Parents tell their kids to apologise for their wrongdoings. But when the mistake is theirs, all too often a sorry is not even heard. Instead they nag away and make it sound as though the fault was yours, again.

Teachers mark their students wrong for their mistakes; fair enough. But what if the teacher themselves made the mistake? Or worst, barely know the subject matter themselves, and marks the student wrongly? They too won't usually be the ones to apologise; neither would they accept your correction with grace.

Sounds familiar?

i wonder why is it so hard for us to just apologise? What would we lose? Seriously. Lose the pride and gain a friend. Don't lord it over others, you'll likely never to earn anyone's respect that way, no matter how good, how smart or how rich you are. All we (or I at least) hope for is equality and openness.

If you made a mistake, you apologise

If you are corrected, accept it. (no use pretending your good at what you know you're not=)

If your views are challenged, hear it out.

You're not always right.
