People are not lazy. They only get stunned when confronted with opposing powers that block their creative force. Last week I found myself unmotivated and dull, strolling pointlessly over Netflix series and social media, while important work was waiting right across from me, staring back critically as I was wasting my time away. “We all need a break,” I said…
Imagine that you wake up in the morning preparing for your work. You have your usual breakfast while reading the newspaper and drive up to the office that you get to do your daily job-JiuJitsu.
