False, because some goals people set for you are absolute nonsense.

Want a challenge? Here’s one. Transport yourself to the moon, stand on the surface for 20 minutes without a space suit or breathing apparatus, record yourself on video dancing the Macarena (the full song, not a 10-sec extract), and then transport yourself back here to Chicago alive. All within 30 minutes.

Remember, no excuses now.

No, it’s not true that there are no excuses.

I can see a boss or parent or bully stating there are no excuses! when a deadline isn’t met, or a project fails, or an error was made, or a line crossed, but they are assuming an excuse is a cowardly way to avoid responsibility.

An excuse is a plea for leniency and understanding in the face of failure or disappointed expectations. An excuse is an explanation, an attempt at mitigation, and often an apology.

If you failed to show up for a meeting or failed a test, for example, an excuse might be that you were ill. If you were ill, then the excuse has merit.

Of course there are always excuses.

But with the many type of people in the world, some excuses are valid, and some are false. Therefore, causing people to not believe your excuses.

If you stumble upon the opportunity to defend your wrongdoing with an excuse, do not expect people to sympathize with you.

For example, if you did not complete your homework or time, it was your responsibility to hold up your end of the bargain. And it is your fault because you don’t have a skill of time management.

When confronted with a situation than requires an excuse, a suggestion would be to acknowledge your mistake and apologize, not to state your excuse, which would lower your reputation in the other’s eyes.
