When I have a failure at work, when I explain myself, I say that it's not an excuse, it's a reason. Then we can look at the causes of the failure and address them going forward. It's a much more productive way to handle things. If the problem is external or a process issue, that can be changed. If the problem is in my approach (and, hey, we don't always get it right first time), I can say how I will adjust that going forward. If the problem really is me, they can always let me go. That last hasn't happened so far.
