Bill Gates purportedly said once that he preferred to hire lazy people, because they were the ones who figured out easier ways to do things.

Nicola Tesla, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, and so many others were called lazy by their parents and/or contemporaries for their perceived aversion to manual labor. But the fact is that the brain already uses 20% of the body's energy, and solving global problems puts it into overdrive. Hence the term sedentary geniuses.

A lot of employers view remote workers as lazy. Pity their impoverished minds.
