Re: The Butterfly Effect

There is a lot of growing going on here...yours is from a mistake, but we all make mistakes.

I think what has griped a lot of people here is the fact that you are acknowledging a mistake, yet not apologizing really.

Some other really smart people have already posted some great advice here so I'll leave it with this...

If you said something in a public forum, that was devastating enough to your mentor that you feel he has lost a great deal of respect for you, you really need to rethink that statement. Even if its your opinion (which you are entitled to have), if the way you approached it is enough to cause someone to seek out your mentor, you need to rethink what your doing.

Make sure you are upset for the right reasons. Would you be feeling this way even if your mentor never found out about your comments on here? It may be easy to say 'yes' right now, but answering that question truthfully for yourself may go a long way in "growing up".
