So, You Fell Into a Mud Puddle!

So, you fell into a mud puddle. What are we going to do now? Complain and make excuses about it? Why? Because our shoes and clothes are wet and dirty, Or, because we skinned up our knee. It's easy for us to complain about it. However, it is not so easy to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, realize that it just might have been our own fault, learn from it, and go on. The point that I'm trying to make, is that a majority of the time, it will be of our own faults that we fell into that mud puddle in the first place. So, why then, do we complain about it, and attempt to divert blame away from the true source of the problem?

Why don't we ask ourselves “Why did we fall into that mud puddle?” Did we fall into it because we tripped? Did we fall into it because we weren't paying attention, thus not seeing it? Did we fall into it because of..?

Let's apply this principle to real world events and I'll attempt to explain my logic of thinking. Of course, keep in mind, that I realize and fully understand that sometimes, there are circumstances beyond control that do apply to these scenarios. Times, such as those, cannot be helped. It's part of life. That is when we do the best to pick ourselves up and go on. However, I personally feel, that a majority of the time, we are guilty of our own undoing.

Here are a few of many possible examples that may explain what I'm trying to convey. Of course, you will probably have your own opinions, as you should, and may or may not agree with me..., and I respect that.

Let's look at loss of employment. Did you lose your job? Why did you lose your job? Was it due to “current economic conditions?” If this is the case, then there is nothing you could of did to change this, and life goes on. But, did you lose your job because you miss work regularly? Did you lose your job because you were late quite a bit? Did you lose your job because you were not capable of what the position entailed? Did you lose your job because you came to work under the influence? If this is the case, then you are guilty of your own situation and therefore, have no reason to make excuses and complain about it.

What about paying the bills? Did you go to the latest concert, or out to dinner, when you knew, deep down, that you really couldn't afford it? Did you buy the latest cell phone, music cd, or download the latest ring tone? Or, did your vehicle break down causing an added expense. Maybe you were sick and had to buy medicine. These are legitimate reasons why a bill may not get paid. But, are they legitimate reasons why a bill should not have gotten paid?

Did you get a ticket? Why did you get the ticket? Were you speeding? Did you run a red light? Why were you in such a hurry? Were you late for work? Why were you late for work? Did you get up late? Did you get up late because you stayed out with your friends, thus causing you to sleep in, therefore, creating your lateness? Whose fault is that? Or, did you have a flat tire that required you to repair it beforehand, causing your lateness? Whose fault is that? An employer will, normally understand this flat tire scenario, with simple communication such as a telephone call. Unless, of course, this is your fourth flat tire this week. But, will they understand that you slept in because you stayed out too late. Doubtful. Back to the ticket. Now, ask yourself, was it really not your fault?

I have heard a million and one excuses as to why the situation at hand is not the person's fault. Although, I never seem to hear, that I caused this because of...?

In utilizing the above examples, because, I didn't go to work or, because I spent the money frivolously or, because I was speeding.

Responsibility, accountability, and accepting the fact that we are or was the root cause of this problem never seems to be a part of the solution. It should be. For, had we not missed so much work, we may have retained our job, or had we not went shopping we may have been able to pay that bill, or had we gotten up just a bit earlier, we would not of had to rush, thus, probably not getting a speeding ticket.

These are just a few of the unlimited and infinite examples that could be applied to these situations. We are all human and make mistakes. I fully understand that there are extenuating circumstances and legitimate reasons that contribute to many of life's problems. When times like these occur, maybe there truly isn't or wasn't anything we could do about it. But, before we begin to gripe, whine, denounce, complain, and make excuses about it, we need to ask ourselves, “Why did we fall in that mud puddle?”

Pokemon Fire Red please help!?

I'm on fire red and I was a naughty boy and used the cheat code for all the TMs (action replay)... the problem is, i'm now at Icefall cave and can't pick up the HM07 waterfall because it's already in my bag :s
If I don't pick it up then the ladder to the next place I need to get to won't appear, even though I can use waterfall already

Is there anyway I can delete the HM item/be able to pick this HM up?

I would take a leaf out of Homer Simpson's book, say DOH and start the game again.
