One mistake and 10 achievements?

People seem to remember a person mistake instead of his 10 achievements. Assuming each mistake and achievement carrying the same weight. Agree or disagree?

What will you do when u make a mistake? Do you go try to cover your mistakes, do you admit it and try to learn from there, do you rebel and push mistakes to others? What will you do? Will other’s laughter and name calling affect you when you make a mistake?Open disucssion.

I have always made mistakes in my life and I try not to be shy when i make one because i always tell myself to learn from mistakes. Sometimes I DO make mistakes twice. It happens. And seriously it make me look like an idiot. Should i learn how to cover my mistakes, try to talk away things, push mistake to others, or is it appropriate to admit it? If i am to admit it what is a wise way to do it without looking like an idiot?
