26、How to be a more responsible person?
Responsibility doesn’t come at birth. It is something that is acquired as you age, go to school and progress in life. However, you can hear and see a lot of different things, both good and bad. 【1】 That’s why your sense of responsibility depends only on you. All of it depends on your own decision. Here are a few tips on how to improve your sense of responsibility.
【2】 If you make a mistake, admit it. Instead of making excuses, give the true reason why you failed. By coming up with an excuse, you actually admit to being irresponsible.
Stop complaining. Complainers are usually those who talk too much and do nothing. By always complaining about the world around you, you actually fill yourself with negativity. 【3】 Therefore, stop complaining!
Overcome postponement. The first step to success is to stop putting things off. Postponement will lead you nowhere. You’re responsible for your own future, so stop delaying now and start taking action on what truly matters. 【4】
Be consistent and stick to your schedule. Having a routine is good. 【5】 Try to wake up at the same time every day. Even on weekends, you could get up earlier instead of staying in bed until noon. This will give you some consistency. Plus, getting up early allows you to have more time for whatever you have to finish that day. Additionally, you should set a schedule for your work and personal tasks, and stick to it.
A.Actions speak louder than words.
B.Stop making excuses for yourself.
C.By being negative, you are suffering terribly.
D.You choose your own behavior, actions and words.
E.It means order and means you are on the right track.
F.The hours you wasted could have been used for better things.
G.Even though you never complain, you are obviously exhausted.
