Few people are able to get through a day without making an excuse, or blaming their problems on someone else. Most people will not admit when they are wrong about something, or make a mistake. My intent for this post is to encourage everyone to take a different approach when it comes to why a task, assignment, or any type of project is not completed.
Let's start with the main reasons people give excuses. One, they just don't want to look stupid....two, they simply forget things or are just plain lazy... and three, they have a hard time admitting they are not perfect. The problem is, people don't understand that others have more respect for those that are honest.
IMO, if we can learn from our mistakes rather than make excuses, we will be happier and more successful. I have noticed that successful people admit when they make a mistake and learn from it and move on, determined not to repeat the mistake.
We need to hold ourselves accountable, instead of pointing the finger at someone else. If something needs to be done, "just do it".

Well put Mast Hawk.
For every finger one points at someone else, there are 3 fingers pointing back.
Many of the most successful people in the world have said that they have failed far more than they have succeeded. Learning form the failure while continuing to try to achieve their goal is what eventually brought them success.
I like the message - take responsibility, learn from failure, never stop trying, and just do it! Function in this manner and you'll never again need an excuse.

I have found it helpful to admit to my mistakes BEFORE anyone else even knows about them.
