In real professional world, since stakes and risks are so high one silly mistake can cost a lot.

Still we say "subhaah ka bhula agar sham ko ghar aa jata hai ussey bhula nahi boltey " (If someone is lost in terms of actions / thoughts, but later he realizes and makes oneself found in evening then not be called lost)

Debate here is - mistakes are mistakes in pro world, acceptance and making for it doesn't count. True statement?

I don't agree. In both professional and personal realm, acknowlegdement of a mistake, and taking responsibility for one need be commended. In my eyes, it raises the value of a person, especially in today's world, where people are so often willing to take credit for what is done by others, and scapegoat others when deemed fit.

It's true that when stakes are high, repercussions are big, too when something goes wrong. One needs a big 'zigar' or the heart of a lion to admit a mistake, and suffer the consequences. AT least the person will be able to sleep at night then. I assume.

That depends a lot on the profession and what loss you caused. Some mistakes are unavoidable. Some should never have been made- not even once. Some should not be repeated.

A reason why doctors pay heavily for their practice insurance? killing someone is just a mistake too! consequences are severe.

Professional traders (like our favorite DM-sattebaaj šŸ˜†) I gather are allowed to play others' millions in profits or losses ..

Once in grad school, I ordered PCR primers scale and instead of $30 bill, I incurred a bill of $ 2500. That happened with a slight spelling mistake of micro () instead of nano (n) molar .. I wondered if I would be fired.. But worked around! Dude, if one talks about professional mistake, I remember that! Different professions, different impact!

Mistakes are more often than not intentional and proceeding on that premise, I would say, if someone commits a mistake, acknowledges it, then it should be accepted.

To err is human. There can always be a error of judgement. There can always be a second line of thought, which may not always be as good as the first line of thought, but which may not be entirely wrong or erroneous.

Be it professional, be it personal, mistakes are always capable of rectification. Sometimes, we cant always turn the clock back, but if we can rectify it to the best in the circumstances, then I would say, Mistakes are natural, its not the end of the world..... and in my opinion, there is never an end of the world.

This does not encompass situations which are not Mistakes, but deliberate negligence, fully conscious of the outcome of their acts.

Hi Priya ji......

How are you.......

So, Should i feel that Sanjay Dutt's punishment is unjustified coz already he rectified, ackhnowledged and tolerated for14 years...

It was a mistake by him and i dont think he was aware of any such bombing going to happen.

Guess Gallery Ji,

I would not agree with the conclusions you draw in your last paragraph and therefore, I have to stick to what I have stated in my last paragraph.

Thanks, I am fine indeed. Hope u are fine too.

I totally agree with you Priya here. You have said it all covering all points.

To add: To those who mention professionals can't afford to make mistakes. I agree they should not. In case of doctors, do you think they don't run their business on Trial and error basis?? Even parenting job is trial and error. Most professionals have made mistake one time or the other in their life. That is why we say Err is human. Acknowledge it, accept it and do not repeat which is moving on.

Malpractice insurance are there to cover their unintentional honest errors. Licenses are taken away as last punishment. My observation only 😳

that was before they invented legal professionšŸ˜‰(sorry cant helpšŸ˜†)

In the proffessional world, the golden rule is

deny! deny!! deny!!!

If it doesnt work try to make someone else as a scapegoat

If nothing of the above works, accept mistakes in such a way that you will not face legal consequences

have been on both sides of the above equationšŸ˜† and it is not fun🤢

but kya kare "ganda hai par dhanda hai yeh"šŸ˜‰
