"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one"
~~George Washington~~
We all make mistakes. The problem isn't so much making mistakes as the lengths to which we sometimes go to defend ourselves when we make them.
However deep the hole that making the mistake has put us in, it just gets deeper the more we try to explain ourselves. If we would simply say, "I was wrong" and move on, we wouldn't waste so much of our time and energy, and the people round us would respect us more.
* I will try to calmly admit any mistakes I make today ... and then move on *
