There is a proverb I can remember
of that ‘To err is human’. Error can occur any time. It is a natural part of
human character that occurs due to lacking consciousness or concentration influenced by many factors. The main important thing is how we deal with it and
what approach we take not for reoccurring. It is a good practice to acknowledge
your mistake and learn from it, not to hide and turn from it. When you will
analysis a mistake or error, you will find factors or other reasons that have influenced
the mistake to be occurred. If you can recognise the exact reason for your
mistake, then you would be very cautious next time in the same situation and would not let the same mistake reoccur again.
The mistakes, errors and irregularities that have been pointed out or informed several times are reoccurring can be defined or classified as neglect or carelessness under specific circumstance – Foisal Talukdar
