Do not make excuses

Do not blame me for all your failures,
Do not make excuses.
Don’t overlook others.
Those who blame others
Will never grasp lofty dreams!

You alone own your destiny,
Dreams cannot be reached by the hesitant.
You alone are responsible for everything,
For not finding a way out of difficulties.

If you don’t ponder on reaching your dreams,
Are others truly to blame for this?
When a person avoids responsibility,
Of course, they blame others.
