Charles Darwin Was Lazy and You Should Be Too
Laziness as a trait is okay. Laziness as an attitude isn’t
Let’s take a moment and look at the life of Sir Charles Darwin — one of the greatest minds of the 19th century, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.
That’s how you know Darwin. But what you don’t know is that as a child, Darwin was the laziest of them all at school. He was the kind who’d fall asleep right in the middle of a lesson.
His parents and teachers struggled a lot to get him proficient at Mathematics and Grammar. And before you get your hopes high, allow me to make it known that he wasn’t any better at sports either. Even in college, he would much rather spend his time in pubs than aim for the captain of the rugby team.
Contrary to the best-selling authors of today (no disrespect intended), Darwin didn’t publish a book every year. He took many to pen his work.
Interestingly, Darwin wasn’t the only one who was known to be lazy and yet made a name for himself that is very much alive to date. Winston Churchill, Newton, Mendeleev, Einstein, Picasso — there’s one thing that was common to all of them — laziness.
I’m not saying there’s a connection here. But, I mean, maybe?
