Why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer - III

Whoot

Sorry for the long break before this post...wasn't inspired =p

Anyways...

The 3rd reason is - Accountability.

Basically means he makes himself accountable for all that has happened to him. If he is poor, it's his fault. If he failed a project, he probably skipped something. If he did not win, he didn't do enough to deserve that win.

He doesn't blame the environment. Meaning, it's not the boss' fault that he has a low pay. It's not his teamate's fault if they lost the match. It's not the govenments fault that he is now a bankrupt.

Well, true, it's a little dangerous if you take it too far. You'd probably end up @ woodbridge. The real trick is to reframe it such that it isn't destructive and yet it will compel you to do better next time.

Fact is that too many of us blame everything and everyone else except for ourselves. That's not the problem. The problem is that when that happens, we think that everything is ok, and then make the same mistake again. Not smart.

I believe that to live non-constructively is a sin.

So for those who are just browing...just forget what I said ^^

For the rest of us who aspire to be something, let us just hope that we will not be destroyed because we refuse to take responsibility for our own actions, no matter how ugly the truth of it may be.

Godspeed ^^

Part I
