When you have made your mistake, when you know that you have done wrong, or that you are wrong in the stand that you have taken, don't dig yourself into a deeper hole. And don't sit down to scold yourself. Get up, face the music. Admit to yourself, and to the world, that you have erred, then set out to do all in your power to set things right, to do right, and to be right. You can never give your best performance if you are mad at yourself, or if you are mad at the world. You cannot apply your talents and energy to a job that needs doing if you are busy berating yourself for something else you did wrong, or cursing others for things they have done that do not suit you. To be a friend, you must learn to forgive yourself and to learn from your mistakes. You must also learn to forgive others, remembering that, as humans, are also somewhat imperfect. ' .
