Hayden corrected the text so I'll just address the question you have about the quote.



"Obsessed is a word that the lazy use to describe the dedicated."

Both words, "obsessed" and "dedicated" in this context share a meaning that is "committed to a task."

 

However, "obsessed" has a negative connotation, whereas "dedicated" has a positive connotation. The phrase roughly means that "lazy people do not understand what it means to be hardworking, so they dismiss the hardworking people as excessive perfectionists"

 

懶到連"用功"和"痴迷"都沒辦法分別
