Have you ever thought, "I definitely could have been born in an earlier time."? I'll answer that question for you. OF COURSE YOU HAVE! Everyone has. But, are we being honest with ourselves? Think about it... Nowadays, we have:
-Cellphones
-Toilet Paper
-Internet
-Deodorant
-Television
-Computers
-Shampoo
-Facebook
-Hot Water
-Sliced Bread
-Showers
-Soap
-Dishwashers
-Hospitals
-Hair Products
-Microwaves
-Washers and Dryers
-Toilets
-Air Conditioning
-Refrigerators and Freezers
-Tweezers
-Radio
-Razors
-Antibiotics
-Equality
-Vehicles
-The option to brush our teeth...
-Etc.
I think you get my point. We've become spoiled to our generation. For some, if they were inadvertently thrust back in time by some kind of failed NASA experiment, they would adjust quickly to the environment. As for the rest of us... Probably not so much.
I've always said that if I were to go back in time to say... the twenties, I would fit in no problem. I would enjoy myself immensely. People have even told me that I look like I could be from the early nineteen hundreds. If I went back in time with no way to come back to the future, I think I might die. Literally. I would probably get shot by someone in a gang, or ingest dirty water and get some kind of infection that my immune system has never been trained to fight off and/or I would surely die of tuberculosis (which was very common back then).
I wouldn't be upper class either. Not even upper-middle class. I wouldn't even be middle class. It would be my luck that I would be out on the streets trying to get people to give me bread. (Maybe not that far...)
Then AGAIN! I have information from the future. My very existence would create a ripple effect in history anyways.. I might as well make it a drastic one, right? I'll invent the traffic light! The Stop sign! Other things! Then I will be know as the smartest woman in History! Either that, or men will just take my ideas and roll with them... Although, they weren't my ideas in the first place, so I wouldn't really have the right to complain.
ANYways... If you went back in time, what era do you think you would be able to adapt to in the easiest possible way? Do you think you would be able to live a long and happy life in that era? Do you think I forgot anything in my list? Comment below and like my post. Thanks. (:

Thrust Back In Time! Could You Handle The Truth?!

Laziness
Remember when you were a little kid and your mom told you to clean your room, but instead you shoved every bit of the mess into the closet? If you've never done that, you were either the perfect child, or your mom cleaned your room for you. If you have, well, we have something to talk about. It's called, 'laziness'.
I'm not going to say I'm a lazy person, though...I probably am. I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to do unpleasant things (Aren't we all?). If I want to read a book and my mom wants me to clean my room, I hurriedly, throw everything on my floor in the laundry and get back to my book. That's just how things go.
Now, I'm not a lazy worker. If I'm working my motivation is my environment, though some would think it was the pay check. Nope. If my mom offered me money to clean the entire house, I would insist she help me (Only because I know she'd do a lot more than I would).
Lazy people lack motivation. Sure you could give them a reason to do something, but, does it motivate them? No. It only stresses them out. You might think stress would provoke them to get active, but you're wrong. Stress only makes things less pleasant, and as I said before, no one likes to do unpleasant things.
Regular people will do those things regardless, but lazy people will find more excuses not to do them, or will do them less than half-hearted-ly.
I'm not an extremely lazy person. If something has to be done specifically by me, or no one else will do it, and I know it has to be done, I will do it. That is my motivation.
