The Self-Serving Bias: Success Is Me, Failure Is YouWhy we take credit for wins but blame others for losses.

We tend to attribute success to our own skill but blame failure on external forces. This cognitive bias protects our ego but can blind us to our own mistakes, preventing us from learning and growing. It can even lead well-intentioned people to justify unethical actions without realizing it. Understanding this bias helps us see our actions more clearly, take responsibility for our setbacks, and recognize when we are simply making excuses.
