Importance of saying – I was wrong

Fri, Sep 18, 2009

Communication, Relationships

Yet again one of the MOST difficult words to say.. “I was wrong”.

We often end a lot of relationships and make the ones we are in totally sour from top to bottom by not admitting our fault. We just are too perfect aren’t we. But to wake you up a bit, NOOOO we aren’t. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes and the one who is “great” is the one who admits them. I have travelled a long journey where lots of times I would be like any other young guy and say “Naa i gave this thing my 100% it can’t be wrong” But hey we all make mistakes, I WAS wrong and I will never be perfect. But yes, I can give my 100% to be GOOD.

When we apply the above to a relationship, or your siblings. How often do you say something to hurt them and then you say “Bro, I was wrong”  try it :) and remember the post about “I am sorry”.. Add them together and then see the magic.

Just say “I was wrong… I am sorry” :)

Now do tell us how often do YOU say you were wrong…

    Yet again a wonderful N useful entry, words to learn from N to take benefit of :-)

    I feel I don’t have any difficulty in admittin that I was wrong N to say I am sorry – I think one need to respect themselve to admit that they can be wrong as well, that self-respect they have would do it lot easy for them to say sorry or to forgive for that matter :-) as you said no one is perfect, nobody can be perfect because we’re humans N not angels nor saints. It’s not about bein mistaken which is not good, it’s about repeatin the mistake N it’s about not realizin that you can be wrong that’s damagin thing. For me, as said I have absolutely no difficulty sayin sorry, I was wrong. [When I am wrong that is, N I guess we all DO KNOW v v v well when N how we are wrong to ourself or to anyone] :-)

    God bless, Infinity.

    I was wrong is something I have started using a lot, even at places just to make someone smile. So yes i know it might seem wierd but it doesn’t become a habit since it’s not lying but just getting a communication path open with an individual. I often tend to use it with my bros nowadays when I feel I did something they might not have liked :)

    Well, First Eid Mubarak :-) Making someone is the best thing one can do N you always gain loads of smiles by doin so – but sayin that you was wrong just to make someone feel better, don’t you think that would make them no take the actual for granted N keep on doin or demanding for that matter, that you tell them you’re wrong even when you’re not? Yeah it’s alright to say I’m sorry that I said/did something YOU didn’t like but sayin that you were wrong when you’re right, well I think bit differently about that. But yes admittin fully when you’re wrong N apologizin is a wonderful thing, N one shouldn’t hasitate with that.

    God bless :-)

    Well depends on the situation but yeah if one thinks about it, which I do sometimes, I really don’t use the few important words just like that. :)
