Reality 101: Take Responsibility For Your Life

You're not a victim unless you make yourself a victim.  Personal responsibility is the key to success, that and the initiative to pick yourself up and try again.  My mom used to say that success comes to those who work at it.  G.K. Chesterton said, "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."  Don't quit because you're not successful the first time.  Pick yourself up and get back to work.
