CHAPTER Responsibility UP AND AWARE - 8

(Decision Making)

Quote Unquote

‘This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don’t wait.’

—Natalie Goldberg

Beginning:

In 2010, researcher Nathanael J Fast, of the University of Southern
California, found interesting and startling results in an experiment he
conducted. He learnt that people who make it a habit to blame others or
give excuses for their mistakes, become poor learners. Not only do they
not learn from their mistakes, so as not to repeat them the next time

around, but they also influence others around them to become blamers.
In other words, bad behaviour is contagious and spreads from one
person to another like the flu or a viral fever. No wonder it is said that a
person is known by the company he/she keeps!
