It's taking me too long to get to this one. Not because I'm lazy, but because I've been swamped.
Someone called me lazy today. The good kind.
Normal lazy bothers me. Lamenting a situation but never working to change it, accepting a bad situation with a shrug, not working to one's potential. That bothers me.
But I'm amazed by the kind of lazy that doesn't accept the status quo and makes it better by making it easier. Remote controls, automatic transmission, voice activated stuff... that type of thing.
This applies to work, too. All the time we hear "This process is dumb. It's repetitive, it takes too long, there must be a better way." I admire the person who says that and then steps up and makes it quicker, easier, faster.
To me, that's the person who's always wondering... are we in The Matrix? (Or in simpler terms, if I right-click or long-press, are there hidden options?) They don't simply accept things as they are, they want to know why... why is it like this? What was it like before? What will happen if I mess with it? Who's behind the curtain? Do I have to?
This kind of lazy is inquisitive, curious and introspective. This kind of lazy changes the world.
Disclosure: Still behind. Maybe this weekend?
