I tend to be no.2 quite often and i know it's a bad attitude. I have to change and i will. Helpful stuff, btw.

But the issue is that common sense isn't very common.

In fact it's SO rare, it's now classified as a superpower

Great words of wisdom Khalaq. I appreciate you sharing them! I'm always amazed at the things you write and I'm not just saying that. I need to find the one you wrote about a month back and post it here. You're one quote really changed my outlook on some things.
Edit: I found it. More words of wisdom from Khalaq.

Now I have this tab open for more than two days waiting for some wise words to come up as a reply and they don't want to be coming. So I write these instead: it was very refreshing to read something like this here on Steamgifts. As refreshing as unexpected. I thank you for dropping your input here. I appreciate it.

About 3: I feel that this should be dug a bit into. It's true that for actual results you're likely to get nothing done by pointing fingers,but 1: It's important to do think about what went wrong,where,and letting the person in charge of it know(if possible,with improvement suggestions or possible other ways to do the same thing more successfully), and 2: Complaining (in rational amounts) about your situation is a step in solving a problem,as it lets others know you have it hard and possibly offer you help and/or ways to make your life a bit easier.

The word I used was "blaming," not "complaining," and that is for a reason. The only thing blaming accomplishes is putting the burden of responsibility upon the shoulders of a particular person. That is useless because it does nothing to solve the problem, and in most situations, the responsibility for the problem belongs to many people, not just one individual.
Regarding your two points, ...
1) That falls under "address the issue."
2) That falls under "change your input."
Communicating your difficulties, concerns, and ideas to others offers the opportunity to work with them to overcome the problem. If your focus is on solving the problem together with the other person rather than shaming him or her for a mistake, you will usually get his or her cooperation in fixing it.

+1, I had an issue, lucky he helped me; now it has stopped. I never wanted to tell my parents because of my cowardliness; talking and communicating with someone is quite often the best solution of issues.

That aside,I think I've understood the core principal of what you want to convey,and an further discussion would be more about terminology than the actual points.

I am nothing special. I've just "been around awhile" and learned a few things (thank God). That is one reason why many cultures teach respect of your elders. They've lived longer than we have and know many things we have yet to learn.

That's true.
Unfortunately - and it's scientifically proven - idiots get old as well. :/ Even though people can and do change, there are still those who put "been around awhile" not as a reason why they are wise but as one and only, faultless proof of their wiseness. Just because you are doing something (wrong) for 50 years you cannot force someone to respect you for it.

Bump, also a couple questions if you would be so kind to indulge me.
I saw your post on another thread about you being a teacher. It wasn't the appropriate place to ask, but what kind of things do you teach? Also, I finally did your QR box thing and love the video. Kudos friend!

Currently, I am teaching K-12 as a substitute teacher. In the past, I have taught at various levels in various subjects. Currently, I'm working toward my teaching credential for elementary education (where I will probably end up teaching fourth grade). The other possibility is going back to teaching at the University level, but that is less attractive to me.

Great post man. Sometimes it is the simple truths in life that we forget.

I'm always impressed at your posts. You're truly a man of wisdom!

I spend a lot of time dealing with people of various ages, so I watch them. I pay attention to what they are doing to achieve success, and what they are doing to inhibit success. Funnily enough, most people make the same mistakes, over and over, again. Human beings have a tendency to act without thinking too much about what happens and why, and so we do not usually learn from our mistakes or the mistakes of others. If you are taking the time to read this, however, then perhaps you may notice the following:
1) Life is not fair.
2) Nobody owes you anything.
3) Blame never solved the problem.
These three clues are courtesy of my step-father whom I am blessed to have in my life. The meaning of what I have written, above, is quite deep, and I could have written many pages on any one of them, but when it comes to digesting new information, shorter is better.
I hope that what I've written here is of some benefit to you.
