No Upbraiding, Please!

Nobody likes to make a mistake. But we all make them from time to time.

Whether it’s a relatively minor error such as misspelling a word in a report or a colossal misjudgment such as failing to check for traffic when crossing the street, mistakes can happen for a variety of reasons.

Sometimes, we make mistakes when we’re rushing to complete a task. Other times, we make them because we’re distracted.

Whatever the circumstance, it’s important to recognize when a mistake happens and to take responsibility for it.

That way, you’re less likely to get upbraided (see definition and hear pronunciation below) for an error you may have made. No one enjoys that!
