Best to learn from other's mistakes or even imagined ones - says wise man who makes few mistakes.

Today. sending a mail to the wrong office, they called and ask what the reason for the mail, that is when it becomes clear it was a mistake.
Solved by explaining the reason for the mail, and the wrong address was entered before sending it.
That errored mail will cost 500 Norwegian kroner (55 USD) But not a big deal.

I think certain people are too proud to admit they can be wrong sometimes.

Au contraire
..I am a person who says Sorry all the time...it is very liberating, it makes you live at peace with yourself.

Well it was work-related and was to a boss that kind of should not see the content of the email, confidential content, and those things are strick here. the mail was not encrypted either (should have been)
So yes it is pulled from salary

Which people?

Which people?

People, in general, seem embarrassed when doing a wrong deed, The question is, why do people get ashamed, embarrassed and so by something that turns out to be wrong?
It is the action, word or thought that was wrong not the "person/self"
If ego was taken out of the equation it is the only action that leads to the misunderstanding, wrong deed or understanding, not a personality.

The question is, why do people get ashamed, embarrassed and so by something that turns out to be wrong?

Because they do not feel secure in their relationships.

Sorry I don't see it as quite that generalised, as most people I know see mistakes as a fact of life, much like the weather or death. But in the case of people who can't admit it, I'd call it ego, yes. And ego comes from insecurity. Perhaps they were yelled at for making mistakes as children.

I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong.

I remember that. Boy, was I wrong...

 

[dybmh]

I remember that. Boy, was I wrong...

At least you thought about what you did.... and why it was wrong, young man.

 

[sun rise]

When people are children they make mistakes all the time. They learn by trial and error. The wisest people keep that trial & error learning even as adults. But too often that sense is lost and people no longer can learn that way.

Actions (choices) have consequences. Bad choices tend to bring bad consequences. So we tend not to want to make bad choices.
