Ever wish you have a gadget that could just blend away the blunders that you’ve made? To be able to start over? To be given a second chance?
Sometimes, you get a second chance, sometimes, you don’t. In either case, you’ll still need to create a mental blender to shred up the blunder you’ve made, in order to move on. Maybe this blender should be part of the office supplies. Maybe we can create a ritual around the trusty old blender.
Imagine writing down your mistake, acknowledging it in front of everyone. Then ceremoniously shred the paper containing your blunder in front of everyone. You could also include a one minute silence to honour the ritual, with everyone around vowing never to repeat your blunder, and never to use your mistake against you from now on.
If you haven’t already guessed it, I recently made a blunder at work, and losing sleep over it. I’m dumping my thoughts here and hope to move forward, since that’s the only direction that time flows – forward. And now is the only time I wish time flies!
If you think this is worth sharing, do share it with your friends. Thank you for reading.

Hi, first time i read ur blog and it’s so happened to see ur post on “blunder”. It doesn’t sound good. Well, everybody makes mistake, be it at work or any other aspects in life. Take it easy. But what actually have your done? That sounds serios.
We learn from our mistakes. Let’s just try not to repeat the same ones over and over.
Even monkeys sometimes fall from trees.
Thanks to both of you. The mistake is not serious, but on hindsight, it seemed so obvious that it’s totally avoidable. Of course, if foresight does exist, I could have been a millionaire!
