It's a common theme in our series asking NCOs for their most important lessons learned in uniform: we rely on each other, as SGM John Challis shares here:
The
most important lesson I learned is that you don't make it anywhere without the
support and hard work of those who work for you. The Soldiers that you lead make
you successful due to their hard work and dedication to the mission
while on the job, and their discipline and decision making when they are off
duty.
While
leaders are typically the ones recognized for the results (i.e. training
exercise, successful range operations, Change of Command ceremony, combat
patrols, etc.), it is the Soldiers who really make the "mission" a
success or a failure.The NCO has to have the ability to motivate the
Soldier to want to do the right things, but in the end, it’s the Soldiers who make
it happen. Soldiers who feel like a part of the team and a part of a
professional unit (team, squad, platoon...) police one another and typically
make the right decision when faced with a tough decision (do I risk drinking
and driving since I have only had 3 beers, or do I make the phone
call). This is a testament to the NCOs ability to lead and build the
team, but also an example of how those around you are the key to your
success.
In
the end, don't forget where you came from and never forget those who got you
where you are today.

I think it is great that you see yourself as beautiful. Self-love means everything. But why label yourself as lazy? By labeling yourself lazy you will act in lazy ways. You are what you think. So you are beautiful and you are lazy, I do not know why you want to be lazy.
