hi ajithlal let me see maybe I would tell him the silly story about the woman who could not keep a boy friend although she was rich and very veryh beautiful. she sat all day and was waited on like royalty. So w hen her new boy friend came to visit her she asked him to bring her some grapes from the table nearby. the boyfriend awed by her beauty was only to glad to be of help. But then she leaned back on her chaise lounge and lazily said,"george dear peel me a grape."in the story each boyfriend flunked out as she was going a bit too far.So tell your friend if he wants people to like him he must not ask them to peel him a grape, but get up off his behind and get wo rking. Nobody is going to peel him any grapes.If he wants grapes peeled he must do it himself, if he wants to earn money, and buy things he likes or needs He has to work like all ther r est of us, not lie a rou nd asking someone to peel him a grap e.

There's no need for the lazyness I would tell him go to doctor to see why he's like that it could be his blood pres. that's making him tired. cd

I think it is okay not to work when a person is ill or because of medical condition. I think it is not good to work when the person is healthy and is just lazy in their life.

Encourage him or her to go out and seek a job.Emphasise the benefits of working and earning your own income and by refusing to allow that person to sponge off you.

To think about their future. What we do today can highly effect what happens to us tomorrow, after all, and we all basically want to have a good future.

I also think may be some talking will do some good. Most times these people does not want to work in their lives.

Fine if your friend does not believe in hardworking. But atleast he should work smartly! That is do more work in less time. When you are working, concentrate 100%. There is no use if you work for 10 hours and get distracted 10 times. It is important to work for money, satisfaction, self identity and security. Laziness will lead to failure! then lonliness, then depression and destruction! Some people learn through experience. Hopefully, your friend will soon face a situation where he misses something good because he was lazy and didnt work for it. Then he might realise the importance of hard work!
