Doing What is Necessary

At home, at the office, you take care of your day-to-day life... I'm sure you have had the following experience:

Some important work needed to be done and EVERYONE was asked to help.

EVERYONE was sure that SOMEONE ELSE would do it.

ANYONE could have done it, but NO ONE did.

So SOMEONE got very angry because the work was meant for EVERYONE.

But EVERYONE thought SOMEONE ELSE could have done it...

And NO ONE doubted that SOMEONE would.

In the end EVERYONE blamed SOMEONE because NO ONE did what ANYONE could have done.

Why keep hoping that someone else will do what you are supposed to do? Experience teaches that if you wait for someone else to do your work, you'll never find anyone and the work doesn't get done.
