Even if it is a shitty job, we need to do it as if it was a self assignement. Why ? I'm sure evryone told you that, so there is no news here. It is the reasons that made my understanding different.

How many time have you been correcting some truly obvious mistakes ? How many times those mistakes were yours ? Well, i would say, in my case that about 2/3 corrections are my fault. Why ? Because, i usually do my job in a hurry and i know there is someone to check ( client, at least, check evrything ). The thing is, i try to do the job fast, but the check person must interupt working several times in order to check and give me the corrections. Now when i'm doing a job on my on i check evrything and i believe i do a better job.

Having less correction is something that can ease your realationship with your client. You would feel less frustrated and he would feel confident in your skill. One years earlyer, i thougt execution and correction was an inevitable part of the job but a minor one. Now, i know it is half of the job and very important to your client relationship. Trust is evrything here and doing zero error helps.

I know, i'm reinveting the whell for all i know. I gess it is what they call experience. U need to get the old before to get the new.
