Business and responsibilities

Everyone is busy, but when you have responsibilities, you need to fulfil them even though you are busy. You need to find ways to make more effective use of your time. Even when your responsibilities come about as a result of your voluntary actions, you should still abide by them no matter how busy you are.

Maybe people nowadays do not see the importance of their responsibilities. Maybe they don't even realise they have responsibilities. Maybe they are too accustomed to reliance on others.

I have never thought of relying on others to carry out my responsibilities even though I am really busy. I use what little time I have to fulfil them - on the train, during lunch, sleeping a bit less, etc. I don't complain as I know why I am carrying out these responsibilities and that I am not doing things in vain.

Maybe I am too nice to people, trying to relieve them of their responsibilities when I think they are truly in need after their requests, but in effect, if they genuinely tried, they could have carried out their responsibilities anyway.

If everyone gives up because they are too busy, then noone would take up any responsibilities, and nothing could be achieved. If this happened, would people wake up? Or would they just move on and learn to adapt and rely on someone new?

move on and adapt to something new

relying on others= effective resource management, minimise self loss, maximise others loss ;)
