"There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you."
-- J.K. Rowling, Harvard commencement address.
This is potentially misleading. If you want to improve your life, discovering who you should really blame does not amount to accomplishing an instrumental goal.
I don't see how this relates to the quote, unless you're interpreting "responsibility lies with you" as meaning "you've only yourself to blame". To which I would say, well, don't do that.
