...And Mistakes Made Along the Way: A Memoir by Fred Beauford - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Most people hate to admit to mistakes, especially the personal kind which could call into question the very essence of who they are, and how their personhood measures up to others. They have learned the hard lesson that others are just waiting to pounce, with unforgivable ferocity, when they point out a personal lapse in good judgment on their part: “Oh no, I must say, with no disrespect intended, but even you must admit that that was pretty dumb. That wouldn’t have been me. I learned long ago not to do something so obviously foolish.”Ouch, and double ouch!Speaking of the obvious, it is quite apparent from a statement like that, that we human beings obviously love one-upping each other and casting our own fragile existence in the most favorable light—auteur filmmakers of our own lives, if you will.
