"Oh, nothing. My dad thought of it while he was shaving."

Off the bat, bonus points if you can tell me what movie that's from.

So, I consider myself to be a pretty able person. I have a lot of sortcomings, I know (one of them being reaching for the "h" on my keyboard), but as a whole, I'm good at stuff.

It seems, though, that no matter how good you are at something, you will inevitably screw up at it real good once in a while.

Take shaving, for instance. If you're a man and not Amish or a rabbi, odds are you'll be doing some shaving in your lifetime. Since I've started shaving, I'd say I've shaved somewhere in the ballpark of 70 times. By now you'd think I should be a pro at it, right?

Not right. Not right at all.

You see, shaving is a tricky thing... no, no, I probably fooled a single person into believing that right now.

But does me nicking myself on the jaw while I'm shaving make me stupid? It doesn't make a good case for me, no, but the fact is that even in something as mundane, routine, and simple as shaving, you are going to make a mistake now and then, even if you're being careful.

So if you screw up now and then, don't worry about it. In the big picture you're going to be just fine, even if you are a screw-up.
