I was at the store today and (It saddens me to say) I just saw a bunch of people beat down by life. My question is this...
Would you agree that it's human nature to just do the bare minimum to survive or have other simple needs? I'm not talking about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but are most of us inherently lazy? I read somewhere that most of history people really didn't work anywhere near as much as we in the US do now. Furthermore they hated to work - period...
Perhaps becoming successful is not so far out but bucking the trends of laziness, undisciplined, lack of courage, fear of failure etc. Does success come because it's easier to be lazy, etc and most just give up trying and settle, thus separating you from the pack??
Any thoughts?
