Respect and Accountability Matter

In Bill Simons’ article called Serena’s Storm (Oct. 2011 issue of Inside Tennis), he wrote, “Serena doesn’t understand the importance of accountability. She just won’t own her actions, let alone reflect on them.” Then he goes on to write, “Will she ever learn? For obviously, no matter who you are – star or bum, millionaire or pauper – respect and accountability matter.”

Even if you aren’t a tennis fan and aren’t familiar with Serena’s notable behavioral outbreaks, Bill is right in that respect and accountability do matter if you want to have the kind of success you truly desire.
