Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

By sleeping dogs I mean people who have not been active in their life and have not achieved something for which they can be recognized. I believe its the moral duty of each individual to help such people by understanding them, the hidden talents in them, and to identify the reason for remaining inactive. It might happen that with a little of encouragement and support they can achieve something great in their lives.

In the short term it may look beneficial if we just let those who are idle to be so. For instance in a corporate if you find a colleague of yours to be dormant, it might think it to be beneficial within the team as they may not be a competitor for you in terms of appraisal and increment. You may even be appraised higher than your ability because of the comparative performance with someone whose is idle. This will lead to a false impression about your abilities. Thus when you switch jobs or move to other teams, you may find the situation to be different and difficult to cope with if the new team has active, diligent and prudent associates. Unlike the old team where you were considered to be the exemplar, the same may not be the case here as well. Now you may find yourself to be deprived or dejected when you do not get a good appraisal as your team mates are equally competent or even better than you. So it is always better to create a healthy and competent environment at work by encouraging our idle and dormant colleagues and setting a tough goal for ourself.

Hi!

Sleeping dogs are the people who are inactive by some reasons in their life, I think we should come closer them and try to understand about their reasons and problems for the same, Just try to motivate them with positive thoughts.

They needs our help to active in life.

So guys lets help them.

I want to say that Sleeping dogs refer to those kind of people which are inactive, lazy they do not want to do something in his life.

Instead of leaving them, we try to motivate, encourage and try bring out his hidden ideas. Because no one has empty mind, every one have some talent. When he/she will do something its betterment for family, society, and our country.

In my opinion when those persons who cannot do anything and also don't let them others to do by talking nonsense objections should not be give attention and do your own job according to you.

For example some political men nowadays put obligations to the other political parties and wants to gain trust of the people but we should be aware to choose the candidates according to us.

But whenever needed we should also try to stop the misdoing and claim our rights by taking appropriate action against sleeping management.

Conclusion : we should not be disturbed by others and should do our work with concentration.

To let sleeping dogs lie means 'To leave things as they are'. But we cannot let the things as they are because by the time our needs are changing, demand for things are increasing and cost of living a decent life is increasing, we have work more and make others who are bearing responsibility also work more. So we have to interfere.

As we know human have great tendency to exempt themselves from work. Every one want to get more and more output with less work input. Most of Politicians of our country are lazy and corrupt, they don't do work properly themselves and also don't let others do things right way and they often try to avoid investigation in their work by misusing their power. So we have to interfere and make them work honestly or remove them, 'we cannot let the sleeping dog just lie'.

Also in every organization, there is always a supervision on a person whether he is topmost or lowermost authority to make organization work efficiently and smoothly. So if you want to progress you have to interfere in most of the cases.

"We cannot let the sleeping dog just lie".

Let sleeping dogs lie, "let them sleep" unless they don't create Turbulence in our life and while we are talking about our inactive Politicians then don't let them sleep. A simple question arises out from the above statement, "How we bring the change in our country" now don't say guys by voting because either you give your vote or not winning politician do what they want to do but not according to you.

In India after independence still basic amenities are not fulfill by politician. Females are not safe in our country they do not move freely just because of the poor management of our government. Last but not the least India is not 24hrs and I feel pity, when I see other developed countries run their service sector 24*7*365 at night also.

According to me,

This statement "let sleeping dogs lie" means here sleeping dogs refers to those peoples who are inactive and lazy, who don't want to do any work. They wants to get more and more output in less input. But I think those people needs to motivation and opportunities. Less opportunities makes people inactive and leads to discouragement. So we should encourage those peoples and provides opportunities to those people it can change their entire life.

Well my dear friends, Sleeping dogs refer to common peoples who are lazy, who do not want to get themselves in any kind of work. Always let the sleeping dog lie. Always think let things happen itself. We all know which politician is corrupt. Who should be removed, but we hardly take any initiative to repair our constitution. We only know to dream. But only dreaming will not give the sweet fruit. We have to wake up. And should work together to mend our dream with our own hand. , We should stop letting the sleeping dog lie.

Friends, what I've noticed in this discussion forum is that most of us have taken the meaning of 'Let Sleeping Dogs Lie' literally!

This is an idiom which means 'avoiding interfering in a situation that is currently causing no problems but may well do so as a result of such interference. '.
