Then, I want to talk about something that really important.
Responsibility (n.)
duty to deal with or take care of somebody/something
blame for something bad that has happened
So,
responsibility comes when you agree to do something. You have the
burden to make it happen as it wishes. Somehow, it comes when you enjoy
the additional right that not everyone has. Right is something that if
you get it, it's your privilege, but it won't decrease or increase your
responsibility if you don't take it. So, when right comes,
responsibility comes also. Both of them are things that can't be
separable. For example that you get new phone from your parents. You
have right to to whatever with your phone for calling, texting, gaming,
etc. But, when you enjoy your right, you have responsibility to take
care your new phone. Take care here means that you won't let your phone
broken or whatever.
Being
responsible is not something that can be achieved easily. Well, in my
experience, I get this point from the main socialization, family. My
parents always tell me to be responsible for everything that I do. They
will warn me if I do something bad and tell which one is the better.
They tell me to keep everything that my parents give to me. I will get
punishment if I do bad things. Punishment here is not something like
violence, it's more likely like learning. Simple example when I was 1st
grade of elementary school, my parents gave me money to buy food when it
was a break time. But, in fact I didn't buy food, I bought so many toys
from school (there are many people sold toys). They were angry in that
time, then they cut my daily money for school. It gave me learning that
those money are precious, it' s really bad when you don't have much
money, so you don't have to waste your money with something useless,
such as buy toys.
As
I said before, character of the child begins at home, it depends how
the parents set the children to be A or to be B, etc. But, it doesn't
mean you can't get this point when you don't get it at home, even I
believe that every parents will give "responsibility manner" for their
children, even just a piece. The other thing you can train your
responsibility is joining organization or community, but you have to be
active in those things to improve the responsibility skill. It comes
when you are the project officer or maybe coordinator of department in
the event. You have to fulfill what the event need from the biggest
thing until the smallest thing. In other hand, you will also learn how
to cooperate with others.
Responsibility is about priority. A while ago I saw post saying this
"No one is busy in this world. It's all about priorities."
-unknown-
The
thing I can learn here is that if you have something you the most
prioritize you will have the time, regardless anything. But, somehow
people give the responsibility under the right. Example when Rina has
group assignment, but in the same time her friend ask her hang out.
Whatever the choose, the one which Rina choose is her priority. We can
see that group assignment is a must, it's a responsibility to come since
Rina one of the member. In other hand, hang out with friend is more
likely a right to hang out. Which one is more important? Which one you
choose if you were Rina?
It's
important for you to have this skill since when you work in the future,
you will handle responsibilities to fulfill. By practicing from daily
life and also from joining organization or community, you have one step
ahead. Remember, there's no institution will accept you if you don't
have responsibility skill.
