We all make mistakes
Don't you feel we all make mistakes? A mistake I have made is assuming my laptop will function properly, and if not, having a backup plan on teaching the class. Technical issues with a projector will happen, but that doesn't mean the learning time for the students has ended. Carry preprinted notes or always have a backup drive available.
Hi Bill,
Wow!! I can see how this caused embarrassment. The most important thing is that you admitted to your mistake and moved forward. What can I say, mistakes happen!

I'm a culinary instructor and the most embarrassing thing I've done is cut my finger while teaching knife skills. All I can do is laugh it off, bandage it up, and explain to the students the even with good skills, it's still possible to make mistakes. As you say: "We all make them."
Hi Andrea,
Absolutely! Do not allow mistakes to shatter your confidence, simply learn from them. Another mistake is bound to happen; we are human.

Thats right we all makes mistakes. The main things is that we try not to dwell on them. We should always remain confident even when we mess up and be ready for a comeback.
