#how to apologize

 


To err is human.  We all make mistakes on a daily basis. Some are unnoticeable. Those that leave a scar on others haunt us. 

We have learnt to say 'sorry' to our loved ones whenever we realize our mistakes. But does our "sorry' pacify those whom we have have hurt? Not, I we repeat the same mistakes. Also, there are people who believe 'sorry cannot make a dead man alive'.

How do we.apologize for mistakes that hurt others ?

  • Accept your fault
  • Say you regret for causing harm 
  • Specify what you will do to avoid it in future
  • Show the change you are working on
