The Importance of Being Idle

Eleanor Rigby:

A notable Irish playwright and poet once commented that "hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing whatever to do".

And as such, it is the theme of Eleanor's musings today that hard work is unnecessary in the attainment of success.

A wise man once told Eleanor that,

sleep = rest
rest = energy
energy = ability to study
ability to study = success

Hence, sleep = success

True, this might not make sense on so many levels, but isn't sloth just so wonderful at times ?

Romario never attended training as a player but continued to terrorize defenders worldwide.

Winston Churchill merely drank his way through World War 2, and the Allies still won.

Paris Hilton merely showcases her bimbo-ness every once in a while for publicity ( and fame).

Barisan Nasional..... No comment

The Japanese work incredibly hard, but in today's newspaper, 25% of married Japanese couples have not had sex in the past year. Success, you say ?

It is rather obvious that an alternative path to success is sloth.
Being lazy is NOT a crime, it is merely a way of life. And sometimes an irritating habit.

AND SO, Eleanor urges all you hardworking souls out there to throw down the books, turn off your desktops, start lazing around and stop to smell the roses!

After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.




So remember people, when your parents tell you that working hard is necessary, that laziness is a sin, BELIEVE THEM NOT!

Laziness is perfectly alright.
