Moral of the day

Recently i've come across a friend of mine(to avoid from being sued, i've always opted to refrain from giving out names, and no, not even gender), who's currently working in a company. One day, the said person (TSP) applied for leave for a few days and upon returning to work, TSP landed into deep trouble. To cut it short, TSP's superior was being grilled for the mistake TSP did and the customer threatened to bring this matter to court as he was furious that he might be black listed by the government. Upon checking with relevant parties, TSP's superior assured to the customer that he'd only be warned. "Phew" i think that's the only word TSP could spill out at that time, citing a sign of relief. But that's not it. Back in office, knowing that TSP is at fault for the mistake, the supervisor began talking bad about TSP. By lunchtime, the whole staff knows about it, well, atleast not to the upmost level of management. That's it. When you're in corporate world, your mistake will be magnified.

And so TSP felt terrible and began to apologize to the supervisor, whom eventually appeared to be a very forgiving bloke. What i'm trying to tell is that although the world is deemed to be very harsh, ppl appear to be very forgiving towards young working adults. No matter how wrongly you handle a situation you seem to always be able to walk away with nothing more than a minor lecture. Try to do that when you can no longer cheat your way to a student-priced movie and i bet with my neighbour's car your sorry 'behind' will be deeply grilled and you yourself will be crucified before dusk.

Moral of the story: Make as much mistake you can while you're young, and learn how not to repeat them (not forgetting the magic word "sorry" after you've experimented with a situation which failed)
