The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on. ~ Robert Bloch [Source]

A text message was sent asking for the available time and an activity to be done outside. The reply was positive and nothing else was communicated until a few hours later you wonder when the person didn’t arrive. You start to question why the person didn’t make the effort to go to your place so that you can do other things first before the agreed activity.
- Why wasn’t there a second confirmation from the person?
- Why didn’t the person bother to take the initiative?
- How can the person do that to you?
It’s so much easier to blame others when things go wrong. Who is the one in the wrong? The woman who passed the food? The snake? Or someone else? Do the following feel like an outrage?
- U.S. Managers Too Quick to Blame Others
- The Tendency to Blame Others
- Kayne West Continues to Blame Others
- Carswell Tries to Blame Others for Mistakes
So, why is it so much easier to blame others? Most of the time, the main reason is to shirk responsibility. Take the loss of the stocks for example. When a trade is lost, what would a trader do? A professional trade will take the blame and see what went wrong.
Have you been the one being blamed or the one blaming others?
