A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame someone else. John Borrough
The evidence of a strong character is accepting and owning your failures, the consequences of them, and the lessons of them. In every failure there is something to be learned and if you try to place the blame for your failures on others then you are missing out on important life experiences. Own up and quit blame shifting! It's so unattractive to shift blame to others. Newsflash: If you think appearing perfect and without blame makes you appealing your thinking is faulty. *We* all know you aren't perfect, make mistakes, and can't accept personal responsibility for your mistakes so *we* all don't find you so attractive after all. However, if you would accept personal responsibility for your failures (which that is what mistakes are) then *we* might soften toward you. You only fail when you blame shift and try to place ownership on others. Otherwise you are just gathering up life experiences and growing in character, the same as the rest of us.
