“I will always hire a lazy person to do a hard job, because they will always find an easy way to do it.” -Bill Gates.

I chose this quote because I found it very interesting how one of the richest people in the world would choose a lazy person over a hard-working one. The choice to hire a lazy person is not what the normal employer looks for on a resume. Employers often look for hard-working and dedicated individuals because they believe that hard-working people would get the job done. Bill Gates, on the other hand, hires lazy people to do hard jobs because they are more creative with their ideas and would find a more simple way to do a job.

I think this is part of what differentiates an average employer from a billionaire. Billionaires look outside of the box for hiring options because of their creative reasoning behind them that nobody else thinks of. Employers just hire people based on the normal qualifications that everyone else is looking for while someone like Bill Gates would find people that would not usually be hired because they have some qualities that are “weak,” such as laziness. Bill Gates would use that exact quality in a way that nobody else would think of. Creativities, that’s what separates billionaires from average people.
