Responsibility Rules Your Success
February 10, 2008 | 31 Comments

Do “bad things” happen in your life? I’m sure they do. What is your first reaction when they happen (hopefully not all at the same time)?
Complaining?
Blaming others?
Just take the responsibility and keep on going?
In one of the seminars I attended, (I can’t remember which seminar and who the speaker is) one of the speakers said something that made me ponder.
He said, in order to be a successful person, you must take the responsible for whatever things that happen to you. (Both good and bad)
Most people prefer to blame others because that’s the easier way to get out of troubles but on the other side of the coin, it keeps them from being a successful person.
Picture this. If a thief broke into someone’s house and when he (let’s assume that he’s a male) find that out, he gone mad, curse the thief, blame the policemen and the security guard.
Think of this for a moment. Will that help him at all? Yes, it probably makes him feel good but it would not help him to prevent the thief from breaking in for the second time in the future.
That’s what I mean of killing the success by not taking a proper responsibility.
Not only you should not blame others or push the responsibility to others but you should not feel bad of yourself too.
Why?
It’s because, that won’t solve the problem, help you to grow or accelerate you to success either.
In my mind, the right way is to take the responsible by identifying the problem and rectify it such as install a better alarm and security system.
That may be a smarter move to take. Why?
Because, if you take it as a lesson, you will learn more things and appear to be more mature.
On the other hand if you don’t blame others, you will be able to sustain the good relationship that you have put in a lot of effort to build.
That’s pretty much like to kill two birds with one stone.
Do you agree? Is there something else you want to add? Say it!
