Everyone would rather sit in a recliner binge watching their favorite show than working. The difference between lazy people and individuals who are successful is their work ethic. Successful people do not take the extra breaks and procrastinate like lazy people do. They delay gratification like an adult instead of slacking off like a child would when given a chore.
Many people enjoy playing "victim" and come up with many excuses for their lack of success. These excuses can be lack of opportunity, their boss not liking them, or their enslavement to everything from drinking vodka in the afternoon to internet porn. They blame a bad childhood, bad teachers, horrible bosses, you name it. What these problems usually boil down to is sheer laziness.
It's hard to believe that these lazy individuals are prevented from getting ahead by anyone but themselves. When you see a disabled individual working hard to bag groceries for an able bodied person who doesn't work at all, their reasoning seems illogical.
Many lazy people do have jobs; however, they rarely work. You can spot these slacking individuals hanging around the cafeteria, smoking area, or water cooler or making and receiving a ton of personal texts and phone calls during working hours. Some very lazy individuals even find time for cat naps, whether it be a stock clerk taking a nap in a warehouse, or an executive snoozing behind a closed hardwood door. The actions of both individuals are detrimental to success and unless they are the boss's relative, they won't last long in their position, and make life for those they work with more difficult. If a lazy person is assigned to a work team, the productivity of all the members suffers. If you are unlucky enough to have a lazy employee on your team, you may miss deadlines and forfeit bonuses, due to their dead weight.
Whether you call them work shirkers, hipster slackers, bone-idle space takers or slothful time wasters--it comes down to the same thing, they are just plain lazy.
