Why Do You Apologize For A Mistake?

[smartslider3 slider=3]

mistakes

It is a small but big world, and we as humans are bound to make mistakes one way or the other, but the question is, do we have to apologize for our mistakes, and why if we need to?

Someone told me once that perfection is far from us as humans, and It’s why we make our mistakes sometimes.

Sometimes we make mistakes and refuse to acknowledge or accept that we are wrong because we don’t consider or accept the fact that we have made a mistake, or sometimes our ego gets over us, and we stubbornly refuse to apologize.

Is there a problem when we refuse to acknowledge our error?

I don’t think so, but the fact remains that we might repeat the same mistake next time if we don’t take responsibility for our actions.

There are categories to making mistakes, some people make mistakes knowingly, and some make them unknowingly, but what do we do when we are in this kind of situation?

When we make mistakes, do we say, “I AM SORRY?” which, in my opinion, is the proper thing to do.

You will realize that you have made an error, and be conscious of not making that mistake next time. It is always a good thing to apologize if it involves another party.

As we all know, many people do not plan on mistakes or errors, but sometimes too much stress could be a reason, which sometimes could be caused by lack of concentration or focus.

Mistakes happen in different environments such as at home, work, school, business places, and more, and a variety of situations can warrant mistakes.

A leader who refuses to accept that they are wrong would always lack confidence from the people around him. The reason why he never accepts his fault and mistakes is due to pride and ego.

It is always a good thing if anyone can accept their fault, to avoid guilt or fear, especially when you did something wrong in the office by misplacing a file for a meeting or mistake anywhere else.

The best thing to do is to let your boss know immediately, and apologize for it indicates your humility.

I am sorry always communicates respect, and this might be the best time to get the best advice and concerns from your boss. I am sure it will help against the same mistake next time.

My question is, should a manager, friend, acquaintance, and any other person apologize for their mistakes? I will say yes.

From my point of view, this also includes all the challenges of our lives. What have we faced in our relationship, love life, and other aspects of our lives? What are our achievements and losses, and what do we stand to gain at the end of the day?

This is a life cycle, and when it comes to our goals, where do we really stand to achieve them? As accountants, bloggers, creators, and doctors, we want to be the best in our work. The best parents, the best husbands, the best lovers, and so on. But do we go through this process of being the best by being lazy or procrastinating all the time, working hard and dedicated to what we do, or living a life of no value to us?

I believe being focused and doing better things that will project us as good and better role models for ourselves, our families, children, and neighbors alike would be the best way to go and How to Achieve Our Goals, thereby making us the best in our different fields of interest as bloggers, writers, engineers and whatever profession we are in and this all circulates or revolves round our careers, family, friends, romance, fun, recreation, health, money, personal growth and our environment.

There are a lot that need consideration when it comes to improvement and progress in our lives:

1. We need focus and dedication in whatever we do.

2. Nothing is as good as committing ourselves and determining what steps to take to satisfy our areas of life. Especially in our business, career, studies, health and fitness, finance, social life, friends, family, love life, recreation and fun, contribution to society, and personal growth. Hence, we need fulfillment in various aspects of our lives, and this all comes from hard work, dedication, focus, taking action, and doing the best we can to get where we want.

What Do you Need to Be a True Friend

True, and real friends are hard to find these days, but they are always there at the corner. When you find one, try your best to keep that friendship, and there are many factors that you need to keep that relationship. 

The quality you need is being a real friend, and the values of a true friend always come from the heart.

Looking out for a good friend is a process, and for you to do so, you need to appreciate and show them the care and love they need all the time, no matter the situation.

Talking about friendship has its price sometimes because some will be by you no matter what, the situation and some will not. What is Important in every friend or relationship you build is that it has no price.

real friend

What qualities do we need as a friend? It depends but overall, what you need is trustworthiness as a true friend, and it includes making a promise and fulfilling it.

If you fail on your promises as a friend, you have some explaining to do.

There are so many things that could make a relationship sour, but being true to your friend, Keeping and fulfilling promises could go a long way, and don’t ever make promises you can not keep. We are humans, and nobody is perfect but make sure you avoid not keeping your words with your friends.

As we all know, being dependable always helps in a relationship because every good friend wants someone they can rely on or count on at all times, and that is why being dependable is what we need. That is one of the true qualities of a true and good friend.

Nobody wants someone who is not reliable especially, as a friend.

There are so many things that Could make you stand out as a true friend, Be happy for your friend at every achievement.

We do make mistakes all the time as humans, so you should apologize when you make a mistake or upset your friend.

Be honest with them in whatever way you can, and be honest about your feelings towards your friend if the situation warrants it, and make them realize what they have done to hurt you without hiding or holding back how you feel.

Honesty is the first key to every good friendship or relationship. Any relationship placed on honesty, truthfulness, love, understanding, care for one another, respect, confidence in one another, and dependability will go a long way.

If your friend tells you something in confidence, keep it and don’t discuss it with anyone else.

friend

Be a good listener, avoid being ahead of your friends when it comes to conversation and when they are passing through hard times, be there for them especially, in times of crisis.

Let us say he has a pet and it ran away, be there for him by trying to help, or if your friend is at the hospital or sick at home, be there for them. Giving good and reliable advice is one duty of a good friend, especially when the situation warrants it without making it mandatory for them to take your advice.

Try being supportive and learn to forgive and forget. There are times when they have their way or attitude, but all you have to do is learn to accept them for what they are.

Christmas is a special time where kids are happy and want to show it by going to Christmas parties and singing carols and Christmas sing and there are lots of important and necessary things happening for everybody. It is really a time that everybody is looking forward to.  i remember as a little kid, this is a time that we are always looking forward to, because we always have fireworks and a lot of fun including going to parties and a lot of eating and drinking, it’s all fun time for all.

Christmas is a peaceful and mood changing period when everybody forgets about their life challenges, sorrows pains and whatever they are going through. It is a season of great impression on all grounds and it is a wonderful time that needs consideration by both kids and adults, so it’s a season of happiness, song, celebration and joy.  Christmas has always been a holiday celebrated carelessly, both pagans, Christians, millennia and Jews alike have become part of the season’s festivities, and it is only few people who consider the celebration’s intrinsic meaning, history, or origins. The joy of it is what really matters and not its origin.

fun and game

Most of the most popular Christmas customs which  includes the Christmas trees, Christmas presents and Santa Claus.  Most people who are happily preparing for the Xmas celebrations would rather not know about the holidays real origin or significance. even if they know the history or origin of Christmas, they do not care because of the fun and happiness that it brings and that is what really counts or matters.

xmas

I remember the Christmas song:” Happy Holiday Happy holiday, happy holiday While the merry bells keep ringing May your every wish come true.  Happy holiday, happy holiday May the calendar keep bringing Happy holidays to you.  Come To Holiday Inn If you’re burdened down with trouble, If your nerves are wearing thin Park your load down the road And come to Holiday Inn.  If the traffic noise affects you Like a squeaky violin Kick your cares down the stairs And come to Holiday Inn.  If you can’t find someone who Would set your heart a-whirl Take your car and motor to The home of boy meets girl.  If you’re laid-up with a breakdown, Throw away your vitamin Don’t get worse, grab your nurse and come to holiday inn?” It would be a good thing to bring your family and friends together at this time of the year.  “Happy Holidays”.

Thanksgiving as a way of life

giving thanks

thanksgiving

 The hustling and bustling, the excitement, the preparation, the announcements, the radio and television discussion about thanksgiving makes one to wonder how it would be devastating if there is no Thanksgiving, but for everyday that passes in our lives we always have a thing or two to say thank you for. Is it the job that we got or the birth of our kids or the house that we bought or the new car that we have or our kids graduating from school and we are happy for the blessing of God by giving us good and understanding neighbors or friends that always want to hear us out and listen to what we have to say and the people we have in our lives. We are thankful for all that has transpired in our lives from different angles of our various lives, starting from the beginning of the year till date.

giving thanks

thanks

It was a great and wonderful day when we went out to the salvation army place to appreciate the thanksgiving, the hall was full of people, the kids were playing around, the adults were discussing, the ushers were helping people with food and other activities in this place and the beauty of it all is the interaction and the happiness you see on people’s face on that particular day, the DJ was there doing his thing and the most exciting part of it was the gift that was given out from the ticket that was given out to everybody and to make it more elaborate was the band that played at this occasion, the little children that were singing and playing around and the host and I then said to myself, no matter what your situation is and whatever you are going through, we need to give thanks for every single day of our lives, for every single breath that we breathe and for the lives of our family and friends.

some are in the hospital not able to go out or see friends, but the lives that they have is worth being thankful for and it is always a thing of beauty to say Our father in heaven we thank you, if that is the only prayer we have, it is worth it. We have always been thankful for everyday of our lives and when we sleep and wake up, but the most beautiful thing about thanksgiving is being able to say thank you after all our lives experiences on the thanksgiving day is absolutely amazing.  Some families go out on that day to the movies to have fun which is part of the beauty of thanksgiving.  One other thing that i appreciate and value about the thanksgiving is the black Friday, a lot of family is making preparation for this day so they can buy stuff for a moderate price and enjoy the bliss of the thanksgiving ceremony and another thing that i realize is people going out on black Friday despite the cold to buy stuff for their various families.

Embracing Life’s Challenges: How Real-Life Tests Shape Growth, Purpose, and Success

test

real life test

Life always has its own challenges and tests. Real-life testing occurs not when all is going well but when we have challenges and great life experiences. Life, as we all know, sometimes has its ups and downs. It includes different events and issues arising, and that is where our life experience comes in. Life experience is sometimes considered a Life Test. As human beings, we always want to make the world a better place.

We always have a purpose in life, and committing to that purpose is a necessity, and it is the beginning or foundation of every good thing that comes our way in life. Whatever we are doing, we need to do it right because time waits for nobody, and life waits for no one. We must keep moving and doing what we love doing best. 

There is a quotation that I love by an unknown author, which says, “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Appreciate those who treat you well, disregard those who do not, and consider that everything occurs for a reason. When opportunities arise, take them. If they alter your life, accept it.

No one said it would be easy, just that it would be worth it. Author Unknown Facing your goals and purpose early makes life easier and more understandable, leading to achievements and wonderful things. As we all know, life challenges include finance, relationships, work, and more, but they all revolve around achievement of life, and the more achievements we have of our dreams and goals, the better for us.

life test

The past always holds us down, and due to this, we always fear to make a leap of fate or try other things, but many a time, this becomes a great hindrance to us and our progress. As the saying goes, “nothing ventured nothing gained”, our experience of life is a great instrument or tool that will help us in getting to our destination. If used properly and diligently, no matter what the situation, making that leap of fate is our key to stardom, progress, miracle, and greatness.

 For us to achieve our goals as bloggers, writers, engineers, lawyers, or whatever you are. The process of goal setting is the answer to most of our needs. It helps to focus on what we want or need to do and not what others assume we should do, and this will surely help in your life accomplishments.

 It is always a good thing to instigate change and transformation and, if possible, be the one to shine the light for others to follow. As we all know, life is full of opportunities. Getting hold of the best opportunities is the greatest fulfillment of life.

test

Real-life testing: 

Often, there are Important opportunities found in everyday events. Our abilities and attitude to life are factors that could bring about our success in life. The challenges and life experiences could be stressful and, at the same time, challenging and boring. That does not mean we should give up because there is always joy in the morning. Try being consistent and persevere no matter how tough and difficult. “Are you bored with life? Dedicate yourself fully to work you believe in, and you will find happiness. Dale Carnegie

Ability To Do Things We Least Expect

The Ability To Do Things That Are Unique And Beneficial

Ability

Sometimes we do have doubt in our ability to meet our goals and due to this doubt we allow ourselves domination by inefficiency and uncertainty thereby making it impossible to focus .  As we all know “Ability is the confidence to do things and attitude is the ability to get our goals.” but, great ability with a very bad attitude can lead to a lot of things such as doubt in ourselves,procrastination,depression , sometimes lack of confidence and a lot of other things that we cannot comprehend.

expect

Looking at it critically, confidence in ourselves can encourage us to archive a lot as long as we have the will, zeal and determination to go for what we want. baby step is good  but also it is good to move faster in our motives, goals and inspiration so that we can get to our destination on time.  There are all kinds of abilities but natural abilities are like trees planted by the waters which brings out its fruits in its own season.  Ability coupled with attitude always make room for doing things that are unique and beneficial.

ability

Out of the blue we do things that we list expected and some funny situations arise that we do not know how it came about. ability to do things can lead to creativity, self-consciousness and the right attitude to get this goals. Ability coupled with the right attitude can do a lot of magic. people with the right mindset and the ability to do things can get their inspiration at the least expected moment. they always follow their heart even if they are not convinced of the outcome of whatever they are doing.  Sometimes failure comes their way but they never give up.

images34

Sometimes we judge ourselves by what we believe we can do or our ability to do things and on the other hand people judge us by our achievements. Growth is sometimes determined by doing things beyond what you already know. I was reading  a quote which kind of interests me and it says “If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” Henry Ford which I am sure is food for thought.  Ability to do things goes a long way and its all about confidence from my point of view, from the little we know Big and good jobs always goes to men who can prove themselves worthy of that job.

Ability

As humans we always ability to think and plan ahead of time. The way we think and plan are different from each other,Some do plan further ahead than others. There are definitely advantages to planning ahead, but on the other hand flexibility is the other of the day.

The Smallest Step In The Right Direction Can BeThe biggest step of your life

Stepping In The right direction – the biggest step of your life

smallest step

Taking the smallest step in the right direction can go a long way, as we all know life is not always a bed of roses but as we lay our bed is how we will lie on it.  There are times when taking the smallest step in the right direction will go a very long way because that step if taken could be the greatest and best in your life. Whatever takes, taking an action and focus will help you in a very big way.  Sometimes we have a motive or a goal but because of laziness or procrastination, we tend to stay in the same spot, all because we refuse to take that little step in the right direction, but a step taken could have been a win situation but instead we get distracted and overwhelmed with unnecessary issues of life.

my dream

Sometimes you meet the love of your life, but miss or lose that person because you refuse to profess your feelings due to fear and doubt of what that person will say, same goes for a  person that wants to go to college but keep postponing admission because of unnecessary situation.  Sometimes we plan on getting a job but we are lazy about applying and end up losing that job same goes for a business man who has a lucrative business prospect that might change his life for the best, but because of delay, doubt, second thought and not taking action could make everything go wrong.  You need to stop having second thoughts and start taking action because that would be the biggest for you in the right direction.

taking a step

a step

The clock is ticking and the fact that time waits for nobody simply means whatever you need to do, do it quick.  everybody has a dream and wants it to come to pass and we all want a new and better life but the fact remains that our dream to become a star,an engineer,a doctor, an entrepreneur and whatever we want for our selves can never come to pass if that first step needed in the right direction is not taken.  Take that first step in the right direction so that whatever you want may come to reality.  It is almost like that saying ” how you lay your bed is how you lie on it”, So regardless of what your goals or dreams are, believe in yourself and take that first step in the right direction, even if it’s a baby step.  Whatever you wish would be fulfilled in the step taken in the right direction. Step into the world you want by jumping the broom into a new life.

Making relationships work

How do we make relationships work?, hmmm! it takes the grace of God and a lot of good notion including patience understand and perseverance and most relationship have stress and crisis, so making sacrifice for that relationship will go a along way, but it is always worth the while if properly applied, there are so many information, prompts and advice out there and sometimes they could be reliable and sometimes it is not worth accepting because they look like junk automatically means it is not a good advice and it is not worth reading because they are most times contradicting and confusing.

How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It

 

relationship built on trust

built on trust

  • Trust: A good, healthy and loving relationship relies on trust and faith in whomever you are dealing with which includes marriages and others, for without trust, chaos, confusion and pestilence will arise in that relationship and from a layman’s point of view, a relationship without trust is like telephone without service, which is almost like a relationship without a good foundation.  lack of trust can lead to you checking on him all the time believing in what you imagine which could be baseless. lets say he is away on a conference, you are there worried about what he or she is doing and who they are with and all kinds of thought will be flowing through your mind.  Unnecessary insecurities due to lack of trust will lead to constant quarrel and commotions at home which if looked critically could end up driving both of you apart instead of getting close. I get it, there has been a bad experience about a past relationship. but we need to forget about our past and move on or else you will have trust issue in your relationship which you need to avoid.
