Idleness means aversion to do hard labor. An idle man can never rise in life. Some people think that success of life depends on luck. They stand at the foot of a hill and gaze at the sky. They do nothing. Yet, they dream to climb at the top of the hill. It is an utter foolishness.

The highly developed countries of the world came to the position of power and money because their men and women were never idle. One may say that the rich people are idle. This does not justify that idleness is not a hurdle to achievement.
