These are the 6 pillars every person should have. Well, I am not saying this as If I possessed all these factors. I do have my good and bad. However, I firmly believe that I am a responsible person. I will answer for things I did and I won’t run away from it. It makes my life easier as I do not have to feel guilty or having regrets. I hate to have bad feelings. Mom has always taught me how to be a RESPONSIBLE person when I was a kid. She told me firmly “If you are irresponsible, that proves you are a coward person. Be brave in anything you do in life. You must not run away from it.” Till now, every little thing I do or I want to do, be it emotionally or rationally, I have been accountable to most of it, answer and act to it. I have never leave it lying; unsolved. I Hate someone who is Irresponsible. I Love strong and brave person. Be it man or woman, young or old.

A person who does as promised can be considered as reliable. Reliability is an admirable characteristic. People don’t like to deal with those who are unreliable. They’d rather give their business and rewards to the person they can count on. Also, the reliable person feels good knowing that he or she is trusted. A responsible person is one who is able to act without guidance or supervision, because he or she is accountable and answerable for his or her behavior. Such a person can be trusted or depended upon to do things on his or her own. Such a person will follow though on obligations. Being a responsible person means you have good character.

A person who has a reputation of being responsible is trusted to do things on his or her own, without supervision. In simpler term, initiative. Small children are often irresponsible. They need someone to watch over them, otherwise they may do things that they shouldn’t do. The reason is because they are immature and often controlled by impulses.

Why it is important to behave responsibly?

I belief everyone knows the answer to this. Sadly, many people chose to ignore it. They are aware of the consequences being responsible or irresponsible. People appreciate if one knows how to be responsible. Put yourself in their shoes. What if this thing happen to you? Will you like it? Will it affect you? Or Will it affect more than one? How do someone being in the world affects everything and everyone? Being irresponsible result unhappiness. Observe, think and learn from people’s mistakes, on how irresponsible behavior can damage their relationships with others. That being a responsible person results in better friendships and a better environment.

The alternative is to operate as though you are ‘victim‘. For the purpose of this discussion ‘victim’ is a frame of mind that can accompany the events in our life, where we experience the events as ‘happening to us’. Victim is a state of mind that events are filtered through, generating the corresponding emotions of resentment, helplessness, blame, or fault. From the mind-set of victim we are operating as though we are not the source of our experience. It appears that life is happening to us and thus is causing us to think, feel, and act in specific and limited ways. We say, “There was nothing else I could do.” And it truly appears this way.

Is that too subtle? You are the responsible agent in your life, period. You feel something and then assign the feeling to some outside condition.

How to be a responsible person (AND FEEL GREAT!)
- Be reliable and dependable; when you agree to do something, do it.
If you let people down, they’ll stop believing you. When you follow through on your commitments, people take you seriously.

- Answer for your own actions; don’t make excuses or blame others.
Don’t make excuses or blame others for what you do. When you take responsibility for your actions you are saying “I am the one who’s in charge of my life.”

- Take care of your own business. Don’t make others do what you are supposed to do.
Don’t rely on adults to remind you when you’re supposed to be somewhere or what you’re supposed to bring. You take the responsibility.

- Be trustworthy.
If somebody trusts you to borrow or take care of something, take care of it. If somebody tells you something in confidence, keep it to yourself. It’s important for people to know they can count on you.

- Don’t put things off.
When you have a job to do, do it. Doing things on time helps you take control of your life and shows that you can manage your own affairs.

- Use your head; think before you act; imagine the consequences.
When you use your head you make better choices. That shows to people that they can trust you.

Admirable trait

Being responsible and taking responsibility for the things that may go wrong is an admirable character trait. We all dislike dealing with people who are irresponsible or who blame others. So being responsible is a character trait for which we should strive. You get a good reputation. You also feel good about yourself by having such character.

Am I being fully responsible for where I am right now? If we can’t be 100% responsible, at least have some of it and start this by saying; “From Today Onwards, I want to be a Responsible person!”

“The price of greatness is responsibility.” - Winston Churchill

P.S : Contradicting isn’t it? All of you must been wondering why do I write about this. No right or wrong answers to why I did so. It is really obvious that I am pissed.
