No one is perfect, which leads to the fact that everyone makes mistakes. However, depending on how you deal with your mistakes is what could earn you the respect of your boss and colleagues. Managing any possible mistakes tells more about your individual integrity and character than being the all star of the team. Accepting defeat, weighing your options, and choosing the outcome that presents the best scenario for all parties is what is important. So, instead of wasting time and energy getting upset with yourself, utilize your problem solving skills, turn it around and start working on the solution.
