Just felt warmed by something this morning...
When you feel the need to complain about the way things are, remember this. There's something you could be doing right now to improve the situation.
Before you spend a lot of effort looking for someone to blame, look for ways to move things forward. Consider what you can now do to make a positive contribution.
There's little to be gained by pointing out what is wrong unless you find a way to begin making it right. Instead of dwelling on the problems, focus on the opportunities they present.
Experience how much more satisfying it is to put your energy into moving forward rather than looking backward. Even when the situation is not at all your fault, the most effective option is to take responsibility.
What's happened has happened, and no amount of finger pointing can change that. Quickly direct your attention to the many positive and valuable things you can do now.
Instead of being grumpy, be grateful for the opportunities that are now available. Choose to take positive action, and there's no limit to the real progress you can make.

I agree man, once the mistake has already occured or something has already happened, it's only constructive to think of ways to get out of the situation. However, it is still good to make clear who's fault is it, as at times, the person at fault should learn from his mistakes and not rely on others to cover up for him...that's the way i interpreted the question lah...but your point also illustrate the common case of finger pointing and stuff not getting done...very typical. At least now, hopefully more people are aware of what they can do too when shit happens...
Yup, both yongtai and puay ki are right!
For me, if a person made mistake, i'll like to know why he did it, sometimes he might have some personal difficulties that we don't know. It'll be better to speak out and let those people who are concern about him to know the situation instead of giving everyone a bad impression.
One word to summarize, be frank and honest to each other.
