Letting Down Others.

My friend was unhappy with me today over some issues that I overlooked. It is the case whereby I misjudged the importance of something to someone, and what may seem like a petty issue to me, is serious business for the other party. But all is okay though... =)
What came to mind this morning, that will probably be worth blogging about, is "Letting Down Others." It could be a case when you have performed at a high level so consistently, that when you underperform, people feel let down by your actions. Or perhaps, when you've been such a great partner for 364 days a year and on a single day you forget about major events like your first anniversary. That would be a huge let down ain't it?

(I have no idea why my command of English is so poor right now. Macam Rojak.)

So anyways, it doesn't feel good to let down others. Be it in soccer, when you let down your teammates by conceding an own goal, exams by failing miserably or not buying the loaf of bread that your mom had instructed earlier. It just goes to show how you prioritise others before self, and in a way, indicates how close you are to the person at heart.

Personally, I've let down many many people and I hope they will forgive me. To err is human, but perfection is the ultimate goal.
