We are humans，and we all make mistakes. The mistakes that we make are not usually on purpose，whether it is breaking a vase，or not completing a task.【小题1】This article will provide you with ideas as to what to do once a mistake has been made. Admit that you make a mistake as soon as you discover it. Delaying it longer will only make you feel worse，or may drive you toward making the wrong decision to try and cover it up. 【小题2】 Do not play the“blame game"．Most people are smart enough to realize that this is just a poor attempt to protect yourself. Perhaps you gave a task to another person and it was never completed. But is it really the entire fault of the person you gave the task to or is it partially your fault for not following up? Keep this in mind before placing the blame on someone else. 【小题3】Maybe you broke your mother's favorite vase，or even forgot a friend's birthday. Just an apology can sometimes be viewed as a“quick fix"，and apologizing and asking to be forgiven gives the person opportunity to forgive you. Offer some compensation（补偿）for loss，damage，or injury caused. 【小题4】 By doing this，it may soften the blow to the person we've disappointed. Learn from your mistakes. In the case of a job or a task，write a“to-do" list with the deadline before leaving the meeting. As for forgetting a birthday，put the birthday on an electronic calendar for next year. Do better next time. 【小题5】We should try to understand what happened and try to make sure that it won't happen again.
A．Take responsibility.
B．Never repeat your mistakes.
C．Apologize and ask for forgiveness.
D．People’s faith in us can reduce quickly.
