Although it's a bit disappointing, it has happened. So, let's not keep recalling whether we should have done things that way in the past.
Move forward, finish the things we need to do as soon as possible, and don't keep procrastinating any longer.
For future actions, just do them quietly. There's no need to make a big fuss and tell others about it, because it's your own business, not someone else's.
So, as the saying goes, "Things are accomplished in secrecy; they fail when disclosed." This is truly the case.
