Lazy Day is celebrated
on August 10, 2015. It's a day to chill out and be lazy for a day - a
perfect chance for a hot summer day. Laziness (also called indolence) is
a disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to
do so. Related terms for a person seen to be lazy include couch potato,
slacker, and bludger.
Despite Sigmund Freud's discussion of the pleasure principle, Leonard Carmichael notes that "laziness is not a word that appears in the table of contents of most technical books on psychology... It is a guilty secret of modern psychology that more is understood about the motivation of thirsty rats and hungry pecking pigeons as they press levers or hit targets than is known about the way in which poets make themselves write poems or scientists force themselves into the laboratory when the good golfing days of spring arrive."
A 1931 survey found that high school students were more likely to attribute their failing performance to laziness, while teachers ranked "lack of ability" as the major cause, with laziness coming in second. (With material from: Wikipedia) The text Lazy Day has been taken from www.cute-calendar.com.
