How would you handle mistakes?

Lately when I lose it with my kids I tell them "mommy is just going crazy". If it's my husband I tell him that I am getting old that my patience is just not the same. I am a very quiet person but everyone knows if I blow up it's because of something. I can't think of mistakes outside of this realm because I am not really around many people to get that close to make a mistake.

hi, when i did a mistake,first i have to hide and keep it secret because i am afraid, then many days will come i will tell the truth, and i will admit it what i did. i experienced this on my previous job.

Hello King; You are right that we are humans. Humans make mistakes. It is how we learn. Most of us, I would think. Imagine those who deny that they have made a mistake, unable to admit it and to go as far as to blame others. Hard to even fathom sometimes. As for myself, when I make a mistake, I do admit it, with ease. I am not afraid to say when I have been wrong about something or did something wrong. I will for sure try to right a wrong, whether it be to correct it or to do it all over again so that it is done right. I am one who firmly believes to do it right the first time or don't do it at all. How about you? Where are you in this?

So this is the discussion you were talking in response to my discussion, if i commit any mistake, have committed tons of them at home, at job, i admit very bravely, never hide and try to rectify myself, that has made me a sucessful man in all respects.. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.

Oh s~~t, I'm sorry! Or for children, Oh my, I'm sorry.

Mmm that's a tricky one! It really does depend on the situation, but I'd like to think I'd always go for the 'honesty is the best policy' option, even if I do try to dumb down the mistake by finding excuses. If it's something important, however, or involved other people, then I would want to be upfront about it, apologise and try to find a way to make up for it or put it right. It's far better to do what you feel is 'right' rather than easy, so that you have a peace of mind afterwards rather than feeling embarrassed about keeping it a secret or guilty for not owning up. But at the end of the day we're only human, and it's best to learn from mistakes and move on, no matter how big or small.

I just tell people that I feel a bit off this day and need to figure out what is going on. Mentally, I chalk it up as a bad experience, that I should always keep going in the back of my mind. We are human and we are bound to make mistakes. Many of them in fact. I think that in the end, we're going to make many mistakes throughout our life. I do admit mistakes, because if I don't admit them, they are bound to happen over and over, to the point of stupidity.

I think it is always best to admit our mistakes in any realationship because that will not leave room for confusion and a trust will build up. I would never want to hide my mistakes. May be I will try to hide my mistake at work if there is no other way and I know that admitting mistake may cost me too much but never in a relationship . Thank You for sharing.

I do try to admit my mistakes, whether its in work or just in everyday life. I have always been told that there is nothing wrong with making mistakes as long as you admit them, its when people try to cover up or blame someone else that the problems start. I have to say though that sometimes I dont realise when I have made a mistake, sometimes someone else will point it out to me and then I will know what I have done, which is fine, I dont mind people pointing things out to me, especially in work if they can tell me how to aviod doing it again, it is more helpful then.

haha ,it depends ,if they are not big mistakes ,just ignore it and let it go!but if it hurts ohters or it does matter!I'll face it and correct it!I 'll take response for it!it's the best way!I think! good luck!

Nobody's perfect. We are all prone to mistakes at every action. But we should not take this as an excuse for everything. When I do wrong by mistake I would face what would be the consequences are. I don't blame other people for my mistakes as I stand responsible for everything if I was the one at fault.
