I was just reading through the book I bought today and it was absolutely amazing. The first thing Rich Devos, the author, explained was the power of saying “I am sorry” and how often he says it to his family and friends. He explained that the power of sorry is way beyond our imagination. If we keep a grudge or someone else for that matter and we go to them and say sorry , ofcourse making sure we MEAN it as well the grudge usually fades away depending on the situation. But the one who actually rises up in “height” is the one saying “I am sorry”
And so true is that, I mean how many times do we do something wrong and don’t say “I am sorry” to a friend or family member. I for one will start saying “i am sorry” to my family members from this very moment and see how things work out then. Since after reading the first bit of the book I realized that the power of “I am sorry” is just way too much which can fix almost everything in matter of milliseconds.
There are two types of sorries. One is when you are sorry for something you did wrong, and the other is when you say things like “I am sorry you lost the match” etc etc. First one is where you were the reason for their hurt, and the second one is when you are actually feeling “sympathy” for them and kind of giving them the “shoulder”
It’s also one of the most difficult words to say, isn’t it

How often do YOU say “I am sorry” to your family members or friends?

I believe that to say sorry to some one who is hurt by us its take guts to put your ego aside and apologize for inappropriate actions or comments. so alway apologize when ever you hurt others and that way you saved your relationship as well as get back on track same time
very nice post bro

Sorry is definitely somethin that can save us from lot of unpleasent time, but what I’ve seen alot of is that poeple “misuse” this powerful word so much these days, they would kind do things having in mind that “it’s okie they can say sorry later on” now this is not the right way
Say it N mean it, is how I see it – don’t make it a habit rather show it from your actions that you really are sorry.
N no doubt the one sayin sorry really got the courage N is someone with a great heart, you did something bad, somethin unjustice, apologizin is for sure needed N then one need to let go of that “ego” – sayin sorry N meaning it won’t only mend the pain of the one you’re sayin sorry to but also help you to feel the peace
God bless.
I for one used to say sorry when it wasn’t even my fault, if someone would feel bad about somethin I did that was all my right, but just because they felt bad, my “sorry” would be right there, but now thanks to my imporoved self-esteem I say when it’s really required N I feel I owe them a sorry

Thx for commenting.
I guess lots of you really do go an extra mile to say sorry. I guess those of you who don’t really need to weigh the options as in the end you win when you say you are sorry
