Being Self Responsible

I wrote a Chinese poem portraying my view of being responsible.





The translation of the poem is as follow:

We always are trouble by what others say, how others view (of us), what others do.
Why are we troubled by these?
Do we live in the eyes of others or do we live for ourselves?
Actually, we only need to be responsible for ourselves.

We always say that we did it for others.
It is true?
Maybe we are doing it for ourselves.
Because we only need to be responsible for ourselves.

Therefore,
Don’t live in the eyes of others,
And don’t say that we did it for others.

The truth is,
We only need to be responsible for ourselves.


Of course self responsible doesn’t means being self centre as we only look at ourselves. In fact, being responsible for our feelings, our actions, and our lives. No blaming and take full charge and responsible on the path chosen and the consequences (regardless good or bad). And I know being self responsible need lots of disciplines, courage, self-consciousness and wisdom.
