Learn
to Give and Receive Compliments
Don't miss out on any opportunity to give
sincere compliments. Remember, the key word is sincerity. When others give you
a compliment, accept it graciously and gracefully with two words, "Thank
you." That is a sign of humility.
Accept Responsibility
We need to accept
responsibility for our behavior and our actions and insulate ourselves from
excuses. Don't be like the student who failed just because he didn't like the
teacher or the subject. Who is he hurting the most? We have to accept
responsibility and stop blaming others, then, and only then, will productivity
and quality of life improve.
Our privileges can be no greater than our
obligations. The protection of our rights can endure no longer than the
performance of our responsibilities. -John F. Kennedy
Excuses make the problem
worse than the problem itself.
We owe responsibility
- to self
- to family
- to work
- to society
- to the environment
We
can add to the greenery by planting trees, stopping soil erosion, preserving
natural beauty.
We cannot live as if we have another earth we can move to. On a
daily basis, we need to do something that makes this world a better place to
live. We are custodians for the future generations. If we do not behave responsibly,
how can future generations forgive us?
If the average life expectancy of a
person is 75 years and if you are 40 years old, you have 365 days x 35 years,
to live. Ask yourself this question: What are you going to do with this time?
When we accept or add responsibility, we make ourselves more valuable. Don't
we?
