Responsibility.
Learning to accept responsibility at an early age is critical to personal success
- An individual controls their own destiny
- Mistakes and bad decisions will be made. Accepting responsibility and learning from errors can stop them from happening again
- Excuses never lead to success; they lead to failure
- Blaming others for one’s problems provides a rationale for failure
- Learning to say ‘no’ despite peer pressure is a key to personal development
- Understanding and accepting the consequences of bad choices builds character
Taking personal responsibility influences every part of life
- Family and personal relationships
- School and academic performance
- Activities, be they sports or other activities
- Professional relationships and success at work
- Personal fulfillment
