is it really hard to admit your mistakes? or its just because you cannot stand the feeling of admiting a mistake?
there's the saying that say's "nobody is perfect"..
so we are all capable of doing any mistake..
but the question is can you easily admit that you've done a mistake??

not sure what you are trying to tell here. are you preaching that people should admit their mistakes or simply inquiring who admits their? or are you checking wether you should admit mistakes?
well, a) I think the world would be a better place if people would admit to their mistakes a bit more. b) I usually admit my mistakes because I feel that is the best option, you can then start to work ont he corrections. c) depends what mistake... if it is a real mistake, you should admit it. if the other person just wants you to say sorry for nothing: dont do it.
hope that helps

I hold the view that if a person makes a mistake, he or she should admit it ,and I always apologize when i do something wrong.Like you said"nobody is perfect", so admitting a mistake is really not a big deal.Admitting mistakes can leave others a good impression and it may be a new start.On the other way around,if we don't admit it, mistakes are there and will always be there,eventually,they will be discovered by others,that is much worse i am afraid.Admitting our mistakes is a way of face ourselves.Only by doing this can we overcome the difficulties and make progress.

sure...everyone makes mistakes...no big deal...
in school, we had tests, and no one makes 100% all the time.
and in life, we all do stuff we regret, but it kind of happens for a reason at the end even though at the time it felt like a big mistake...

I get ya! It shouldn't be hard should it? But I notice too that there is such a defense attitude when someone gets caught in a mistake these days, in many different situations.
I have always been the type of person to say, oops, sorry about that and move on. Or if a mistake is made, to say, oh crap, that was me, let me fix that. How can I fix that.
I don't understand the defensiveness and the "I can't be wrong", "it's not my fault" attitude that seems to be spreading among us human beings these days!!!

I do. There's no real reason to hide from your mistakes. The expression 'nobody's perfect' is a great one because of the truth that is attached to it. Everyone will have made several mistakes in their lifetime. It's nothing to be ashamed off because we're human.
