Perhaps that sounds like a two-year-old grabbing at a toy and yelling, “Mine!”
It might seem strange, but sometimes I wish more adults would say, “Mine!”
Of course I’m not talking about the immature grabbing at toys. But I AM talking about a sense of personal ownership for the “stuff” that is in our own sphere of influence.
Think of it from the standpoint of a consumer. You make a purchase, and then have a problem. You go to someone for help, and their response is, “I’m sorry: I can’t help you. That’s not my job.”
