I am not LAZY…I Just like Working on My Own Pace

I have a tendency to decide my pace, that is the speed and way I do my tasks which normally do not match with the people around me. Now, if I do not feel like getting up early or staying on bed with a book on a holiday...Does that mean I am, Lazy? No, at least not as per my dictionary, it is not my fault that the rest of the world’s definitions do not match mine. I think it is about my moods…. But still it confuses me why do people call me lazy?

Just to give you all a few instances: I always got up later than my parents wished(& I still do the same) but then also never managed to miss my school(huh) , I did not study for exams(like crazy during prep. leaves)….but still scored well, I never did holiday homework( Holidays are for enjoying) but was never caught, if I did not do any homework, the teacher would be absent the next day…..that’s about my school life…Now do the above label me a lazy (as I have been called so since School days)…..Pause & Think. Be a little flexible and do not pass hasty judgment.

Okay , let me be a little accommodating, I can sleep any time during the day and if on a Sunday I get up before 10(in the morning not night) or do not sleep after lunch …..the coming week seems too long. And, this just implies that I take care of my sleeping habits. Even the doctors recommend 8-9 hours of sleep. We can work on a timeline in our professional life but how can you run your life based on a timetable fixed, not by you but, by expectations of people. I believe that “ If there is something you really want to do you would find time for it , else there is always an excuse. " This means,that the priority of the task depends on whether you want to do it or not and also when do you want to do it. And, as I am an advocate of conserving Energy, if there is something I do not want to do right now, I would never waste energy on it (As it is World is facing energy crisis). Aha! So I hope, now you are thinking my way (Well , maybe a little).

I just do not feel like making an effort to do something that is not important in life at present – like cleaning my almirah, setting my room, learning to cook, going for a walk, going through the contents of my table drawers etc.(it is a long list so won’t bore you with it). But I always find time to read a book, chat with a friend, sleep, and now a days, write a blog. (And trust me it is not an easy task). So as I love myself (Tip: Start loving yourself and then expect others to follow), I think I am quite talented as I can prioritise my tasks but people do not appreciate this talent.(And I can't understand, why?) Some mischievous person started off the rumour that I am LAZY and I think people who do not like me much(and there are many of them) fuelled it. You know putting ghee in the aag.

I hope this blog quashes the rumours and make people recognize my talents! (As I do) ...
