Successful life - A POSITIVE PERSONALITY

 

Successful life -  A POSITIVE PERSONALITY

That's a great insight! Responsible behavior is key to personal and professional growth. Accepting accountability not only builds trust but also demonstrates maturity, leadership, and integrity.

When people accept additional responsibility they are actually giving themselves a promotion. Responsible behavior is to accept accountability and that represents maturity. Acceptance of responsibility is a reflection of our attitude and the environment we operate in. Most people are quick to take credit for what goes right but very few would accept responsibility when things go wrong. That's a powerful observation! Taking responsibility, especially in difficult situations, is a sign of true leadership and maturity. It separates those who genuinely strive for success from those who only seek recognition.

Our objective is to cultivate responsible behavior. Responsible behavior should be inculcated right from childhood. It cannot be taught without a certain degree of obedience.

People who don't accept responsibility shift the blame to their parents, teachers, genes, God, fate, luck or the stars. Ancient Indian wisdom teaches us that our first responsibility is to the community, second to our family and third to ourself. A society starts degenerating when this order is reversed. Social responsibility ought to be the moral obligation of every citizen. Responsibility and freedom go hand in hand. A sign of a good citizen is that he is willing to pull his own weight. A person who says what he likes usually ends up hearing what he doesn't like. Be tactful. Tact consists of choosing one's words carefully and knowing how far to go. It also means knowing what to say and what to leave unsaid. Talent without tact may not always be desirable. Words reflect attitude. Words can hurt feelings and destroy relationships. More people have been hurt by an improper choice of words than by any natural disaster. Choose what you say rather than say what you choose. That is the difference between wisdom and foolishness. Criticize with a spirit of helpfulness rather than as a putdown. Offer solutions in your criticism. Criticize the behavior, not the person, because when we criticize the person, we hurt their self esteem. The right to criticize comes with the desire to help. As long as the act of criticizing does not give pleasure to the giver, it is okay. When giving criticism becomes a pleasure, it is time to stop.

That’s a profound truth! Appreciation and recognition are fundamental to human motivation and well-being. Feeling valued boosts confidence, strengthens relationships, and encourages productivity, while the absence of appreciation can lead to disengagement and frustration.
