A lot can be said about taking responsibility... but when it really comes to practicality, what do most of us do?... Do we really take responsibility for ourselves and others around?... or just complain and make things even worse?... It said that you can either complain or take responsibility... Both are the two extreme ends of the rope of life!
This year, The Art Of Living Foundation gave an outstanding example of how to take responsibility and what wonderful things can be achieved by taking responsibility.... Here it is...
