The people around me have always been using the weather as an excuse not to accomplish the things they are supposed to be doing. It's almost as if the world actually stops when our shoes get wet. In the real world, our bills continue to pile up even during weeks of bad weather. This only means we shouldn't stop working because there are bills to pay and people are dependent on us. We should stop using the weather as an excuse not to be productive. In fact, just like when we are depressed, all the more we should strive to work harder.
