How Can Someone See Success in Failure?
Never forget what happened to this guy:
Steve Harvey, in December 2015, hosted the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas. Upon announcing the final results, he mistakenly declared the first runner-up, Miss Colombia (Ariadna Gutiérrez), as the winner.
This mistake could have marked the end of his television career, as it happened live on global entertainment networks and prominent sites during an international, glamorous event—an environment where credibility is crucial to his profession.
However, Harvey immediately recognized and corrected his mistake. Just a few minutes after Miss Colombia was crowned, he returned to the stage, admitted he had read the results incorrectly, and announced that Miss Philippines (Pia Wurtzbach) was the rightful Miss Universe.
This quick recovery and accountability earned Harvey hosting gigs for subsequent Miss Universe pageants from 2016 to 2019 and brought him multiple personality awards over the years.
So, what can we learn here?
Mistakes are inevitable, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. What truly matters is how we handle them. Sincere apologies should always be followed by immediate corrections. While expectations have risen over time, humanity has also become more forgiving.
- If you fail to meet a commitment to a client, don’t justify the mistake. Apologize and correct it immediately.
- If you forget an anniversary, don’t justify it. Apologize and correct it immediately.
This principle applies across all aspects of life—business, relationships, health, community, and beyond.
While it isn’t always easy, it’s also not that complicated.
