Recently, I was put in charge of ordering food for my fellow band members. I always thought it was an easy job.

But I did not realise there were so many things that could go wrong. For example, I didn't consider the additional expenses for polystyrene boxes, hot drinks and other items.

My teacher was disappointed and felt I could have done better. I don't like disappointing people who expect me to do well.

Thanks for your letter, Yuen-shan. The only people in the world who don't make mistakes are those who do nothing.
