Aristotle said, “it is not once, nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.” Irrelevant of your role, CEO or President of a nation, you will make mistakes. It will happen. As Einstein said, “a person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new.” So how is it one could be so foolish or stupid to think you would either not make a mistake or not take responsibility for it? How pompous and arrogant can one nation or person be? No one can tolerate deceit. What’s wrong with making mistakes? What’s bad about them? I have the learned the most in my life from the mistakes I have made. Even Aristotle said, “the fruits of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” Did George Bush cheat his way through history class? Is that the problem? Because I cannot figure out for the life of me how so many smart people take dumb pills. Which part of understanding the cause and effect of denying your mistakes do you not get? You lose credibility and become what? A liar.
