Do you know which country has the laziest people in the world?

“My favorite thing is laziness,” said poet Helal Hafiz in an interview. Even though he said it as a joke, this is true for many people. Bengalis especially enjoy being laziest. There is even a word in the Bengali dictionary called “Pipufishu,” which stands for “Pith Purche Fire Shui,” meaning someone extremely lazy.

The story goes that a king wanted to reward the laziest person in his kingdom. Many lazy people came. They were all put in a hut, and the hut was set on fire. While others ran away, three people stayed. When the heat touched the first person, he said, “How bright the sun is.”

The second person was too lazy to even open his eyes and said, “Who will open their eyes?” And the third person? He was too lazy to say a full sentence, so he just said, “Pipufishu,” but didn’t even turn around to sleep again. It’s not just Bengalis; people from Indonesia, Kuwait, and Montenegro are also known for being lazy. According to a study in Nature magazine, Indonesia has the laziest people in the world.

In Montenegro, a competition has been held for 12 years to find the “laziest citizen.” Last year, two young locals, Filip Nezevich and Lidija Markovich, broke all records by lying down for 50 days straight and won the championship.

Lazy people are often looked down upon by hard workers. But lazy people can defend themselves with a quote from English poet and playwright Oscar Wilde. He said, “Doing nothing is the hardest work in the world.

The most difficult and the most intellectual.” This means that smart people are a bit lazy. This isn’t just a saying; there’s scientific proof. Research shows that laziness is a sign of high intelligence. These people have a high IQ. A study published in the Journal of Health Psychology in 2015 found that physically less active, or lazy, people are smarter than others.

They are often more clever, successful, and better workers. Some even say that laziness is the key to creativity. Take English writer Agatha Christie, for example. She said, “I don’t think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness.”

At this point, Bill Gates’ quote is also worth remembering: “I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.

The idea that we need to work hard to succeed has been put into our minds, but it actually weakens our intellectual abilities.

A beautiful explanation of this can be found in the book The Right to be Lazy. This book, titled ‘The Right to be Lazy,’ was written by Paul Lafargue, the son-in-law of Karl Marx. It was published in 1883.

Today is August 10, Lazy Day. When did this day start, and how? Well, there’s no need to work hard to find that out. Instead, let’s just enjoy being a little lazy.
