    Oops! Handling Mistakes

    It is all to common to make a mistake. Someone once said the difference between a professional and an amateur is how they handle their mistakes.

    Well, part of my day has been spent mulling over a mistake that was made while trying something different.

    Oops!

    Here are the actions that came to mind.

    1. It depends on purpose, client, use, etc.
    2. Repair if possible or necessary.
    3. Conceal the mistake and keep quiet.
    4. Start over.
    5. If it doesn’t weaken or make it ugly, let it slide.
    6. Leave it as a reminder to pay more attention next time.

    This poll is set to allow multiple choices. Not sure how that will work.
