RE: Saying something: Part Seventeen - Responsibility

in Reflections7 months ago

Taking responsibility is what differentiate from a kid to a mature person, an adult who never takes any responsibility is not mature, is still a child. You are responsible for yourself, to sustain yourself, to keep a good feeling on others... I always taken my responsibilities when needed and now that I've got a kid I've become kinda overwhelmed because he is my full responsibility, to take care, keep healthy, educate and make the best choices possible for him

Sort:  

Has failure to take responsibility ever cost you? Caused you trouble I mean.

I remember one episode, when I was at high school, the prof did the interrogation, no one in 25 was ready, only me... But when she asked I said I wasn't ready, I didn't take the responsibility of my efforts, not of something I did wrong but of something I did well, of being the only one ready... And the trouble was a 4 mark (4/10) like the whole class and it took a while to get a decent average score (6 minimum to get promoted)

That's a good example, you conformed rather than take the responsibility for yourself. I think a lot of people defer to conformity these days as it feels comfortable, although I think greatness comes from individuality.

Yeah, people (even more teens) search approval from the group and being part of it, hence conformity becomes the must, on modern times even more than in the past decades
