To Err is Human

I sometime wonder whether we really believe it...If that was the case, every error would be called a goof up. Rather we have hundreds of synonyms for it,that even clarify magnitude of the same-- error, mistake, defect, blunder.....and no one laughs them off unlike a goof up. Computer age has brought another word to describe the same (as if there were less already)- bug. And in my coding days, we used to say, "However hard you test the solution, at least one bug will still remain". I guess that is true in life as well. We will always keep on making mistakes. What is worse that the Error Class has so many objects in it that, even if we were to never repeat it, it will still last us a life time. Sometimes it is the caution that we use to prevent repetition of a previous mistake that leads us to another. Don't you sometimes wish we had the eraser to rub off the bad lines

We have all made mistakes, sometimes as small as errors, some time as big as blunders. Sometimes, ages later, blunders seem like goof up and sometimes even errors seem like blunders depending on how they affect our life or that of others.

With the cricket fever on, I could not help wondering what goes on in the mind of a batsman when he gets out or when a bowler is hit for a six.

So every time I make a mistake ( am already thinking that writing this post was a mistake) , I am going to think of Sachin getting out on duck and not care too much about anything else.
