Mistake

I want to be someone's mistake.  (Not in the Superbad sense)

I read somewhere about this company (for anonymity we'll call it "Walmart"), one of the Bigwigs of this company would refer to a former employee ("Bob Dole") as "Walmart's biggest mistake."  I never got to know Bob well, but from what I understand he was a very talented, very smart employee at Walmart.  From what I was told, He got fired from Walmart because he was explaining all of the pros and cons of working at Walmart to a friend, and it got back to someone higher on the totem pole that he was talking bad about Walmart to people, so he got fired.  An enormous misunderstanding, which Walmart and, in particular, the aforementioned Bigwig has sincerely noticed.  

I came to the realization, after noticing a similar thing may happen to me in the near future, that I would really like to have such a title.  To be the one that got away, to be someone's big mistake.  Like I would like to have some girl somewhere saying "I really wish I would have said something." Or some company saying, "We really shouldn't have screwed him over."  

But the larger truth is I would probably much rather have those people's wishes come true.  I think I would much rather enjoy my life if I was working where I was needed.  And when she did say how she felt.  But I guess thats the good thing about God's will, it is often much different from ours.
