‘Humilty”; A virtue to wrap yourself in when you “goof.”

A very old friend stoutly maintains, "The only way to keep from making a mistake is to do nothing at all. That is not an option. Just don't make the same mistake a second time."

(I concur but really, really sanitized the original quote....he's an Old School Navy Chief Machinist Mate.)

Yep, thats about right. Similar to Chinese saying “a person who makes no mistakes makes nothing.”
Who doesn’t do stuff like this at some time?
