Truly successful people are the ones who help others cross the finish line. We try to teach children responsibility, and that's good. Making these sorts of mistakes teaches us judgment, and it helps toughen our backbone. Mature responsibility means realizing that no single person can be responsible for everything. You can't be successful if you are stumbling around trying to juggle the whole world on your shoulders.
Responsible people refuse to take shortcuts, even though they are almost always available.
They make sure that others with duties act responsibly, too. And they use whatever recognition or honor they may have earned not to further their own ends, but on behalf of good causes. Courage We tend to make courage too dramatic. Courage is often doing something simple, unpleasant, or boring again and again until we get itdown pat. People who are physically challenged and who have the determination to get around their handicaps are great examples because their courage makes them test their limits every day in a way that the rest of us write off as small-time or insignificant.
