Mistakes

WILLFUL BLINDNESS

Have you ever wondered why we have the tendency to ignore or deny truths until they overwhelm us?

Mistakes As Teachers

Dear Neil:  Could you talk about why I keep thinking about various mistakes I’ve made over the years?  Most of us cringe whenever a mistake of ours is discovered.  It causes embarrassment, so we try to cover up our errors any way we can.  Sometimes I think of mistakes that I made years ago that I still feel intense embarrassment and shame over.  But if anybody calls attention to a mistake I’ve made, I get defensive and angry.  Why is this happening?  What can I do about it?
