Even greater long-term problems result from blaming others for one’s own problems. Work is the process of overcoming problems along the road to achievement. Problems are an inherent part of work, and, thus, life. Problems are also continuous?they never end. A mistake some people make is blaming life’s problems on other people. This is destructive because as soon as a person blames others for his problems, he loses the power to successfully deal with the problems.

One also accomplishes nothing constructive doing this. It amounts to a waste of time, thought, energy, and opportunity. If others cause one’s problems, then they must be held accountable. But if one’s problems arise from one’s own defaults, one must deal with these problems responsibly?through one’s own effort. This means dismissing the mystical “easy way out” by blaming others. It also means exerting rational effort to solve one’s own problems?especially when one does not feel like it.
