life brings us in many situations when we owe an apology to others who we delibrately or indelibrately wrong
an apology will not be effective unless it contains the following elements:
acknowlegement of one’s mistake
agreement with the hurtful feeling caused
acceptance of the victim’s response as anger and sadness
genuine offer of a sorry in words and in deeds
a hug or a promise made for a revived relation
what else is important in giving an apology?
in future not repeating mishtakes
any way i think all u have said is fine and enough.
actually sometimes words are not needed especially with elders embarrasement on face tell you and that will do the job.and i can forgive easily anyone if i see his/her face and i know that they have realize their mistakes.but with children apology with mouth is necessary
Anyone can use attractive words, can apologize, hug etc. but whats the point
if one doesn't mean it. So the most imp. thing is, when apologize, we mean it. And our actions should show it.
Agree with both Ume & Aly.
agree with everyone bt must add sincereity, sometimes ppl just appologise like in an automated manner, without feeling,emotion just hollow words, and as said above actions speak louder than words.
