“Everybody has bad judgment starting out as a grown-up. We’re not born with good or bad judgment. It’s something we have to develop. We learn it by the hard knocks of experience. People don’t want to think you never made a mistake, because there is no such thing. They want to figure you learned something from it. If you lie to make people think better of you it’ll always backfire. Because then they just figure anything could be true in your life and they’d never know it, because you’d never let it show. You want somebody to respect you? Tell ’em you messed up.
