How often do you say “I am sorry?”

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 dressing well enough matters

When it comes to dressing yourself well enough lots of people don’t really think too much about it. I myself sometimes do go outside in a regular shirt and jeans and that’s it. Nothing fancy. But when you think about it, dressing yourself atleast good enough “for yourself” really makes an impact on your own self confidence.

First make yourself look good for yourself, and others will have the same thought about you. Most people say “I don’t care about the world”.. well don’t care about it in that sense, but don’t look like a junkie either since the image that you portray to others is what they “know you for”. You can be the most amazing person in the world, but it won’t help in getting you any friends if no one would want to hang out with you or let alone sit with you.

So next time you dress .. look presentable :) Since your outer image DOES affect your inner image and vice verca.

Do you feel dressing well enough really is that important for your self-image?
