One way or the other, this serves as a key objective to create fame in one’s life. Even if we disagree with the reality, it is mandatory to accept the truth that responsibility plays a key role in keeping one’s life going. It acts as an external moving force for development in career and giving a meaning to the life we lead. Taking this into mind, our cognitive development bodies together discovered divisions for responsibilities.
Among them, 5 stands at the premium position to balance with living strategies.
- Direct Responsibility
- Command Responsibility
- Personal Responsibility
- Custodian Responsibility
- Supervisory Responsibility
Besides, according to the Asrama system and Dharma concept from Ethical theories of Indian Philosophy, there is a framework of four available ways of living in life. But, for our convenience, recent psychologists have modernized the ways of living with 5 typical stages i.e.

One can understand the vitality of responsibility in each stage of life by comparing both stated semblances.
To be more specific,
1. Direct Responsibility — Childhood Life — Follow, Assist:
This is the stage from our birth to the age up to which we depend on our parents for our personal work despite the economic aspect. It is the stage where we are supposed to follow the words of our parents. The responsibility here is being a good child for our parents adopting good habits in all terms. Frankly, this is the stage in which one doesn’t even know the meaning of responsibility for which we need parent’s assistance. Hence, this can be said as the age where parents are supposed to habituate these to the children and make them follow with their adequate responsible behaviour. At this stage, parents are said to be directly responsible for all the inbuilding actions of their children.
2. Command Responsibility — Adulthood, Student Life — Apply, Enable:
This part of life is referred to as the transition stage where one will be in confusion as they are in growing age. As we know, one tends to experience different kinds of mental, physical, and emotional instability. Once we get used to responsibility in our childhood, we can automatically apply the same to this stage also. Here, teachers, as well as parents play the key role in shaping their lives. The one in this age need a helping hand to enable their views in which their part will be 60%, teachers’ part will be 30% and parents’ part will be 10%. As the time spent in schooling is more, teachers can shape the career with their commands for making them the responsible citizen.
3. Personal Responsibility — Employee Life — Adopt, Ensure:
This is the stage in which one needs to take their own decision in all aspects including self-care. Regardless advice, no one will extend their support in sharing one’s own responsibility. As employees, we are supposed to work to the fullest, treating the organization as our own. This is where generally people hesitate to take the task on their shoulders. Adoptability in this stage is tough and we will have individual and peculiar responsibilities to be fulfilled. Despite all the surrounding environment, we should be ready enough to deal with the consequences of our own work in as much as it is personal. One should always ensure to strive, explore the world and work towards their goals for having the dream career without taking gender as a constraint.
4. Custodial Responsibility — Partner Life – Integrate, Initiate:
The responsibility of this stage is referred to as the position of guardianship. Subsisting as a life partner, one is alleged to balance and integrate both family and work lives. This is the phase people try to give up but need to withstand with. There are some aspects one needs to initiate and fulfil being a wife or husband such as mutual understanding, mutual trust and respect, personal monetary issues, emotional well-being of each other etc. which are crucial in creating custodianship for sure. One should believe that family relationships are as important as individual personal life and are meant to serve necessity in terms of conduct.
5. Supervisory Responsibility — Parent Life — Inspire, Mobilize:
As stated by Nehruji, “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of our country”, One should understand that they are designing the mindsets which are going to rule the nation. As everyone believes, parenting is not as easy as one thinks. Inspite of developing the behaviour required to us, it is always better to induce the character that contribute for the society. This is a significant stage for inspiring upcoming generations. This complete scenario lies in a parent hand and there is a specific charge to supervise the child not to divert towards wrong path and in all terms till the end of our lives, by which we can get the intensity of the responsibility one have at this stage. Here, one become a mentor, role model for mobilizing the future. Accordingly interlinking both – ways of living and responsibilities of life, we get the conclusions for “RESPONSIBLE WAY OF LIVING” in life. And finally, responsibility is a quality which gives eligibility to create an opportunity for being almighty and acquiring clarity in making life pretty to infinity.
