At school, you have gradually understood the importance of a well-developed
sense of responsibility. You accept that you are responsible for your successes and
your failures. Hopefully, you have learnt to treat responsibility not as a weight
that burdens you, but rather as a foundation which will support your future
development. A ship without an anchor is at the mercy of the waves and winds;
likewise, a person who has no sense of responsibility is at the mercy of their own
careless and thoughtless behaviour.
