I share a “Thought of the Day” every day at 7:55am on the WI Morning News.
Due to popular demand, below is Thursday’s Thought of the Day.
Enjoy.
Act on your own initiative, be prepared to assume full responsibility for your acts.
One of the primary differences between those who achieve great things in their lives and those who manage only to “get by” is that successful people learned early in life that they were responsible for their own actions. No other person can make you successful or keep you from achieving your goals.
Taking the initiative means assuming a leadership role, a position that singles you out for praise – and for criticism. The good leader is one who shares the credit for success with others and assumes full responsibility for failures or temporary setbacks. When you accept responsibility for your actions, you gain the respect of others and are well on the way to creating your own future.
