when it come to excuses, the world is full of great inventors. failures are experts at making excuses. there are always enough excuses available if you are weak enough to use them. Mistakes have hidden power to help us, but they fail in their mission of helping us when we blame them on other people. when you use excuses you give up your power to change and improve. so never mind whom you praise, but be careful whom you blame @Edmond Gosse. you can fall down many times, but you won't be a failure until you say that someone else pushed you.
so, find a way, not an excuse. never complain and never explain. Admitting errors clears the score and proves you wiser than before @Arthur Guiterman. doing a job right is always easier than fabricating an alibis for why you didn't. you waste time and creative energies thinking up excuses. Nearly all failure come from people who have the habit of making excuses. the book of proverbs says, "WORK BRINGS PROFIT", TALK BRINGS POVERTY". if you are good at making excuses, it's hard to excel at anything else.
so therefore, i say to you all my fellow steemians and i encourage you all today, if you have been living a life full of excuses, stand up, be bold and drop the habit of excuses.
