My parents had always prepared for hurricanes. It is what people do in Florida because “you never know”. For us, that a white metal cabinet (储藏柜) in our utility room (杂用间) filled with cans of food. We could eat anything out of the cabinet because “you never know” when a hurricane will come.
As a kid, I was about the white cabinet. I thought it was kind of strange to have food in the utility room. But, one look from my mother me from opening the door to glance inside.
One year, Channel 4 reported that Hurricane Dora was for the northern part of Florida. Soon the storm got and the wind blew. Then, the tall pine trees started to sway. And, “sway”, I meant “ fall over or crash down on anything in their way”. We were lucky, as the went other directions and didn’t take our power out.
However, when my mother started cooking, the power was out. I calculated it was time to crack open that white cabinet. But, Dad thought it was time to up the charcoal grill(烧烤架 ) outside where it was raining and windy. To this day, I never a man’s love for his grill.
Our power came back for a while. So, my mother began cooking everything she could and it away, to the neighbors, to friends without power, to anyone with . I was hoping that the fried chicken was going to find its way to our . But, it didn’t. And, just as the last of the food was sent out and she began to work on our dinner, yes, we lost our . It was time for 20 minutes’ eggs on the grill.
Oh, the white metal cabinet. No. We never it. We weren’t “that bad off” as I understand it. And, for years I how bad off we would have to be to eat out of that cabinet. Perhaps it was just the of it, the thought that it was there watching our backs we wanted a can of beans or some potted meat. I don’t know if that was what was in there. Anyway, I never looked inside.

Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no to do anything. This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is themselves as someone who is lazy.
Lazy people are often seen as useless. , are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy? There is a huge difference between saying you are lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is while the other suggests that it’s permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy aren’t lazy; they are people who are temporarily acting that way.
So what causes a person to be inactive? The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough to do something, he will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do something. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the in studying. For example, if you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative it’s strong enough to induce(引起) action.
To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is to help him find enough to work towards a certain goal.
