MOTIVATION ESSAY FOR STUDENTS AND CHILDREN

There is no such thing as laziness. We often use the word “lazy” as a broad umbrella term to describe someone who is unwilling to perform certain tasks or duties. What we then fail to acknowledge, however, are the actual reasons why someone is unwilling in the first place. We completely ignore the many facets and causes of behavior, and simply reduce a person to the label of “lazy;” as if laziness was an inherent part of their identity. And to make matters worse, we learned to attach shame and guilt to laziness, making us think less of the person we call “lazy” — whether this is other people or, more likely, ourselves.
