There’s a guy who I see most days taking his dog for a walk.
And when I say ‘taking his dog for a walk’ I actually mean it… he drives his dog to a small grassy area so the dog can have a quick run around, relieve itself and have a sniff of the spots other dogs have relieved themselves.
He doesn’t do anything other than lean against his car while his pooch entertains himself for five minutes.
The thing that really gets me is that the grassy area is less than a minutes’ walk away from his flat.
It really is.
I decided to check with Google and the distance from his flat to where he lets his dog run around is 0.1 miles and takes less than a minute to walk.
He throws the dog into his BMW and drives it around the corner to the grassy area.
Because of traffic in the area – the flat is above a shop on a busy main road and running parallel to that is another busy main road and both meet up at this grassy area – it could actually take him longer to drive to the area than it would if he walked.
I thought the whole idea of walking a dog was to actually walk it!
Not only do you exercise the animal, you get exercise yourself… which brings me onto my next point.
This chap could do with the exercise.
He is a little rotund… that is the polite way of saying it.
Now, it may be possible that he has an ‘invisible illness’ and is unable to walk far but it’s never stopped him walking to the pub with his pool cue when he fancied a few pints… although he does use taxis regularly.
The truth is this guy is lazy and I imagine that is why he is the size he is.
He likes his beer, he likes his takeaway food and he clearly likes to avoid doing anything that is remotely good for him… or anyone else.
I’m not one for shouting loud about environmental issues, but I try not to think about the emissions he is pumping out into the air when he takes his dog for a walk.
It’s not just a case of driving there and back; he leaves his engine running while he leans against the car watching fido do his doo doo.
He does this at least once a day.
The walk there and back would be good for him and it would take no more than a minute or two to do. As I say, knowing the traffic in the area, I would say he would be quicker walking.
It amazes me how lazy some people can be… it really does.
Yet ironically, by being lazy, a lot of people actually give themselves a lot more work and hassle in the future.
By becoming the size he is and by avoiding walking, he is setting himself up for serious health issues and further mobility issues which will make life far harder than walking for a couple of minutes each day.
I’m not sharing this story just to moan about this guy, it’s his life, he can do with it whatever he chooses… and as I say, I don’t know the full story… but I’ve been in the business of dealing with people long enough and have developed a fairly accurate sixth sense about people.
I can generally determine when someone is struggling through no fault of their own or whether they are simple lazy.
Being lazy is self destructive.
If people spent just a few minutes extra doing something, it could have huge benefits to them later on.
The sad thing is that a lot of people don’t. They avoid extra effort.
Over time, those small amounts of ‘extra effort’ we put in are amplified.
Walking for 5 minutes a day builds up strength and fitness over the course of a year.
Writing just one page a day becomes a book by the end of a year.
Writing one email or article a day becomes a resource full of useable content at the end of the year.
Investing a few pounds a day grows into a bigger pot over a year.
All of the above could change your life for the better… and all it took was doing one small thing each day.
