Becoming Adult

One is not yet an adult when all that is right in life is a personal achievement,
but all that is wrong is another's fault.

One is not yet an adult who demands unconditional acceptance,
but commands change in others.

If one is ready to blame,
then one must also give credit and praise.

If one accepts credit,
then one must accept responsibility for fault.

If one demands acceptance,
one must be accepting of others.

If one commands change in others,
one must allow for change in self.
