I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.
I've been successful because I've never been someone to shy away from taking responsibility.
I was a guy who showed up for work and took the chance for finding out whether I could do it or not... I'd like to think I made my success not at the expense of anyone. Success was accidental.
An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.
I'm not really in the excuse business.
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
I do not believe in excuses. I believe in hard work as the prime solvent of life's problems.
I say, 'You can never use excuses because they always run out.'
If you don't try your hardest, and you're unsuccessful, you always have that excuse.
I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
