Essentially, I grew up as a beach bum in Hawaii.
I was as lazy and laid back as they come.
This wasn't all bad, of course. Lazy people are often able to find the most efficient path to productivity with minimal effort. Somehow I made first chair, first trumpet in the Hawaii all state band as a senior in high school without practicing very much. "I'm lazy," said Nobel Peace prize laureate Lech Walesa. "But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things." Just look at my beginning Greek grammar. No frills. No unnecessarily lengthy explanations. Far from a fatal flaw, succinctness can be beneficial.
Teachers like me who are prone to laziness tend to avoid unnecessary tasks. Instead, students will perform high-level tasks with minimum input and maximum output. A bit of lazy time today can lead to a more productive time tomorrow!
