"20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the harbour. Catch the trade winds in you sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Secrets Of The Rich - Accountability

Basically means he makes himself accountable for all that has happened to him.

If he is poor, it's his fault. If he failed a project, he probably skipped something. If he did not win, he didn't do enough to deserve that win.

He doesn't blame the environment. Meaning, it's not the boss' fault that he has a low pay. It's not his teamate's fault if they lost the match. It's not the govenments fault that he is now a bankrupt.

Well, true, it's a little dangerous if you take it too far. You'd probably end up @ an mental institute. The real trick is to reframe it such that it isn't destructive and yet it will compel you to do better next time.

Fact is that too many of us blame everything and everyone else except for ourselves. That's not the problem. The problem is that when that happens, we think that everything is ok, and then make the same mistake again.

Not smart. I believe that to live non-constructively is a sin. So for those who are just browsing...just forget what I said ^^

For the rest of us who aspire to be something, let us just hope that we will not be destroyed because we refuse to take responsibility for our own actions, no matter how ugly the truth of it may be.

Godspeed ^^
