Mistakes

I remember when I joined my first job, I cheekily asked my boss if there was room for error. He very sweetly answered that ofcourse there was, but not always and all the time and that I took to my advantage. I made so many mistakes throughout my stint at the firm and not once did he scold me. He simply told me in the best manner that he could, that I should be more careful the next time.  I learnt so much through this one dialogue that he said.

Less than a year later, I have begun to realise the importance of what he was trying to tell me. He bore the brunt of all my mistakes but not once did he make it sound like that. Today,  when I made a very huge professional mistake in my academics and I cant help it but think about him. Its all about mistakes, realisations and learning from them.

I will never forget him and what he taught me. I also hope to be able to overcome these mistakes.
Thanks AJ. For everything.
