The goose blames the boy, the boy blames the goose.

IF YOU are involved in something that goes wrong, never blame others. Blame no one but yourself.

If you have touched something, accept the total responsibility for that piece of work.

If you accept responsibility, you are in a position to do something about it.

Here are some common excuses for failure:
1. It was a terrible brief.
2. I need a better partner.
3. There wasn't enough money to do it properly.
4. The director din't listen to me.
5. I was too busy on other projects.
6. I wasn't given enough time.
7. The client took out the best ideas.

Most of these grievances are every day on every job. That won't change.

The point is that, whatever other people's falling might be, you are the one to shoulder the responsibility.

There are no excuses.
