I like watching the Court shows that are on tv these days. No, I don't sit and watch them but I usually have the tv on while I am working. During a case the other day as one of the defendant's was making all sorts of excuses for what they did... Judge Hatchett took a minute to give some wise advice. This is what she said and I felt it was so true. She said..
"If you do a bad thing, call it a bad thing. Do not make excuses for it because it is what it is. Acknowledge what you did or you will live a life of excuses.
People are what they do."
I thought it was spot on.

I hate excuses! If you make a mistake, own up to it! Occasionally something will happen like a delayed airplane or a blown out tire, but 99% of the time, people's screwups are just screwups. It's not half as bad to admit it as it is to try to weasel out.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty simple, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI didn't do a lick of work this week. No phone calls, no appointments, forgot to mail product to a customer, no follow ups. I took the week completely off.
I brought in $0.00.
Gee, this Mary Kay business doesn't work at all . . . ;-) People should have called ME!
They should have emailed ME!
They should have ordered on my website!
What a sham.
Get my point?
I'll be back at it next week! My weeks prior to this one were a
$300, $400, $700, $200.
There was a REASON for that $0. I DID SQUAT!
Simple.
