The average American is I don't know if I would say lazy, but maybe not ambitious or as stimulated as one might think an American should be. We rely on technology to get us through our day. The thought of exercise is a horrid idea for a lot of Americans. If you want a quick answer take a quick look at the obesity in America it's a shame how fat and lazy one nation has become.

The commercials and advertisements are very good at luring us into their greasy fattening un nutritional food. We vanquish and cant resist the indulgence often times many Americans aren't really that hungry, but they still eat away just because of boredom or maybe even depression. It's is a funny and kind of ironic when you see an obese person at the buffet and they have like three plates full of food and even a couple of sugar rich deserts ask for a diet soda.

Even Americans dogs are overweight and lazy. They are overfed and don't get enough exercise, because guess what they aren't going to get walked or go to the dog park because the owner is too lazy. The same goes for not all but most fat kids. Again not in all cases, but in a lot of instances if the parents are fat the kids may be fat.

Is it just lazy or being innovative in the way that we are always trying to find a way to make life easier, and make things easier to do. That is one of the many reasons why I do believe that many countries envy Americans so much, because we take advantage of all that we are blessed with. It is a shame when you see an American settle for an average minimum wage job. There is no excuse absolutely no excuse for someone born in America to not take the opportunity to prosper and become someone in life. It's sad to see so many people live without ambition.

It's almost like if they have no hopes and dreams, or somewhere along the way they gave up on themselves and chose the easy way out the lazy way. What's the point of living with no hopes and dreams no inspiration you might as well be a walking zombie. People that let themselves go and find excuses are in the same boat one should live to better themselves and if you better yourself then everything else will come in to a better happier life, family, friends, work, and health.

Never settle for less than average, then again never settle for average, one must rise against all odds and become someone laziness is unacceptable in the pursuit of success.
