They probably don't have grandiose expectations ...and don't take anything for granted....even tomorrow.

So, they practice frugality and save part of their earnings... and can then, much easier, take advantage of an opportunity than if they are encumbered with debt.

They live in the present and are content to have their basic needs met -- and are not as materialistic.

They find joy in simple pleasures and are more easily satisfied.

Carpe Diem! They seize the day, and make each one count... and live it with purpose.

They aren't lazy! :-)
