Laziness is something we encounter every day, at home, at school and on the job site. We see lazy people of all ages, shapes, and colors everywhere.
Some of them are obvious; others are not so obvious, from those who simply do nothing to those who make it look like working. Whatever the level of one’s laziness, it is more an issue of insufficient productivity than specific personality traits or work habits.
Mel Levine, MD, a professor at the University of North Carolina Medical School said in his book, The Myth of Laziness, that “laziness” is a term referring to a dysfunction causing output failure. When an individual or a group doesn’t perform up to optimized potential, they fail, and are often labeled “lazy.”
