How Wrong Was I?!

I called The Mumbling Guy a few days ago and he didn't respond with the level of enthusiasts(!) that I was expecting and I got both sad and angry but we decided to meet after his work somewhere close to his office on his way home. He came and he spent nearly 2 hours with me helping with my job search and interview. I was really impressed and surprised! I wasn't expecting that from him and I thought perhaps I never gave him enough credit. He's the same guy as always: Bragging about every aspect of his life but what do I care about as long as he's nice and helpful! He's a cheap bastard too but listening to the stories of his life in India, I understand where he comes from! The funny thing is even if you call him from that country, he doesn't like it. The interesting thing is he goes to India regularly, though! 
He had a few good points for my resume which I'm certain working on, would help me. He also gave me hope and told me to work on my interview skills as well and go for the job. I left him with plenty of positive things while I wanted to call and cancel it due to the distance (almost 85 Km or 52 miles round trip! There I promised myself to not only take his family to lunch, or have them over, but also buy something for them, like a gift for their home. It's not going too far away. I realized how wrong I was cutting off every one simply because they had flaws, while I have many flaws myself! Now I've stopped that but it might be too late for some. I called a schoolmate who had not received any messages from me for over 5 years. He had a short conversation but when I asked to meet him he said he'd be busy and later didn't respond to my message. Yes. I was wrong. I was wrong many times but I think I still can recover to some extent. My father used to say:  One enemy is too many but one thousand friends are not! He was a very popular person and so have I been but he stuck to the first part and I haven't! I created more!
