We are not born as perfectionist. We learn things and if by chance some mistake happens, we should learn from that and should not repeat in the future. Even our seniors might have done mistakes when they were juniors.

There can not be TWO opinions about it. If it is your 'first' mistake, do admit it and make sure you do not repeat it. .

I guess once you identify its a mistake.. try and find the solution to correct that mistake and admit it...

Thanks to all the seniors for their valuable advise. What i believe is, if you are able to rectify the mistake on your own there is no need to bring it to the notice of superiorrs. Once you have realised that you have done the mistake, immediately try to resolve it.
What i have seen in personal and official life is, once you sincerely went to your senior and admit the mistake he will start lecture ship and all all all.........
Better why to make our and his/her mood off. Simply, try to rectify the mistakes thats it.
There is a very old saying that "NEVER GO TO YOUR BOSS WITH A PROBLEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM".

Wow....thanks Ash Matthew, maheshb and Nashbramhall.....
You really made me feel relieved now.......i feel lighter.
In fact i work in the customer care department of an IT Company.....and i completely forgot about a delivery of a printer which was quite urgent.
I was overloaded with work and this is the only reason i forgot about the delivery.
The client phoned back and was so angry and irritated..he said he'll complain this irresponsibilty to my GM....Thank god my GM was overseas.. he came back only yesterday and the first thing i did on his return was to admit the mistake i did.....
To my astonishment my GM said the following....You're a genius....cause to forget is the quality of geniuses.....he knew i didnt do the mistake deliberately but told me to be more cautious next time.....I didnt know my boss would be so comprehensible and understanding....i was very afraid to admit my mistake but when i read your advices i felt thats exactly what i should do.....whatever action my GM would take against me...i have to admit the mistake...and speak the truth....THANKS AGAIN ALL OF YOU....
Warm Regards

Dear Avarna,
Good Job!
This happens to most of us, we tend the forget the one important thing, not deliberately or not because we considered that to be of less importance.
Thanks for sharing the "mistake", lets call that an accident.
Good Luck to you!

As it was said - 'Err to human' , no one is exempted from committing mistakes. Number of mistakes what each one of us commit may vary. Broadly speaking, mistakes are of two kinds as I know. First category includes those mistakes which we commit knowingly and second one includes what we commit unknowingly. First category is while excuseable, second one is not. However, it is important to repent for mistakes what we do in our life. The question of repenting arises only when we accept the mistake whether it is at office or outside the office. Thus I advise you to accept your mistake always. Otherwise, you may have to make n number of mistakes further to cover mistake you are trying to disown.
