Do you admit your mistakes?

It usually depends on the situation. When I was younger, it was a reflex action to try and put the blame on how things went wrong onto other people. This gave me a psychological crutch. If the problem was not mine, why did I need to appologise for the things that I did not do. However, as I've grown older, I've been trying to look at situations from a more internal point of view. If there's something that went wrong, I try to ask myself what could I have done to make the situation better and how did I contribute to the situation. I've found that this allows one to take ownership of situations and once you have ownership, you get control of the situation. As such, I find myself admitting my own mistakes and when you admit to your mistakes, you'll find that you're better able to find solutions to the problem. I must admit that making a mental switch still takes time. I actually have to discipline myself into looking at situations from a personal perspective rather than from a blame everyone else perspective. But its getting easier. I've found that I have more respects for leaders who admit their mistakes and when I follow their examples, people are more willing to deal with me.

Its ok friend, Have a nice day....

yeah, sometimes we need to examine the situation and see what went wrong and learn to admit our mistakes for the betterment of the situation.

i respect that. i also don't easily accept my mistakes when it comes to arguing with my husband. as long as i can defend my side, i will..but, if i am already caught off guard, of course, i would and say sorry. but then again, we are entitled to our own choices and preferences.
