ABC method of handling mistakes:
A -- Acknowledge your error and accept responsibility for it. Don't
try to fix the blame on other people or circumstances. When you fix
the blame, you never fix the problem.
B -- Be gentle with yourself. The game is only half over. This is not
the first mistake you ever made, nor will it be the last. You are
still a good and caring person. Besides, later you may laugh at the
blunder, so try to lighten up a bit now.
C -- Correct it and move on. Correcting mistakes may also mean to make
amends, if necessary. "Those who are wise don't consider it a blessing
to make no mistakes," says Wang Yang-Ming. "They believe instead that
the great virtue is the ability to correct mistakes and to continually
reinvent oneself."
