MAKING MISTAKES AND REALISING THEM

I was recounting about last night's incident where my bro had eaten my dinner unknowingly. I say, he just didn't bother.

I had heated dinner, went to my room, closed the door. I came back out half hour later only to find him to exclaiming 'eh, the food for you ah?' I'm like.. wtf?!?! :S As if the food miraculously heated up itself. His defence was that he thought mother had heated up the food. I'm like :S Well, throughout the whole conversation he never admited fault or NOT shurgged it off with an excuse or reason. I say, it's cos he didn't bother finding out. And besides, there were no indications my mom was back either. Her bags were no where in sight. Bloody arse.

And when I bring up the time he ate my breakfast, it just went past unnoticed while he started a conversation with my mom.

My bro is someone who rarely comes out in the open and says his sorry nor does he admit a mistake. I know who few people who are like these. Maybe all of us are this way. I think I was this way when I was with Y. That's probably why at times, she exclaim that I always want things my way.

I looked at my bro and people like him. I realise they always have a way of explainin themselves out of the situation. And at times, that's a good thing. But on a personal level, somehow, nothing is learnt. Granted, we could give them the benefit of the doubt that after the incident, they sit down and think things through about what just happened. But seriously, I don't think that's a very natural instinct.

During my work overseas last year, I don't think i was very susceptiive to feedback from my colleague. In fact, more than often I was defensived. End of the day, i don't think I learnt as much as I needed or could.

I'm not sure if anyone is like what I mentioned but if you are, keep yourself in check. When we start excusing ourselves for our shortcomings, we never learn to get out of it and improve.
