ried　chicken。　He　was　turned　down　1；009　times　before　someone　said　〃yes。〃　And　he　went　on　to　bee　a

multimillionaire　at　an　age　when　most　people　are　quitting。 〃He　was　a　brave　and　tenacious　man；〃　rich　dad　said　of　Harlan　Sanders。

So　when　you're　in　doubt　and　feeling　a　little　afraid；　just　do　what　Col。　Sanders　did　to　his　little　chicken。　He　fried　it。

Reason　No。　3。　Laziness。　Busy　people　are　often　the　most　lazy。　We　have　all　heard　stories　of　a　businessman　who　works　hard　to　earn　money。　He　works　hard　to　be　a　good　provider　for　his　wife　and　children。　He　spends　long　hours　at　the　office　and　brings　work　home　on　weekends。　One　day　he　es　home　to　an　empty　house。　His　wife　has　left　with　the　kids。　He　knew　he　and　his　wife　had　problems；　but　rather　than　work　to　make　the　relationship　strong；　he　stayed　busy　at　work。　Dismayed；　his performance　at　work　slips　and　he　loses　his　job。

Today；　I　often　meet　people　who　are　too　busy　to　take　care　of　their　wealth。　And　there　are　people　too　busy　to　take　care　of　their　health。　The　cause　is　the　same。　They're　busy；　and　they　stay　busy　as　a　way　of　avoiding　something　they　do　not　want　to　face。　Nobody　has　to　tell　them。 Deep　down　they　know。　In　fact；　if　you　remind　them；　they　often　respond　with　anger　or　irritation。

If　they　aren't　busy　at　work　or　with　the　kids；　they're　often　busy　watching　TV；　fishing；　playing　golf　or　shopping。　Yet；　deep　down　they　know　they　are　avoiding　something　important。 That's　the　most　mon　form　of　laziness。　Laziness　by　staying　busy。

So　what　is　the　cure　for　laziness？　The　answer　is　a　little　greed。

For　many　of　us；　we　were　raised　thinking　of　greed　or　desire　as　bad。　〃Greedy　people　are　bad　people；〃　my　mom　use　to　say。　Yet；　we　all　have　inside　of　us　this　yearning　to　have　nice　things；　new　things　or　exciting　things。
