Afterthoughts and Regrets
How often have you said or done something and then later, reflecting on your action, thought to yourself, "How could I have done that better?"
Here are some afterthoughts which, unfortunately, too many of us have experienced:
- "That's how we've always done it before." (?before the accident occurred anyway.)
- "I never thought that a little bolt dropped from that distance would cause so much bleeding." ( I should have worn a hard hat, I guess.)
- "If I had taken that first-aid/CPR course, I probably could have helped him." (?and chances are, he would still be here.)
- "I should have taken care of that board with the projecting rusty nails earlier." (Now, I have to take off work to get a tetanus shot.)
- "Wow, I never realized that a fire could get out of control so fast." (If I'd called the fire department before trying to put it out myself, I might still have a place to work tomorrow.)
- " I know they were always preaching that we should lift with the leg muscles instead of the back muscles." (What the heck is a herniated disk?)
- "For a few more dollars, I could have bought safety shoes." (That deep cut in the toe section ruined my new work boots, and this broken toe still hurts.)
- "My safety glasses were in the tool box, but I was just going to grind off this one little piece." ( I wonder if they'll still let me drive with only one eye?)
- "We were only going to use the scaffold for one day.
