Duncan Nugget® #330: Blame Is Lame
Here's a cool little story about blame. Maybe you've heard it before.
"This is the story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody knew that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody, so Everybody blamed Somebody. And nothing got done."
Unfortunately, there was a time in my life when I blamed anything and anyone else, except for myself, for my lack of success. Not cool.
You cannot blame your way to success.
Personal responsibility is required and blame is the arch enemy of personal responsibility. Therefore, blame is lame.
Million-Dollar Question:
Do you choose blame or personal responsibility?
