Oops!

Sometimes things go wrong, in this case a gale force overnight wind and "Oops! Shame about the fence!" Thankfully, nobody was hurt. But it has made me think, we seem to live in a time when if something goes wrong we look for someone to blame. You can't watch satellite TV without being overwhelmed with adverts for that special company that can get you money because of an accident, too be honest I've even had a successful claim after an accident. Accidents happens, things go wrong, cameras break down, we fail to deliver whatever it is we promised, moral lapses occur, etc. The issue is not that these things happen, and please God don't let me fall, but what we do about it when they do. Ruthless honesty, deal with it right away, if you've let someone down then tell them as soon as possible. Cover-ups get us nowhere, most people understand that "things happen" what they don't like is being conned! So in business or life, best case, don't let things go wrong, if they do, confess them and manage them quickly!
