Speaker A recommends Success Is Not an Accident and argues that excuses are just whining. His core point: if someone else succeeded in the same or worse circumstances, your excuse isn't real. Stop asking why me and start taking responsibility.
I was reading this book. Anybody heard of Success Is Not an Accident? Great book. Guys, if you guys take anything from this, take this, right? 'Cause there's a lot of people that make excuses. And I don't know about you, but I don't make excuses, I don't give excuses, therefore what? We don't take excuses. And it says, whenever you think of an excuse, ask yourself if there was ever been anyone in a similar circumstance who succeeded in spite of them. When you move beyond the whining and justify, why me, why this gotta happen to me, right? You'll find that the answer is always yes. Somebody somewhere has usually had it worse than you. There's people that have it worse than you, guys.
