We are taxed twice for our idleness
The author sees it wrong to be lazy, any minute a person feels it should fight with it, and never let come to one’s mind. Franklin advises to control yourself and keep going in spite of any laziness attack. We all have bad days, or bad temper, nevertheless this is not the reason to get down and stop going further and further. And the author tries to make it clear in an ironic way that laziness is the first enemy inside.
Lost time is never found again
Always look back to understand if you are using your time in a proper way. Franklin teaches that time is never enough, and we should only use it with purpose, otherwise laziness overtakes us, and the business is driving slowly, and makes our mind unclear. Franklin advises to go to bed early, to rise early, and all the rest of the time to use the energy for prospering. And the author's satiric way clears out how many things can be done if not to lost time in vain.
Troubles springs from idleness
Really, most of the troubles start from ourselves. All the problems can be solved if they are noticed in time. But with our laziness we can become inattentive and lose a lot of chances making pretty simple mistakes. The author cynically compares idleness to hard work. How many goals could possibly be reached instead of sitting and making problems out of nowhere. Everyone should notice that when there is nothing to do bad thoughts are coming to one`s mind, and only during working process the truth comes.
