Taking Responsibility

Two families lived nearby. One family was constantly fighting while the other one lived
quietly and friendly. One day, feeling jealous about how nicely the neighboring family
got along, the wife told her husband….Go to the neighbors and look to see what they are
doing for their well-being.
The husband went, hid and began watching. He saw a woman who was cleaning the
floor. Suddenly something distracted her and she ran to the kitchen. At that time, her
husband rushed into the room. Not noticing the bucket of water, he kicked it and spilled
water all over the floor.
His wife came back from the kitchen and said to him… I’m sorry, honey! It’s my fault. I
didn’t move the bucket out of the way. The husband replied… No, I’m sorry, honey! It’s
my fault, because I did not notice it.
The man returned home and his wife asked him if he found out what their secret is. I
think the difference is that we always seek to be right, while they seek to take
responsibility for their part. Having peaceful relationships mean taking personal
responsibility for our own part.
By Steven Aitchison

To have a good time management, a lot of practice is necessary, because it seems easy to
manage your time according to your activities, which is not true. So it’s important to
know the importance of time management to help you to do your activities efficiently,
without feeling stressed about it.

Time management is important to teach you how to organize your tasks. To have a good
time management, you have to learn that you must prioritize tasks starting whit
performing the most important to the least important, the most urgent to the least urgent.

Have an agenda where you write down all the tasks you have to do and how long you
should do them, so that you can know which are the most important and which are the
most urgent.
