• Did he do this from the beginning?
• What made him change his mind?

The person is blaming things outside themselves for their actions
Responsibility
or
Blame Game
1) I lost the game because the other side cheated. 2) He made me laugh so I got thrown out of class. 3) I got a pink comment on my maths learning because I have been working really hard in class recently. 4) I am good at swimming because I practise every day after school. 5) I couldn’t finish my home learning because I had to watch my favourite TV programme. 6) Sherona doesn’t want to be my friend because I wasn’t very nice to her when she first started at school.
Your Goals What are your goals for this year? if you are going to achieve your goals, you must take responsibility for your actions – even if the ‘excuse’ is true, it does not help you achieve your goal. You need to find a way around the problem.
Your Goals It is your responsibility to do your best to reach your goals, just like Samindra in the story: - he kept going - he knew he could do it (he believed in himself)
