When people accept additional responsibility they are actually giving themselves a promotion. Acceptance of responsibility is a reflection of our attitude and the environment we operate in. a person who does not accept responsibility is not absolved from being responsible. Winston Churchill has said “The price of greatness is responsibility”. Responsible behavior should be inculcated right from childhood.
Words spoken out of bitterness can cause irreparable damage. The way parents speak to their children in many instances shape their children’s destiny. Words can even hurt feelings and can destroy relationships. Choose what you say rather than say what you choose. Excessive talk does not mean communication. So talk less and say more.
Enthusiasm and success go hand in hand, but enthusiasm comes first. You can feel enthusiasm by the way a person talks, walks or shakes hands. Enthusiasm is a habit that one can acquire and practice. Water turns into steam with a difference of only one degree in temperature and steam can move some of the biggest engines in the world. That is what enthusiasm helps us to do in our lives.
Sincere appreciation is one of the greatest gifts, and they are apologies for shortcomings. Many times we buy gifts for people to compensate for not spending enough time with them. Real gifts are when you give a part of yourself. The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
