Apologize when you do something wrong
Apologizing to with a person when you’ve done something wrong is an example that you have good manners. All the time people make small or big errors,but equally these are errors. So, independent of the error it’s necessary to admit when you make an error, think about the problem and what you should do to resolve it.
There are many ways toapologize. The best way could be to apologize right away, but if you can’t do it you have these possibilities: 1. Think about how to apologize. Then explain to the person that you didn’t mean todo harm, I mean, show your regret. 2. Send a note or a small gift.
An experience when I had to apologize: When I was 12, I used to be very rude with my siblings, but one day I was too rude. Iyelled at one of them, I told him a lot of strong things. I knew I hadn’t done the right thing, I felt very bad, I cried a lot, but a week later I decided to apologize. He was still annoyedbecause I yelled at him, but I said to him: Brother I’m sorry, please excuse me, I was very rude with you, I know.
It was something really sad for me. What would I have done? I suppose I could haveapologized immediately, but I didn’t do it. I shouldn’t have yelled at him because he’s my brother and moreover he deserves respect. He felt furious and sad at the same time because we’refamily and these kinds of things shouldn’t happen between ourselves. At the last moment he apologized to me. It was excellent for me because I felt better.
Finally I recommend thinking beforeacting. Sometimes words can hurt the heart of one person. If it’s late and you make an error, the better thing would be to apologize to the person and try to talk about the solution of the problem.People should admit their errors and try to resolve the problems in the best way. They will feel better about themselves and about the other people.
