How many times have we been fed sorry and repetitive excuses for bad or delayed results? All too often, people paint themselves as victims; blaming other people or the circumstances around them for their problems or failures. Though some say that they know their responsibilities and the repercussions of their own actions, many of us know that this is simply lip-service.
