Ziad K. Abdelnour Quotes
If you make a mistake, don’t spend precious time and energy trying to deny it or point the finger at someone else. Be a leader and own it, then spend your time and energy fixing the problem.

None of us is perfect. But the difference between success and failure is how you handle that mistake.
