Responsibilities


You are responsible for your outcomes

Accepting responsibility for what happens to you is one of the most liberating things you can do. It is liberating because you understand that the power to change things, to achieve outcomes, rests in your hands and not someone else is. Unsuccessful people spend most of their time blaming outside events or people for negative results.

Put in more than you expect to get back

So many people think the reverse is true. “Tell me what I’ll get back and then I might put in the effort.” While this approach may seem logical, it almost always never works, especially in the long term. Rewards come from the least expected avenues. Predicting them is impossible. So why try?
Leverage your time

Most people don’t use their time wisely, and yet it is very valuable. How do you leverage time? By trying to get more than one benefit or result from as many time frames as possible. Clubwww1 gives the example of listening to educational podcasts on the way to work as better time usage, compared to listening to early morning radio.

Courageously ask questions

Most people are afraid of asking too many questions. Consequently, they work with assumed, apparent or false facts. Decisions made on these bases usually have poor outcomes. Don’t ever be afraid to question. And remember another rule: quite often the first answer you get to a difficult question is not the right answer.
