"you better not mess up again" != "don't make the same mistake twice"
Mistakes happen... we all know that. But the article is talking more about what it says about a person who doesn't learn from that mistake. If you have made a mistake, you should be fearful of making it again. So fearful that you are compelled to figure out why/how you made the mistake and figure out how to avoid making it again.
- Suraj757 14y agoThanks, this captures most of the mentality of what I was trying to get at. However, I don't know if "so fearful" is the right mentality that I would focus on. I would turn it around and say that the intern should have enough pride in their work to be "compelled to figure out why/how you made the mistake and figure out how to avoid making it again."
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoTrue. I probably would not have used the word fearful if the parent post had not. Having pride in your work is better.
