Ravi always blames circumstances for failure and does not review his preparation. Which self-management weakness does this show?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lack of taking responsibility
Ravi’s pattern shows blame-shifting and a failure to examine his own preparation. Responsible self-management involves recognising one’s contribution, reviewing what happened, and identifying changes for the next attempt, even when circumstances also matter. Blaming circumstances alone is not good time management, positive self-assessment, or strong discipline; it blocks useful learning.
