I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

KTE - Keep The Excuses was something I used to use in first person shooter games. I didn’t care or want your excuses. I don’t really use it much in games anymore. I don’t really respond much in general because chat and comms with people in games (particularly on the other side) can get heated. It’s best not to engage. I do hold myself to that standard of not making excuses. If I’m late to a meeting, I apologize. There could be outside factors but ultimately the fail falls on me. This is something I’m teaching my kids. You have controls over the choices you make. Being late or falling down on roller skates is on you. You apologize (maybe to yourself) and move on.
