How to be a better person 做一个更好的人

Stop Making Excuses

停止找借口


When I first started my company in high school, I made excuses every time something went wrong.

当我高中第一次创建自己的公司时,一出现问题,我总是不自觉地找借口。

I would blame others, blame the customer, or anyone else involved. However, I would never blame myself for things that went wrong.

我责怪他人、抱怨客户或任何相关的人,但就是不觉得自己有问题。

Instead, I learned that taking accountability for your own mistakes is extremely important.

然后,我发现承认自己的错误非常重要。

I stopped making excuses, took the blame when it was truly my fault, and was able to achieve so much more.

因此我不再找借口,而是坦诚承认错误,这样一切反倒更加顺利。

By understanding that I made a mistake, I was able to use my mistakes to learn which in turn helped me become a better person.

通过意识到自己的错误,我学会吸取教训并成为一个更好的人。
