Lazy people are those who do not carry out certain tasks because of the efforts involved. Instead, they perform other tasks which are less demanding or simply stay idle. The tasks are such that do not seem to provide immediate gratification. The problem arises when lazy people are disinclined to trust a result which is uncertain.
