Right now, I feel depressed. When I copied files yesterday, I missed one page. You see, the only way to solve the problem is to ask the customer for the file again to copy. But to do this, it means that you are careless and not professional. The most important is that it noly affect my own personal image. It has side effects for my company. I feel ashamed. Im speechless. I keep silent. I want call it a day but im not the BOSS. So i'd better be more careful and try to be perfect next time so that im free from mistakes. Silence and efforts are the wise choices.

Hiya edwina, Yes I was in an Office too and I made mistakes but that it all part of learning. None of us are free from making them. Don´t be so hard on yourself edwina even the Boos makes mistakes although he or she is not going to tell you are they? I would say okay I have made a mistake how can I learn from it just being a little more careful the next time. That is how I learn mine anyway I don´t bash myself up anymore. The fact that you recognize your mistake means you have the ability to grow and learn more better methods so you won´t do it again. We have all been there. I will put my hand up the first. Have I made lot´s of silly mistakes yep you can bet I have but I learn to try not to do them again but without being so hard on myself. I once disconnected an important telephone Call by mistake on the Switchboard and my Heart sort of sank but I got onto the line and explained that is was my fault and could I connect them again and they were fine with that. I had a crazy co operator who used to unplug all my Calls that I had connected sometimes and I had to make excuses. Eventually she left thank God for that. Come on Edwina cheer up a bit like everyone is saying here you are only Human.

Hiya edwina, Boo to the Boss I nearly wrote it again (grin). Glad I made you laugh. Did you sort it all out then the problem you had about the Report? Hope so. I hope they had a sense of humour too. Yes I have a great sense of Humour except that on here you can´t express it very well can you? You just take it easy and you can do things better easier said than done. You know when I am trying to get a lid off one of those pesky Jars where they stick like mad. I hold my right hand up relax it and then imagine I am doing a sort of "Bruce Lee" thing and it works everytime I have opened the most difficult lids with this "trick" of mine. It´s all about being relaxed I suppose. I let the "energy" flow down the arm and I unscrew and open the lid with ease.

Hiya edwina, See if I can make you laugh a bit instead of putting the Boss I wrote Boos lol. Anyway could´nt you type out a special report with the page missed out in there and make it look part and parcel of the Report itself? Sort of like an annex (an added on thing) I have done that too with Reports I have had to type out. Oh well I am really guessing here as I don´t know what exactly you do.

Hi, you see, im really grateful after reading the report. And, i do can't help laughing when reading the annex to the report. Very interesting and I do think you are a person of great great humorousness. Very funny joke by putting the Boss as Boos. Thank you very much! YOU SEE, you make it. lol

You just have to double checked next time, what happened has already happened no need to worry for it now, The more you feel depress the more things would likely get wrong. chin up and smile

Yes, thank you! Chin up and smile!-- I will try my best. As for double check, you are making a point here. You see, i want to do things well and fast. But i do things fast but not perfect. i should be patient to present a nice job.

Hi edwinaishappy, I know how frustrating it can be to feel depressed and make mistakes like that. I was there before. But it's very important to understand and accept the fact that no one is perfect, and we all have made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes because that what people do. Another thing to remember is that making mistakes don't make you a loser or a screw up. I though that about myself for a long time. But just focus on being the best you can be while learning from your mistakes. Don't give up.

I also feel depressed now but for a different reason. There's just one thing i wanted one person to do for me and understand me but it seems that its too difficult for that person to do it. Anyway, I dont feel inspired anymore. I dont want to deal with it anymore. I want to be selfish.

Sometimes it's difficult for that person to understand us and do something for us, cuz everyone has his or her own standby. JUST CHIN UP! You see, we are self-reliant. We can do it by ourselves. Hope you feel better.

hi edwinaishappy , how are you? your name alone says your happy. when you try to divide your name it reads edwina is happy. So i don,t think little imperfections in life would make you depressed or sad because as the saying goes we learned from our mistakes so try to get a lesson from this mistake so that you won't commit the same mistakes . Take it easy , relax and focus on your job and the most imporant thing is to love what you are doing so that it would loves you back.

Oh you missed one paper yeah I see what you mean because you always want to make no mistakes and be like a professional really good at the work. Still we are only human and even professionals sometimes make mistakes too because they aren't always perfect at what they do. So it's ok if you made that one mistake at least you are learning and you will learn that for the next time that you won't miss a single one and it will be all perfect. So don't look to down on yourself and feel happy.

I know the feeling quite well and when I make simple careless mistakes I am my worst enemy as it is so not like me to make such errors. So in an effort to cheer up I must say we are human and well we are not always perfect. Good luck with this, at least you caught the error before someone else does so that alone should cheer you up a bit.

Feeling depressed kills your energy, right? So, try to be positive! Learn from your mistakes. Try to be more careful and precise next time.

We commit mistakes for a purpose.., we didn't do it intentionally and we feel ashamed and disappointed with ourselves for doing so.., But mistakes makes us learn.., and become aware too.., It serves as an experience.., and experience has been the greatest teacher.., The important thing is.., you'll never commit the same mistake again..,=)

To err is human, but to err a 2nd or 3rd or 4th time is not. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Try not making the same mistakes again. I am sure your boss/client will understand. There is nothing to be depressed about. It might seem like easy talk, since we are not in your shoes. But the answer to this is really simple. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
