According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

The truth that is spoken in the bee movie

Person 1: Tell me the truth already!
Person 2: Fine! Ahem... According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

avolition

Avolition is the reduction, difficulty, or inability to initiate and persist in goal-directed behavior; it is often mistaken for apparent disinterest.

(examples of avolition include: no longer interested in going out and meeting with friends, no longer interested in activities that the person used to show enthusiasm for, no longer interested in much of anything, sitting in the house for many hours a day doing nothing.)

Vocational Cattle

Your co-workers that do absolutely NOTHING, and have no qualm about YOU doing their job.

Often filler for over inflated companies with too many employees.

Any given company suffers the 80/20 Rule. 20% of the people do 80% of the work. The rest are Vocational Cattle.
