How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.

【推荐1】How to Survive a Human Stampede (踩踏)
In 2010, a tragic human stampede occurred during a festival in Phnom Penh. When thousands attempted to cross a bridge, it began to sway (摇摆), panic set in, and a rush to get off the bridge began. 347 people died in the rush.
What happened in Phnom Penh is an extreme example.
☆
The best way to survive a human stampede is to evaluate your surroundings long before the stampede begins. For example, if you’re attending a large event, make sure you know where all the available exits are. In addition to identifying exit doors, be aware of alternative exits, like accessible windows.
☆Keep moving
Resisting the force of the crowd will only tire you out and conserving energy is critical to surviving a stampede.
☆Avoid choke points
Choke points are any space that restricts the flow of the stampede. Doorways, hallways, and bridges are all examples. While those narrow spaces lead to exits, they also represent the most dangerous places in a stampede.
☆Look for non-obvious exits
