobs no longer applies to many people. Making money on the internet, through vast opportunities are now available, and more and more people are beginning to buy and hold crypto currencies on the blockchain technology.

Don't get me wrong, Laziness don't mean the disdain or disregard for work, it means you look for a way to maximize the work you put in. It means you let your resources work for you. It also mean you work now, so you can lay in bed all day in future.

for a second there

For me, the world belongs to the lazy.

I am a lazy ass, of course I agree with everything.

MYTH AND FACT @MythAndFact

Selwa Hussain is the Britain's only woman who does not have a heart in her body. She takes her artificial heart in a bag and move it with her. #MythAndFact

Any man who breaks her heart would literally kill her.

The most dangerous trap when learning from others is to stop thinking for yourself.

At some point in my life, I was living life by the metric of Mark Manson. Until I realize, Mark has his life, I have mine. I took a deep and thorough introspection.

Mark Manson @IAmMarkManson

Stop living based on these four things: 1. Other people's opinions 2. Fear of failure 3. Emotional scraps 4. Comments on your tweets Start living based on these four things: 1. Your terms 2. Lessons learned from mistakes 3. Respect and support 4. More vegetables

Here is the new Mark you guys. Life advice for you all.
