Al Duncan Keynotes Christmas Event For At-Risk Teens

MARIETTA, GA –  The room at the Paper Mill Grill in East Cobb was overflowing recently with seasonal good cheer as OK for Youth mentors and their spouses talked with their teenaged mentees. Many of the at-risk teens were dressed in suits and festive attire, ready for a special dinner and a message from one of their favorite speakers Al Duncan. Al is a genius at keeping his young audience laughing and attentive, while delivering a poignant message, not easily forgotten. His intensity, he says, comes from his own life experience, which strengthens his unique connection to youth.

This special Christmas Dinner was the 7th for Opportunity Knocks for Youth. The organization of some 25 mentors works with at-risk teens, mostly in Cobb County…

[VIDEO+ACTIVITY] Duncan Nugget #330: Blame Is Lame

Here’s a cool little story about blame. Maybe you’ve heard it before.

“This is the story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody knew that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody, so Everybody blamed Somebody. And nothing got done.”

Unfortunately, there was a time in my life when I blamed anything and anyone else, except for myself, for my lack of success. Not cool.

You cannot blame your way to success.

Personal responsibility is required. Blame is the arch enemy of personal responsibility. Therefore, blame is lame.

Million-Dollar Question:
Do you choose blame or personal responsibility?
