Successes should never be kept out from one's porfolio, worng and right decisions are part of managing a business. I always keep in mind the motto of my former boss that if you are compelled to make a decision, always make it on the SAFE SIDE. Past decisions whether right or wrong should be treated as a learning experience for your future endeavors.
