Laziness Is A Lack Of Integrity

It's such a shame how Florin Hilbay -- who was once a shining example for poor people is but a laughingstock thanks to his lack of common sense. This got me to say "HUH?!" to the statement when he said at CNN Philippines the statement above. I mean, how can you say that laziness is not a lack of integrity?

How do we define integrity? It's defined by Global Leadership as the following:
When I look at the definition of integrity, it’s defined as a “concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions.” 
Let me call out the key words in this definition that are often missed. Consistency. honesty, and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions.

We think of integrity as good moral character. Is being lazy good moral character? No. If Maria Lourdes Sereno was lazy not to file her SALN then that goes against integrity. A lazy person doesn't have any real moral integrity. To be lazy means unwilling to work or do one's chores. Don't tell me that laziness is not any lack of moral integrity in any way. If Hilbay think it's not then he really has thrown away his once brilliant mind out of the window.

Besides, being lazy is not a mark of a good chief justice or any government position. We need hardworking not lazy people working in important places. If Sereno is lazy then it's only proper that she was voted out by the Supreme Court.
