Quote: "... and dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dream into practice. That way, we avoid all the risks, frustrations and difficulties, and when we are old, we can always blame other people-preferably our parents, our spouses or our children-for our failure to realize our dreams". - Paulo Coelho.

Quote: "An important decision I made was to resist playing the Blame Game. The day I realized that I am in charge of how I will approach problems in my life, that things will turn out better or worse because of me and nobody else, that was the day I knew I would be a happier and better person. And that was the day I knew I could truly build a life that matters". - Steve Goodier.

Quote: "There is an expiry date for blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. Certainly background and circumstances have influenced who we are, but who is responsible for the person we become?". - J.K. Rowling.

Quote: "People are disturbed, not by things (that happen to them), but by the principles and opinions which they form concerning (those) things. When we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles and opinions". - Epictetus.
