The price of greatness is responsibility - Winston Churchill

The climb to greatness, as well as the time spent there, requires accepting various responsibilities and handling them with diligence and skill. This can also apply, not only to future greatness, but to what can be accomplished in daily living. Small things can mean a lot in the journey to greater accomplishments.

When we take on responsibility we become answerable for our actions and we accept the consequences. In this way, we can create a life about which we feel enthusiastic and purposeful. Being responsible means we will do what we say we will do. It also propels us forward and onward towards the greater good.

If a person fails to act with care, consideration, and responsibility at home and with friends, this can affect relationships later in life. The student who fails to complete homework assignments may not develop the knowledge and ability necessary for successful accomplishments as an adult.

The ideas that we, as humans, create our own reality and are responsible for our own experiences are powerful ones.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility...in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have...is the ability to take on responsibility - Michael Korda (American best-selling author)
