Being the mistake-prone humans we are, I think most of us can only put our best foot forward and aspire to be the type of person described above.

Devin, interesting insight into human behavior.... I wonder how we can minimize our "mistake-prone"ness or if we can't then is it part of the human experience and therefore a pathway (+ or -) in our evolution as a species?... Mr. A
I think we can only reduce our mistakes by a small fraction. Making mistakes is essential to learning. Failure opens our eyes more to our faults and errors along the way than success, in which we get blinded by our pride and egos. I think mistakes can be a step on the evolutionary ladder, yeah.
