Do you often postpone the work that you know you should do?

Or maybe you just wish that somebody else

If you answered yes to any of those questions

then the world has probably told you that you are lazy

or that you're a procrastinator who lacks motivation.

At least, this is what I was personally told.

I bought into their BS and I labeled myself

never achieve any great academic success,

of getting mediocre grades and putting in mediocre effort

But one day I was presented with the opportunity

and nothing ever remotely related to school

And I started to imagine myself laying on the beach in Italy

or going to a party in the Czech Republic.

that I wanted to study abroad in Lisbon, Portugal

because it had everything that I had wanted.

In my mind going to Lisbon was going to be the thing

that would make all my academic struggles worthwhile.

At that time it was the most important thing in my life.

But when I was talking to one of my professors

I learned that Portugal was the number one

most popular choice among all the students,

so there was going to be some competition.

And then I learned that my university chooses

And then I learned that only four students

which meant that if I wanted to go to Portugal

going against all the other kids who had dedicated

So the next day I started to study really, really hard,

way more than I ever had in my entire life.

I can still remember walking through the library

and we would just make eye contact with each other

and we would just have this intensity in our eyes

As the semester went on my grades got higher and higher

and my social life became more and more nonexistent.

But one morning near the end of my semester

my mom said something to me that was really interesting.

She said, "I have never seen you work this hard in school.

"Maybe you aren't a procrastinator after all."

no teacher, no student or parent would say that I was lazy.

In fact, they would say that I'm a really hard worker

But in the previous semester, just five months ago,

those same people would all say that I was a procrastinator

The truth is, is that no human being is just one thing.

Nobody here is 100% lazy or 100% not lazy.

I first really understood this idea back in the 10th grade

where I would do anything to procrastinate doing my homework

But I would put everything on hold in order

to play a computer game called StarCraft II,

which is actually a national sport in South Korea.

I would practice my skills, practice different strategies,

one of the top 200 players in North America.

that when it came to school I was really lazy

but when it came to gaming I was the opposite.

So the question, how do I stop being lazy

isn't actually a great question to ask yourself.

A much better question would be why am I feeling lazy?

and why probably most of you are feeling lazy

is because we were all doing the wrong thing.
