Remember there was a bedtime story for children about "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" (i hope i got the title right). Basically it's about a boy who was looking after his sheep (i think he's a shepherd). He's a prankster actually. So one day, to entertain his boredom, he simply called out for help that there is a wolf attacking his sheep. So the villagers came to help but only to found out it was just a prank. The shepherd had a good laugh.
He did that the second time AGAIN. At this point, the villagers were pretty annoyed.
Then on the third occasion, a WOLF actually came and he cried out for help and nobody bothered to come because they think it's just another prank by the shepherd. So one of the sheep died.
Moral of the story : don't be an irritating prankster.
Okay, the real moral of the story is that once you LIE, nobody will really believe you. People's trust in you will deteriorate with every lie you made. And when you actually tell the TRUTH, nobody will actually believe you. And you only have yourself to blame for that.
I'm retelling you this story is because when it comes to work, you need to built a good reputation. Don't commit too many mistakes, don't give the lazy-i-don't care-attitude and always come on time. Because one day, when you make a "mistake" when in fact the mistake wasn't caused by you, nobody will believe in you because previously you have made too many mistakes. Quoting my boss, "victim of circumstances". This kind of thing do happen and the cause of it? You are simply UNLUCKY.
