Do You Take Responsibility for Your Actions?
As I sat here today working remotely, I happened to be looking out my dining room window when I saw someone back out of her driveway and hit a parked car. After a few second pause, the driver went on her merry way. 15 minutes later she came back, pulled into her garage and closed the door behind her. So I left a note on the victim’s door informing them as to what happened.
My question to you is, ‘Do you take responsibility for your actions’ at work or at home? The first instinct after making a mistake might be to try and hide the error, or run away from blame but we need to face up to our mistakes and be honest and ethical. I find that people are very understanding when you admit a mistake, rather than when they find out what really happened eventually.

Hi Will, I see this everyday myself…hit a car, screw a friend, cheat on your expenses, whatever you want to call it, this happens everyday in our society. Who can you trust in today’s world. I am hoping you can trust your family and friends, obviously you can’t trust your neighbour giving your story.
The world is a fun place

We tend to give trust freely… until it is lost. It is kind of a ‘respect’ thing, isn’t it?
