In our next life we can be perfect.

In this one we get to be human.

Humans make mistakes.

Sometimes the most serious consequence is the "oops moment."

It's when we embarrass ourselves and maybe those around us.

It's often very difficult not to laugh with the oops.

When it happens, we clean up any corresponding mess, cut ourselves some slack and learn from the experience.

Of course any friends, staff, clients or co-workers who witnessed our moment will continue to enjoy our "oops" for many years to come.

See more "Oops Moments" here.

On This Day In History - May 22nd
1843

Some 1,000 pioneers begin their journey to America's West Coast via the Oregon Trail , a 2,200-mile wagon road spanning half a continent from the Missouri River to the Willamette Valley in the future state of Oregon. Upwards of 400,000 more emigrants will follow its wheel ruts west in the coming decades.

1960 

magnitude 9.5 earthquake, the most powerful in recorded history, rocks the southern coast of Chile for more than 10 minutes, killing thousands, causing massive landslides, triggering volcanic eruptions, and spawning tsunamis so enormous that they cause 61 deaths in Hawaii.

1980 

Japanese company Namco introduces 'Puck Man,' an arcade maze game based on the idea of eating. Introduced months later to the US and renamed

' Pac-Man ,' it will grow in popularity to become the most famous, most
profitable, and some say most influential, arcade video game ever released.
1992
Late-night legend Johnny Carson signs off after 30 years of hosting 'The Tonight Show.' His final show features no guests, focusing instead on clips
and remembrances from Carson, sidekick Ed McMahon and bandleader
Doc Severinsen . Jay Leno will take over the show, but not without some controversy .

Since 1983!
  A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of small business development conducted by the
 Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.

With our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, to date we've worked with 51,476 people, generating 44,106 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues exceeding one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator and co-working space, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the country with residency space and the Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions.

Further, Co-Op companies have won virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some nationally and some even internationally.
 
Further, it was our Entrepreneurial Research Division that conclusively demonstrated "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally, commencing entrepreneurial classes and courses.
