We are not perfect. No one is. Of course we make mistakes ranging from trivial matters to great ones.
I remember working for a client who is very meticulous in everything. He scrutinies every word in my report, making sure I did not commit any mistake. He computes every figure, he studies the financial format, are these figures in bold letters, etc. In other words, he makes sure everything is perfect.
In one of my presentations with that client, I accidentally omitted a total of a column which made all the computations irrelevant. What a costly mistake! This should have been the final discussion and we have to redo and present again.
Sometimes these things happen. I admitted my fault and promised to be more careful next time.
Excellence should be a virtue of all working people. We are paid to do our work and we have to do it well, to the best of our ability. Let us exceed the expectations of our superiors by having an excellent mindset.
When we commit a big mistake, let us also forgive ourselves and learn from our experience. Experience is our best teacher.
Matthew 5:48 - Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.
We can never attain perfection, but when we truly try, we will be close to perfect.
