He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. Benjamin Franklin
We've got a problem. We really don't like to take personal responsibility and we make excuses to make sure that we don't take responsibility. And what happens is we become good-for-nothings. That's right I said it, now deal with it. When we try to excuse everything away we prove ourselves to be untrustworthy, insincere, immature, and lacking in character. When the only excuse you can find is you then own up and deal with the fall-out. Even if the excuse isn't you but isn't right take some responsibility and deal with it in a mature fashion. A person who lives their life blame shifting and excusing themselves away is a drain on their families, relationships, workplaces, etc. Don't be a drain!
