Mistakes make perfect

Everyone can make mistakes because we are all human. However, if we merely express our regret and carry on as before, we run the risk of making the same mistakes again. When we fail to learn from our errors, we put unneeded strain on both ourselves and other people, and we run the risk of losing their respect for and trust in us. In this post, we examine how to make sure we remember those lessons and put what we have learned to use. Before you acknowledge a mistake, you can't learn anything from it. So, take a deep breath, acknowledge yours, and then accept responsibility for it. Apologize, let those who require to know know, and let them know you're working on a fix. It takes guts to apologize, but doing so is preferable than trying to cover up your mistake or, even worse, assigning blame. Long after they've forgotten the initial error, people will remember your boldness and integrity. However, if they find out about it from someone else, your reputation would suffer and you might not have another chance to learn.
