Virtues

Scott Emmett/Phil Martinez.

    • Defined as: the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone.
    • There is no shortage of people that will rush to take responsibility for a project that went well. However, there are few that will take responsibility for a project gone awry. Whom to we see in American history as an example of these behaviors? All the founding fathers took responsibility for the creation of our nation. They made mistakes and worked to fix them. On the other side, there are lots of people that went the immature way and tried to hide their actions. Watergate and My Lai Massacre. So, you challenge is to be Responsible NO MATTER the cost and teach that to whomever you can.
