Being Irresponsible
Sometimes in life, you have to be irresponsible to be responsible. I came across a couple of events/thoughts that made me feel this way.
Basically in order to ensure you do not get taken for granted - it's sometimes necessary to let things slip, fail, or just plain irresponsible, in order for you to be truly responsible to yourself, your loved ones and others around you.
It's not possible to be everything to everyone - it's just not realistic. We either do 1) one thing really well 2) several things averagely well or 3) lots of things but nothing really gets properly done. Like a colleague often says, quantity up, but quality down. That's the rule of life.
