Whenever you mess up and someone suffers because of it, make sure they come out ahead, way ahead. I call the technique My Goof, Your Gain.

As Confucius said, "A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is committing another mistake."

Technique 88: My goof, your gain Whenever you make a mistake, make sure your victim benefits. It's not enough to correct your error. Ask yourself, 'What could I do for this suffering soul so he or she will be delighted I made the flub?' Then do it, fast! In that way, your goof will become your gain.
