responsibility

So often survivors have had their experiences denied, trivialized, or distorted. Writing is an important avenue for healing because it gives you the opportunity to define your own reality. You can say: This did happen to me. It was that bad. It was the fault & responsibility of the adult. I was__nd am__nnocent._ The Courage to Heal by Ellen Bass & Laura Davis

If it has to be done, take the responsibility to do it.

As the world fights those who use violence to advance their agenda, engagement, not neutrality,is needed in our educational systems.

[S]cience has contributed a great deal to war and violence, and people well trained in science are sometimes not entirely rational and are even dogmatic. We have to find a way to teach reflectively, not just scientifically.

It is our responsibility to discover our talents, to accept them as from God, to develop them through education and training, and to use them for His glory.

Someone asked me once at a talk why I so stress the positive with my students yet am such an unstinting critic of those who run our culture and who are killing the planet. I answered immediately, __ower. If I__e got power or authority over someone, it__ my responsibility to use that only to help them. It__ my job to accept and praise them into becoming who they are.

What I've found about it is that there are some folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face--they're never going to get it and they're never going to change. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who is eager to listen, eager to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are the people we need to reach.

Be brave and upright. Shred the fake mask of humility into pieces. And put on the mask of arrogance if needed. Take the whole responsibility of your surrounding society on your own shoulders. If you consider yourself a human being, who cares for humanity, then, become a brave responsible citizen of the whole world. If not a big banyan tree, at least be like a mango tree under the shade of which a few people can rest. You are the architects of this beautiful world. Build it your way. And nourish it with your modern conscience.

We all carry success gene within us, but its manifestation is our responsibility.

Accept the fact that you are fully responsible for your career.

We let life down: it doesn't let us down.

Remember how far you__e come, and you won__ have to rely on a destiny for your future. It will come on your own.

Some of the most polished ideas are discovered through healthy, honest debate, so if you don't argue with yourself every once in a while, other people will gladly point out if, in any sense, you missed a spot.

Raising awareness versus raising alarmthe public can't be better informed if the information isn't better.

You cannot do everything by yourself, you need to learn how to delegate responsibility and trust people that everything will be done on time and with highest quality

...sometimes it's best not to know, because even when you know, it doesn't matter anyway. Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is often a responsibility nobody wants.

Now if we only knew what it means to know, we would be conscious.
