Lesson learned: one tiny mistake, one overlook can lead to a major deal break
If things were to go as planned, the customers would have been happy. However, because of my mistake of not writing down the Suite number for our company address, a deal may be broken. Our customer's impression of us may be extremely bad, just because of my mistaken.
I was careless. There is no question to it. No excuse at all.
So many people's efforts seemed to be erased because of this faulty wrong. Chasing down packages, making sure everything gets there on time, all that effort to make sure everything was done correctly, I single handedly ruined it.
I should apologize to all staff who have supported this project. Sometimes I wish Eric wasn't my dad's friend, so he can fire me and yell at me. Right now, I would like to fire myself from the company. I did such a wrong doing that I cannot let myself stay, to cause much more trouble. However, before I decide, I need to make some conclusions:
What did I learn from this "little" mistake? What should I do in the future to prevent it? It is not the first time something like that has happened. Because of my quick assumptions and carelessness, I could have ruined many projects a long time ago.
1. Not only is it the address problem that I must watch out for. I need to pay attention to detail; be meticulous about things. Carelessness is not tolerable in this world. I have learned my lesson the hard way, actually the very hard way. In some ways, I still feel like a child, and slowly, I'm coming out of my cocoon into adulthood. In many ways, my mental age does not fit my actual age number. I feel that I am 20 years old trying to get to know the world better.
You'd better wake up soon, Maria
2. I must remind, or make a list of what is to be done, to train myself to be more careful. I cannot accept the fact that I am careless and leave it be. I need to pay attention to minor details about corners, numbers, little spots on the table. I was so used to not paying to these details that made these mistakes. I must understand when I'm most vulnerable to make a mistake. When I know that, I need to think about when not to make the same mistake again.
I must improve.
Should I quit, as a punishment to myself, as a drive for me to find a true job? But then again, if I can't do a good job here, where else can I do a good job? Where should i start?
