Bill Gates is often credited with the quote, “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” But it actually came from the engineer Frank B. Gilbreth Sr.
People are sharing real-life examples of this online and some of the stories are pretty impressive. Lazy people get a bad wrap a lot of the time. The trick is to not tell anyone you’ve figured out an easier way to do a job so it doesn’t backfire. Keep that to yourself so you can get paid to tell people on the internet about it like these lazy employees did.
