They Never Make Excuses

Regardless of how many excuses they make, successful people often know that it will not change the outcome. Even justified excuses don’t automatically make a project or person successful. When things go wrong, the successful person often sees it as an opportunity, not an insurmountable hurdle.

Unsuccessful people spend a lot of energy and time making excuses, blaming the economy, the customer, prices, or competition. Even if the "excuses" are all true, just complaining about it likely won't improve the outcome, and successful people know this. No matter how justified you are, try never to make an excuse for any outcome.
