How many times have you become annoyed with someone who turns up with excuses rather than the results required? With some people this becomes their pattern and we have no choice than to start distanting ourseleves from such people.
As a forward thinking, upwardly mobile person, you do not want anybody to classify you into such a category. The track record you want to have is a track record of consistently getting the job done. No matter what it might cost you.
It is all about delivering results, not excuses.
Another handy trick is to conceal all the extra effort it took you to deliver the seemingly miraculous results. You do not get to brag about how you havent slept in 72 hours or how many people you had to cajole or how your brilliance saved the day. Just shut up and show us results.
This issue is one of those fundamental ones that go a really long way to advance our life.
Do good stuff,
