If you learn something from that experience, your job wasn't bad, was good. Have success is important, everybody wanna get money and fame, but fail and learn from it is important too.

If you don't look back and think you did a bad job, it obviously means you're not improving.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was trying to get at in the post, doing a "bad job" is not doing "bad" at all.
