Or redefine failure as "business opportunity" or "more work".
I have people sometimes apologize for a broken/misconfigured computer, like it was their fault that somebody else decided that it was a good idea to let the default power management scheme *turn off* the network card to conserve power. When the machine was plugged into the wall.
No, it's not your fault, please don't feel badly. Hey, even the repair guys deserve an easy one once in a while. Additionally, if you didn't ever have any problems, you wouldn't have any need to call or apologize. But my children would be hungry. So don't worry. I like fixing things.
One is glad to be of service.
