Dispirited, unmotivated, unappreciated workers cannot compete in a highly competitive world.
To be honest, sometimes I get in my shell, and I don't want to do stuff, and sometimes I'm real active.
I think people in Europe are generally pessimistic about the future. They have low expectations; they're not working hard to change things. When you're a slacker with a pessimistic view of the future, you're likely to meet those expectations.
I never cared what kind of grade I got.

Say I Want to Feel Good when youre Tempted to Indulge in Low-Energy Thoughts
I failed eighth grade twice, and then they moved me up to ninth grade. Then I failed that and dropped out. My teacher would hand me a test, and I'd grade it myself with an F, then put my head down on the desk.

... I went through a very lethargic period ... I was just sort of getting through every night and every day.
I'm not really a goal-oriented guy.
I don't work that hard.

When I'm depressed is when I'm not interested in writing anything, whereas some people, I think, are spurred to creativity through their personal experiences and through depression. And for me, it's a very low place, and it's not fruitful.
I do not expect to get what I want, so I don't. And I don't even try.
My Get Up and Go Has Not Got Up and Went!
Once you get depressed, you don't really feel like doing anything. You're kind of discouraged about yourself, and then the weight gain, too, or that makes me more depressed.
I'm a lazy, lazy girl.
