If this modern-day crack Elton John is to be believed, "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" indeed, espression of remorse can often stick in the throat like oversized croutons. They are, however, crucial to negotiating conflicts.
"Pride often holds us back from apologizing," I told my friend Andrew. "And most people have a natural tendency to defend themselves rather than admit wrong doing. It's precisely this reflex that turns disagreements into circular arguments." I suggest attempting to see the situation from other person's point of view and, "being big enough to ask yourself whether their views may be in some way justified."
I also believed that the best apologies are swift ones. The longer you leave things unsaid, the more difficult it becomes to apology."As far as phrasing is concerned." Opt for something like, "I was wrong and need to apologize for getting personal during that discussion," sincerity is paramount and "I am sorry you feel that way," doesn't count as a legitimate apology.
I adds to Andrew, that although helpful acts can add to verbal expressions of regret, this doesn't work in reverse. "The hurful deeds to be articulated. Apologies aren't about winner and losers - all parties need to feel vindicated so they can move on.....! But why can't a man, especially the older one and the succesfull one, so defficult to admit that they were wrong sometimes, why they thinks that they're too bloody perfect and right?
Lesson no 2 : Evil doesn't always frighten, in fact it can dress in the finest clothes. It is deceptive, seductive and attractive.....
So, dear friends.... that’s for today, I wish you have a good weekend and don’t get too drunks…..
