Nowadays we call it laziness or idleness, and it’s just as much a part of human nature as greed. Only self-control can overcome urges like greed and sloth. High blood sugar also increases self-control, so drink something sweet anytime you feel your resolve weakening. Because people who have good self-control do better academically, are more socially competent, more self-reliant, and better able to cope with difficulties and frustration. Self-control also enables you to rise above your instincts, and is what makes human beings so different from animals.
