Who's Responsible?<br />
Every situation of life is "A RESPONSIBILITY",<br />
including all and excluding none! Marriage,<br />
study, pastoring, employment, civil service,<br />
trade and business and name it! Is a<br />
responsibility! Laziness is a responsibility. We<br />
cannot do without being responsible for all we<br />
do<br />
The nature and level of our "RESPONSIBILITY"<br />
go a long way in determining who we are, and<br />
when and why and how. We determine what we<br />
know, where we reach and what we get to<br />
possess.<br />
A man is a man because he is "RESPONSIBLE"<br />
for his thoughts, words and actions. He can<br />
never be severed from "RESPONSIBILITY". He<br />
is born with it, lives with it and dies with<br />
determines how responsible he will be and that<br />
determining in turn the result or consequencehow<br />
his life looks like.
I N T R O D U C T I O N C O N T .<br />
Who's Responsible?<br />
The Creator has His Own "RESPONSIBILITY"<br />
and man has his in the running and continuance<br />
of the planet earth.<br />
Even in eternity, man will not exist without<br />
"RESPONSIBILITY" - he has work to do there<br />
forever. The sinner on the other hand has a<br />
"RESPONSIBILITY" there to suffer for his evil<br />
deeds.<br />
"RESPONSIBILITY" is for a lifetime.<br />
"RESPONSIBILITY" is for Eternity!<br />
I write this for the sake of men of all ages, I<br />
write this for the sake of men of all races. I<br />
write for the sake of humans of both sexes, to<br />
the business man and civil servant; to the<br />
father, mother and children; the one who<br />
teaches and the who is taught. To all I write<br />
this piece. Why? Because the causes and<br />
effects of responsibility affects all of them! No<br />
one is exonerated.
I N T R O D U C T I O N C O N T .<br />
Who's Responsible?<br />
I write because all issues of life require<br />
responsibility. All relationships- parentchildren<br />
relationship; pastor-member<br />
relationship; leader-follower relationship;<br />
husband-wife relationship etc require<br />
responsibility. Likewise all endeavours building<br />
a house, getting a life partner; ownership of a<br />
car or property. Attaining any height requires<br />
responsibility, maintaining that height requires<br />
more and more.<br />
I will use "metaphor system" to dive into the<br />
concept of responsibility to make the points<br />
vivid and clear. I hope with my young mind I've<br />
been able to make a bit of deal and I also do<br />
hope that the reader takes time to understand<br />
the points to a very appreciable extent.<br />
This is my wish and prayer.<br />
Thank you.
Thank you for reading!<br />

Who's responsible?<br />
You will always possess the ability to be able to<br />
meet up every responsibility you face.<br />
The reasons why people seem unable to meet up<br />
with their responsibilities are:<br />
Ignorance: "My people are destroyed for lack of<br />
knowledge" Hosea 4:6<br />
Procrastination: To shift your ability gear to another<br />
day, another time, another season, without taking<br />
a reasonable action<br />
Lack of action: What good is it, my brothers, if<br />
someone says he has faith (response) "mine" but<br />
does not have works (ability) "mine"? Can that faith<br />
(response help him) "mine" save him?<br />
The Message- James 2:14<br />
Fear: "...........Because fear has torment" 1 John<br />
4:18<br />
When the responsibility arises, the ability to meet<br />
that responsibility is also there, if we dare to look<br />
deeply- Rose A<br />
www.whoisresponsible.org
Who's responsible?<br />
The problem is we are either not knowing, not full<br />
of the response, doubting or not taking positive<br />
steps towards meeting that responsibility.<br />
The ability is always there, always present- always<br />
in our blindspot- discovering it is up to us, using it<br />
is left for us, whether we like it or not.<br />
For example.<br />
In the book of Genesis, the whole starting point of<br />
taking responsibility. The Creator, created the farm<br />
with fruits in it, say for example LEMON, and he<br />
gave us the farm to till and tender. Now it is let for<br />
us to pluck that lemon from the farm, and make it<br />
to a juicy and savour drink called a LEMONADE.<br />
Dr. Myles Munroe said "God works the vision in,<br />
man works it out" That's sound perfectly right.<br />

Who's responsible?<br />
Every responsibility coming your way has been<br />
personalized to your uniqueness. It is meant for<br />
you. It is for your endurance, to sharpen you, to<br />
nurture you and to help others.<br />
In 1Cor10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you<br />
that is not common to man. Therefore, develop a<br />
solution in mind and ahead of time because every<br />
responsibility comes with a two different titles, "I<br />
can handle this at this time or I can't handle this at<br />
this time, with shift focus of solution but be exact<br />
when you will be able to solve that, because it<br />
won't be magical disappear just by ignoring it.<br />
And it is not taken you by surprise.<br />
It is coming to test your ability. But be mindful of<br />
this that the God is with you and is He is faithful,<br />
and he will not let you be tempted beyond your<br />

Whatever you visualize clearly and often will<br />

www.whoisresponsible.org
Who's responsible?<br />
The winning strategy is to visualize how your<br />
response will be. How well you visualize your<br />
winning response depends primarily on how you<br />
have used or can train your mind.<br />
The more clearly you can mentally picture how<br />
your life will be with response you gave, the easier<br />
it is for your ability to achieve the result.<br />

CRITICISM<br />
PREMIUM 3<br />
IT IS A THOUSAND<br />
TIMES EASIER TO<br />
CRITICISE THAN TO<br />
CREATE.<br />
John Mason
Who's responsible?<br />
It is a fact that for every situation of life, some<br />
people will demonstrate responsibility while some<br />
won't.<br />
It is also indisputable fact that the irresponsible<br />
ones will always be jealous of and therefore<br />
criticize the responsible ones.<br />
Because they know they are irresponsible and<br />
don't desire to become responsible and that<br />
desire that every other person become like them;<br />
they criticize.<br />
In the book of (Revelation 22:11 NIV) says "Let him<br />
who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him<br />
who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does<br />
right continue to do right; and let him who is holy<br />
continue to be holy.<br />
Every one should fall within his rank and stop<br />
poke-nosing into other people's affairs. But critics<br />
won't accept! They keep on talking and<br />
blaspheming- because that's their business!
Who's responsible?<br />
The responsible individual attracts opposition and<br />
criticism. He is told "you are too forward....You bite<br />
more than you can chew....you have holier than<br />
thou attitude.....you are not blending with the<br />
trend.......No responsible man will ever be free<br />
from criticism! In fact when every Dick, Tom and<br />
Harry approves of your style, then know that you<br />
are right in the middle of the ocean of status-quo<br />
and status quo is irresponsibility! Why? Because is<br />
the way it was done yesterday-unchanged,<br />
unimproved and unbettered!<br />
Irresponsible people love status-quo, they dont<br />
want any further labor or change. Therefore, they<br />
criticise those who move forward - the<br />
responsible!<br />
responsibility is criticism!
Who's responsible?<br />
The critics never run out of inconsequential things<br />
to say. Critics are talkers, they don't listen, they<br />
only talk. And they continue to talk, babbling<br />
through hours of your valuable time,, rendering<br />
you totally ineffective during those extended<br />
periods of regurgitated verbiage.<br />
Critics are people who use your mind for a trash of<br />
heap. Life never works for them.<br />

In what areas we show responsibility, when we do<br />
show responsibility, why we show responsibility<br />
and how responsible we are, are all our<br />
promulgations.<br />
We decide them, no other person does and no<br />
situations does. Now the reaping of the reward of<br />
our responsibility nature and causes is determined<br />
by who?<br />
A sad fact is that more people, hmm no, most<br />
people- carry on in life how they want; handling<br />
situations based on their own selfish interests -<br />
feeling they are kings over their actions. Well, that<br />
they are kings over their actions is not disputable<br />

never a possibility! It has never been and it will<br />

Rose A
I'm Responsible<br />
Responsibility is manifestation. That is s DIGNITY.<br />
There is a clear line of difference between a man<br />
with settled home and that with a broken and<br />
scattered one. The secret? RESPONSIBILITY!<br />
While the sacrifice of responsibility may be<br />
somewhat tedious and strenuous, its rewards are<br />
joyous and glorious.<br />
God wants earnestly for a time when the children<br />
of Satan will see the clear line difference between<br />
themselves and the sons of God. The latter having<br />
peace and comfort in all areas of life- marriage,<br />
finances, vocation, spiritual, relationship and<br />
others. That is when God is really glorified.<br />
The true test and proof of responsibility level is<br />
dignity level. How man is viewed in the societywhether<br />
in high esteem or despised is a proof of<br />
how responsible he is.<br />
No responsible man is despised and no<br />
irresponsible man is truly honoured and<br />
respected
I'm Responsible<br />
If we noticed that other people have better lives<br />
than we do have, we should pause and ask<br />
ourselves this question: Am I responsible as they<br />
are? Where is my missing point? What can I do<br />
differently? What are they doing differently?<br />
If we are responsible only in little things we get<br />
only little rewards and if we are responsible in big<br />
things, we get rewards. But, if we are responsible<br />
in all things, we get perfect and complete rewards!<br />

Zig Ziglar
I'm Responsible<br />
We are never held responsible for situations that<br />
are not our duty to handle. Responsibility is a duty.<br />
We are given responsibility over certain things<br />
because and only because it is our duty to have<br />
responsibility over them.<br />
And that is why blaming other people for our<br />
irresponsible behavior is most sinful and wrong.<br />
We are to blame for whatever we do right or<br />
wrong.<br />
Therefore the best thing we can do is to view our<br />
responsibilities as duties. For the man, feeding his<br />
family is a duty and not a burden.<br />
He shouldn't blame the economy, government or<br />
his parents for anything.<br />
Shifting blames on others and situation have<br />
become rampant in our world today. And this has<br />
caused more disasters than the situations from<br />
which the blames surfaced.<br />
A blame leaves us worse than it met us-always! We<br />
fail in one area or another and instead of rising<br />
and checking the wrong, we look for some other<br />
individuals to accuse for the wrong we committed.<br />
This is INSANE!
I'm Responsible<br />
Even for situations that occured not by our making<br />
e. g not given a sound education, it is still not<br />
justifiable if we shift the blame.<br />
Where we were is the problem, but where we are.<br />
"It is not what happens to me that matters but<br />
what happens in me" John Maxwell.<br />
Responsibility is a duty and we should handle it as<br />
nothing else but DUTY! If we fail to assume<br />
responsibility and we go about looking for who to<br />
blame, we inevitably come back from our journey<br />
to meet the same issue persisting - and now, much<br />
more terrible than we left it.<br />
Blame is procrastination. A duty procrastinated is<br />
a duty made more difficult to perform<br />

EXCELLENCE, THEN, IS<br />

I'm responsible<br />
One of the concise ways of defining<br />
responsibility is defining it as<br />
management.<br />
Management is responsibility and<br />
responsibility is management.<br />
"There are two categories of people.<br />
The former handle situations of life<br />
while the latter are handled by the<br />
situations of life. The former are<br />
always turning the tide - while the<br />
latter move along with the tide of<br />
life - or better still, are turned by<br />
the tide of life".<br />
The former determine their direction<br />
irrespective of prevailing conditions. The<br />
latter are the opposite - they allow<br />
conditions to determine their directions. If<br />
you don't determine situations, situations<br />
will determine you.<br />
The earth was created for man to control<br />
and to control man.<br />
Life has neither a bad nor a good gift to give<br />
you.

determinant: not the determined<br />
"It is an obligation for you to be at<br />
the helm of the affairs of your life.<br />
No one can do that for you because<br />
they can never do it right".<br />
Each human is a different species. It can not<br />
happen of its own accord too. Do it or leave<br />
it! Do it or leave it! Do it and be on top of it.<br />
Leave it and it will be right on top of you.<br />
You have to be in control of the affairs of<br />
your life!. You've got to be the manager-not<br />
the managed. Life is always at your disposal.<br />
It is always at your service. Your life was<br />
created for you. The earth exists because you<br />
exist. If it's your possession, then handle it<br />
well. If you are a good manager, then you are<br />

One golden truth and reality is that<br />
taking wrong approach to any situation<br />
is not and can not be justified.<br />
Compromise is failing to measure up to<br />
standard. A compromise person is a<br />
mediocre. Each and every time we<br />
compromise, we inevitably break God's<br />
law. This is because we will have to<br />
submit power to some other force aside<br />
of God's.<br />
"It is an obligation for you to be at<br />
the helm of the affairs of your life.<br />
No one can do that for you because<br />
they can never do it right".<br />
No one who compromised ever reached the<br />
expected destination. Compromise is dying<br />
along the way. Compromise is lukewarmness<br />
and there is only one reward for<br />
lukewarmness and it is" I will spit you out of<br />
my mouth! Rev 3:16.<br />
Compromise is standing in the middle of the<br />
road.
I'm responsible<br />
John Mason "the most dangerous place<br />
to be is the middle of the road because<br />
there you get knocked of with traffic<br />
from both directions".<br />
It is expedient to understand that<br />
compromise is not responsibility and<br />
responsibility is not compromise. The<br />
mere fact that you compromised show<br />
you're irresponsible! if not, you'd have<br />
stuck on to the end of the job.<br />
"Lazy people compromise while<br />
diligent people take action. Don't<br />
compromise standard! Don't<br />
compromise responsibility".<br />
You are not yet a winner until you've broken<br />
the tape. You are not a victor until your<br />
opponent is at your feet - no, under your<br />
feet! You are not yet who you ought to be<br />

Responsibility is not an aftermath<br />
process, its consequence is. Also, the<br />
consequence of responsibility is never<br />
worked for only -responsibility is<br />

naturally.<br />
"Start to embark on a journey of<br />

A person who bases his being responsible on<br />
condition whether or not others are<br />
responsible; whether or not he will be<br />
recognized and praised for it etc, is not a<br />
responsible person.<br />
A responsible person carries out his<br />
responsibility without condition. He is not<br />
concerned whether he gets the praise or not,<br />
whether others around him are also<br />
responsible or not.<br />
His gaze is fixed straight-ahead, pursuing the<br />
attainment or the fulfilment of his objective<br />
and not concerned about unnecessary<br />
issues- issues that hold no importance.
I'm responsible<br />
An irresponsible person is always<br />
conditionalizing his responsibility -<br />
decides when to be responsible and why<br />
and how - all based on whether his<br />
selfish end is met or not<br />

I'm responsible<br />
The man who falters or sins in the<br />
process of discharging his responsibility<br />
is irresponsible!<br />
It makes no difference the weight of<br />
responsibility we carry, devising any<br />
means aside of GOD"s original plan is sin<br />
and will be punished.<br />
"Happy is the man who doesn't give<br />
in and do wrong when he is<br />
tempted. James 1:12"<br />
We should never stop reminding ourselves<br />
that the discharge of responsibilities is not<br />
supposed to please and benefit us alone.<br />
God is not only concerned about our<br />
discharging our duties, He is concerned -<br />
and really concerned - about how we<br />
discharge them whether purely or not.<br />
Purity is eminence and beauty. There is<br />
nothing as beautiful as purity. It is honesty,<br />
blamelessness and trust worthiness. It is<br />
honest, blamelessness and trust worthiness.<br />
It is a virtue and a quality. Purity is respect.<br />

Responsible people can only be<br />

They hide through nooks, corners and<br />

Irresponsible people have something<br />

It is a indisputable fact that some people<br />
maneuver their ways to the top through<br />
dubious means. They perform some<br />

themselves at the top.<br />
It makes no difference how private that<br />

It is obvious that certain people do not<br />
have a history of being responsible afore<br />
times. Some might lived their whole lives<br />
indulging in irresponsible act - revelers,<br />
politician charlatans, fraudulent people,<br />
marital unfaithfuls.<br />
The fact remains that is not only the<br />
responsible person one who has always<br />
been responsible but also the one who<br />
has changed from being irresponsible t<br />
being responsible.<br />
What you were is not as consequential<br />
and important as what you are. What<br />
you did holds not much not as much on<br />
you as what you do.<br />
"There is always a chance for<br />
change and there is always an<br />

responsibility to being irresponsible.

There is always a medium for freedom -<br />

also a very responsible person because it<br />
takes a sense of responsibility to desist from<br />

That is what responsibility is: Service!<br />
For every time we are responsibly<br />
disposing our duties in all areas of life -<br />
marital, vocational, political and religious<br />
we are invariably offering service to<br />
some person or persons.<br />
"A responsible person is a servant!<br />
A servant to God and a servant to<br />
humanity"<br />
The political leader who faithfully discharge<br />
his office is offering service to his followers<br />
and therefore wins favor - with God and<br />
Man.<br />
The husband or wife effectively playing his<br />
/her role in the home - becomes an<br />
instrument of peace and harmony in the<br />
home and consequently, the society.<br />
Responsible people see their duties as<br />
service and therefore are concerned about<br />
how well they discharged their duties in<br />
order to be a blessing to one person or the<br />
other.
I'm responsible<br />
Irresponsible people are self-centered in<br />
carrying out their duties and therefore<br />
seek for the gratification of themselves<br />
alone.<br />
And the end result? Others lose out! And<br />
not only others, they also lose in the long<br />
run.<br />
"Most people carry out their duties<br />
with a selfish mentality and<br />
therefore go about stepping on<br />
everybody's toes, tumbling on<br />
everybody just for the sake of<br />
achieving their own selfish ends"<br />
If we can only try to love other people like<br />
ourselves, then we will be able to feel the<br />
way they feel and therefore, hurting them<br />
will never be an option.<br />
Service is feeling the way others feel and<br />
hence doing things in such as a way that<br />
others will benefit and not lose.<br />
A responsible person is a servant! A servant<br />
to God and a servant to humanity!<br />
CHECKPOINT: If you want to detect if you're<br />
responsible or not, check how many benefit<br />
from your actions. Then you have the<br />

To most of the issues of life, there is<br />
always a temptation every now and then,<br />
in one area or another to show<br />
irresponsibility. And that is why every<br />
human is fighter - involved in a warfare!<br />
This is so because responsibility involves<br />
warfare, and warfare involves<br />
preparation, preparation involves<br />
planning and planning involves action.<br />
"Choices should not be based on<br />
immediate self gratification but on<br />

It is much easier to rest comfortably and<br />
relax on the couch and enjoy some nice TV<br />
programmes than it is to go out working<br />
under heat and stress. It is seemingly<br />
enticing for an individual to indulge in<br />
promiscuity without restraint than it is to be<br />
abide with and tolerate only one married<br />
spouse - especially if the spouse is not so<br />

order to edge one's way through to achieve a<br />
particular objective.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is<br />
worse than doing the wrong things for the<br />
right reason.<br />
"It is better not to do a good thing at all<br />
than to do it with the wrong motive<br />
because by so doing, you are digging<br />
your grave.".<br />
Because the end justifies the means and not<br />
the means the end.<br />
Responsibility is being faithful from start to<br />
finish. It is single mindedness and<br />
uprightness. A very good way of judging our<br />
actions is by our intentions.<br />
A responsible thing is what you did not just<br />
because you want it to be done because it<br />
ought to be done.<br />
The "what" of a thing is important but the<br />
"why" of that thing is more.<br />
In disposing your activities and duties, it is<br />
pertinent to note that the pleasure of the<br />
one who gave you the responsibility must<br />
supersede your own pleasure.
I'm Responsible<br />
The giver of responsibility is higher than the<br />
doer of the responsibility.<br />
Good actions must complement good<br />
intentions and not to supplement them. If<br />
you really want to benefit from whatever<br />
good you do, then make sure you are not<br />
looking out for your self alone in the process.<br />
"The world wasn't created for you alone<br />
so you can't expect everything to dance<br />
to the tune of your own music.".<br />
You can not work out your reaping yourself.<br />
You can only determine the sowing. So stop<br />
being over much selfish. Do the right things<br />
in the right way and with the right motive!.<br />

I'm Responsible<br />
Responsibility is inevitable, ineludible. If you<br />
elude it, its reward will in turn elude you.<br />
You don't determine when you want winter.<br />
You're obliged to give in to the constant<br />
elapsing and re-emergence of day and night<br />
- you can't distort the order. You can only<br />
decide what you make of them.<br />
Situations are like that - they're inevitable.<br />
You can not evade the emergence of<br />
situations. If you do, you're only incurring<br />
upon your pate much tougher, delicate and<br />
complicated ones.<br />
Situations are like parasites- they give birth<br />
to young ones and multiply if not dealt with<br />
properly.<br />
If don't get rid of a present situations and<br />
you try to dodge away from it, you will only<br />
end up having to cope with its offspringsmore<br />
situations.
I'm Responsible<br />
And what will happen is that the original<br />
situation will remain unsolved and more<br />
would have surfaced. Responsibility can<br />
never be evaded. The more you run away<br />
from it, the more it multiplies.<br />
You can never run away from responsibility.<br />
When you try to run away from<br />
responsibility, you are actually running into<br />
it.<br />
Before starting out any day, prepare yourself<br />
towards facing situations that demand<br />
responsibility because they will always come.<br />
Responsibility is being able to see<br />
what nobody else has seen and think what<br />
nobody else has thought so that you can do<br />

I'm Responsible<br />
Responsibility is somewhat interwoven. No<br />
matter how agile, fervent and wise a man is,<br />
there are always some things he just can't do<br />
himself and there are some he can't do alone.<br />
The business executive could make huge<br />
money from his endeavours but he can't<br />
treat his illness nor that of his children - his<br />
physician does that.<br />
The man or woman cannot single-handedly<br />
provide a baby - it is always a joint effort.<br />
Island attitudes do not work in carrying out<br />
our responsibilities - they only reduce<br />
efficiency and effectiveness.<br />
Knowing that we can't do it alone is a great<br />
truth to discover and knowing who we do<br />
things with is a great truth.<br />
We need to understand how to relate with<br />
people around us - because any of them<br />
could render help to us tomorrow.<br />
Some people come into your life for a<br />
purpose and for a reason.<br />
People are like a path, they always leave a<br />
mark.
I'm Responsible<br />
Yet in our relating with other men, we should<br />
not break God's law in order to satisfy them.<br />
We shouldn't sell our birthright for a morsel<br />
of meal - if we do, how can we claim our<br />

We should maintain caution. If we kill who<br />
should be of assistance to us tomorrow, we<br />
may be mandated to go raise that dead<br />
tomorrow- and that's impossible! Yet, we<br />
should not go compromising God's standard<br />
in order to incur favor from any source.<br />
What do we gain from getting goods and<br />
losing God.<br />
People are interdependent mortals. Our<br />
strenghts are feeble and therefore are<br />
inadequate to meet all the demands of life.<br />
We need others every now and then for<br />
support and assistance.<br />

One of the concise ways of defining<br />
responsibility is defining it as<br />
management.<br />
Management is responsibility and<br />
responsibility is management.<br />
"There are two categories of people.<br />
The former handle situations of life<br />
while the latter are handled by the<br />
situations of life. The former are<br />
always turning the tide - while the<br />
latter move along with the tide of<br />
life - or better still, are turned by<br />
the tide of life".<br />
The former determine their direction<br />
irrespective of prevailing conditions. The<br />
latter are the opposite - they allow<br />
conditions to determine their directions. If<br />
you don't determine situations, situations<br />
will determine you.<br />

"It is an obligation for you to be at<br />

Each human is a different species. It can not<br />
happen of its own accord too. Do it or leave<br />
it! Do it or leave it! Do it and be on top of it.<br />
Leave it and it will be right on top of you.<br />
You have to be in control of the affairs of<br />
your life!. You've got to be the manager-not<br />

It is always at your service. Your life was<br />

One golden truth and reality is that<br />
taking wrong approach to any situation<br />
is not and can not be justified.<br />
Compromise is failing to measure up to<br />
standard. A compromise person is a<br />
mediocre. Each and every time we<br />
compromise, we inevitably break God's<br />
law. This is because we will have to<br />
submit power to some other force aside<br />
of God's.<br />
"It is an obligation for you to be at<br />
the helm of the affairs of your life.<br />
No one can do that for you because<br />
they can never do it right".<br />
No one who compromised ever reached the<br />
expected destination. Compromise is dying<br />
along the way. Compromise is lukewarmness<br />
and there is only one reward for<br />
lukewarmness and it is" I will spit you out of<br />
my mouth! Rev 3:16.<br />
Compromise is standing in the middle of the<br />
road.

John Mason "the most dangerous place<br />
to be is the middle of the road because<br />
there you get knocked of with traffic<br />
from both directions".<br />
It is expedient to understand that<br />
compromise is not responsibility and<br />
responsibility is not compromise. The<br />
mere fact that you compromised show<br />
you're irresponsible! if not, you'd have<br />
stuck on to the end of the job.<br />
"Lazy people compromise while<br />
diligent people take action. Don't<br />

process, its consequence is. Also, the<br />
consequence of responsibility is never<br />

"Start to embark on a journey of<br />

A person who bases his being responsible on<br />
condition whether or not others are<br />
responsible; whether or not he will be<br />
recognized and praised for it etc, is not a<br />
responsible person.<br />
A responsible person carries out his<br />
responsibility without condition. He is not<br />
concerned whether he gets the praise or not,<br />
whether others around him are also<br />
responsible or not.<br />
His gaze is fixed straight-ahead, pursuing the<br />
attainment or the fulfilment of his objective<br />
and not concerned about unnecessary<br />
issues- issues that hold no importance.

An irresponsible person is always<br />

The man who falters or sins in the<br />

It makes no difference the weight of<br />
responsibility we carry, devising any<br />

"Happy is the man who doesn't give<br />

supposed to please and benefit us alone.<br />
God is not only concerned about our<br />
discharging our duties, He is concerned -<br />

has changed from being irresponsible t<br />

That is what responsibility is: Service!<br />
For every time we are responsibly<br />

we are invariably offering service to<br />
some person or persons.<br />
"A responsible person is a servant!<br />
A servant to God and a servant to<br />

The political leader who faithfully discharge<br />
his office is offering service to his followers<br />
and therefore wins favor - with God and<br />
Man.<br />
The husband or wife effectively playing his<br />
/her role in the home - becomes an<br />
instrument of peace and harmony in the<br />
home and consequently, the society.<br />
Responsible people see their duties as<br />
service and therefore are concerned about<br />
how well they discharged their duties in<br />
order to be a blessing to one person or the<br />
other.
I'm responsible<br />
Irresponsible people are self-centered in<br />
carrying out their duties and therefore<br />
seek for the gratification of themselves<br />
alone.<br />
And the end result? Others lose out! And<br />
not only others, they also lose in the long<br />
run.<br />
"Most people carry out their duties<br />
with a selfish mentality and<br />
therefore go about stepping on<br />
everybody's toes, tumbling on<br />
everybody just for the sake of<br />
achieving their own selfish ends"<br />
If we can only try to love other people like<br />
ourselves, then we will be able to feel the<br />
way they feel and therefore, hurting them<br />
will never be an option.<br />
Service is feeling the way others feel and<br />
hence doing things in such as a way that<br />
others will benefit and not lose.<br />
A responsible person is a servant! A servant<br />
to God and a servant to humanity!<br />
