Culture of victimhood

Jeff Jacoby gets it right in his column on the culture of victimhood.

I've always thought that my success or failure was the result of my own actions. I try to never make excuses about why I didn't succeed in my endeavors. I freely admit that I'm not as successful financially as I could be or whatever in life because I didn't make a strong enough effort, and I know that if I truly wanted something, I'd make it happen. It's a shame that so many choose to blame others for their failures in life.
