How About a Little Responsibility and Humility?

Responsibility and humility go hand-in-hand. Taking responsibility for your actions requires a large dose of humility -- especially if you are taking responsibility for something that did not have a positive outcome.

Problems are more easily resolved when you are willing to exercise a little humility and accept responsibility for your actions.

There is a saying in marksmanship circles: It's usually not the dope (windage and elevation settings applied to a weapon to help a round impact at its intended point of aim) on the weapon that causes a round to miss it's intended point of aim, but the dope (person who failed to apply the appropriate windage and elevation settings to a weapon) BEHIND the weapon.

If more dopes behind the weapon were willing to exercise a little humility and responsibility, the world would be a better place.
