Societies are bounded by
established standards and laws that guide members of the society on how to live
and function right. Your refusal to live
within the ambit of the law and set standards is what makes you irresponsible.
You may find yourself in a society that has lost its values, full of
corruption, lacks regard for human dignity, moral and ethics; it’s your
responsibility to make a difference, live a life worthy of emulation and be the
positive influence your society needs. Do not look onto others for the change
you can create, be the agent of change your society needs.
The willingness to accept the standard
established by the society and make effort to live by those standards is your
responsibility and if you fail to meet the set standard, do not look around for
factors outside yourself to blame. It takes humility and courage to take
ownership of your mistakes and make adjustment when and where necessary but you
become irresponsible when you blame family, society, economy… for your failure
in life. It’s unfortunate how people waste precious years procrastinating and
believing there will be more time tomorrow than there is today, don’t be
deceived, the future is not a distant event, it comes to you everyday. Today is
the perfect time to take responsibility for your thought, choices, actions and
who you are.
