I am agree with Mr Usman because no body want his self to become sleeping dog. Continues failure and lack of motivation can make every person sleeping dog, that's why instead of criticize that people, The persons who are more active they can help them. No one can be whole life sleeping dog. Even it my be after facing situation like this sleeping dogs became more active due to some motivation.

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, if sleeping dogs have some talent, then they should go to that particular field where they can show off their talent. Why sleeping!Tragedies, failures, unhappiness and sorrows are the inseperable part of lives. Once you come out to face the challenges of the world, these things are surely going to be their. It doesnt mean that you should become a sleeping dog. Morever its the resposibility of a person to be practical and moved on. According to me people in world discourage more than encouraging.

We should not let the sleeping dog lie. A sleeping dog can also guard us with what is wrong or right if he is experienced.

Ex:- If we are going somewhere and there is a guard dog on our way and he is sleeping, 90% of us will not awake him because we know that he can cause some trouble to us. But what if he is protecting us from going on that path because there is some danger there. If we let that dog sleep then later we can met up with that danger.

So it's good to listen to those who we think can cause trouble to us, may be they give us some good advice.

Hello everyone.

Let the sleeping dog lie says that if the situation is calm down then down let it catch the fire again. For example if I was late for the office and my boss was angry and if he says nothing then let the matter be closed.

I think all the disputes between two people if not growing and its at the stage of fading then one should not go and provoke it to make it fresh.

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.

In my opinion sleeping dogs refer to those personalities who are lazy in doing any work, who postpone each and every opportunity (which indeed requires hard work) of their life so that they can pass some more moments of their life effortlessly. So in my view, we should help them to understand, what they are doing and what are its consequences. Rest depends on them. !
