Dispirited, unmotivated, unappreciated workers cannot compete in a highly competitive world.
To be honest, sometimes I get in my shell, and I don't want to do stuff, and sometimes I'm real active.
I think people in Europe are generally pessimistic about the future. They have low expectations; they're not working hard to change things. When you're a slacker with a pessimistic view of the future, you're likely to meet those expectations.
I never cared what kind of grade I got.
Depression is inertia.
I failed eighth grade twice, and then they moved me up to ninth grade. Then I failed that and dropped out. My teacher would hand me a test, and I'd grade it myself with an F, then put my head down on the desk.
I'm an unambitious politician.
... I went through a very lethargic period ... I was just sort of getting through every night and every day.
Say I Want to Feel Good when youre Tempted to Indulge in Low-Energy Thoughts
I'm not really a goal-oriented guy.
I was always ranked last in my class. My problem was that I would obtain a just pass and move on to the next class!
I don't work that hard.
Just a tiny bit of effort leaves me exhausted. Sometimes I just go up the stairs to my room, and I feel tired.
I haven't got the energy to write now.
Depression manifests itself in a lack of will.
I don't have sex drive... I have sex 'just sit in the car and hope someone gets in'.
I had a dog that was so lazy, he had a prerecorded bark.
I wasn't very ambitious as a child. I'm still not.
I said once that if they gave me enough money to read the phone book, I'd do it. I live in a total state of non-expectation. I don't expect things, and I keep my expectations very low about everything.
I do not expect to get what I want, so I don't. And I don't even try.
I was not much interested in school, and both at secondary school and at university, I only just scraped through, with as little effort as I judged possible without failing.
When I'm depressed is when I'm not interested in writing anything, whereas some people, I think, are spurred to creativity through their personal experiences and through depression. And for me, it's a very low place, and it's not fruitful.
I'm a lazy, lazy girl.
Me, coming from a low-income background, I really didn't take my studies serious as a young kid.
