Sorry Again? Try harder.
October 2, 2008 by dwataolife
I remembered when I started working after I graduated, I had some problems with my boss then. I got reprimanded for making mistakes, but thing is, I was green then. So I only know they were mistakes until I got reprimanded. Well, I guess everyone started out like that. But I still remember what Uncle Guni told me. He said it is ok to make mistake, but if you make the same mistake the second or third time, then it is not tolerable. It seemed like commonsense, but at that time, his words were engraved in my mind and I had made an effort to remind myself whenever I can.I guessed because I reminded myself too much of that caution notice, it somehow integrated into how I socialise with other people. I always try to overlook the mistake the first time, give chance the second time and try to forgive the third time. But, if one made the same mistake so many times, I will only think that either 1) You are too stupid to learn, 2) You just want to irritate me or third, the most likely one, that you were never sincere in your apologies and you can’t be bothered much.
I can tolerate stupidity if I sense sincerity. However, if one is insincere, it will be my OWN STUPIDITY if I continued to ignore with grace.
