Do you acknowledge your mistakes?

Hi there... Very nice post... Well, I like to admit to my mistakes, even before they're discovered. A few friends of mine consider this as a weakness of mine, and I don't agree with them... It is always good to admit, 'oh I am sorry... I messed up and made a mistake...' Reasons: It relaxes me.. I can't live with some kind of guilt in my heart, which is distracting. Also, I know that now or then, some one is going to discover it and then I will have to face the storm for it, which will be more severe then. But if I admit my mistakes, no one is going to be angry with me. I usually get replies such as, 'oh, you did it eh! No worries, go back to your work, I'll fix it...' And they do! They do it with a wish to help me and they don't ask for any reward or anything. It is always good to admit to your mistakes... It saves us from irritation, annoyance. It saves time and makes one more efficient... Happy myLotting!

I agree with you. We are only humans we made a lot of mistakes. Even though I made a mistake I am not ashamed of it, may be at first I do feel ashamed but later on I am happy that I made that mistake because without it, I cant learn from it. We all know that experience is our great teacher...

Hi eloveriz2004, Acknowledging your own mistakes means you are being humble in front of God and of other people.It is not easy acknowledging mistakes. Sometimes, its case to case basis. As a human, having pride cannot be removed to us humans. And that what makes relationship to be ruined. If you will ask me if I acknowledge my mistakes, yes..I admit it. When I am wrong, I really admit it and keep myself change. In addition to that, I think there are no mistakes in the world but only lessons for us to learned. I always look it that way instead of seeing it as a mistake. It helps me to have a more positive view in life.

yes your right no one is perfect and we all make mistakes though what matter is we learned for those mistakes. sometimes i did it in purpose specially if im too angry to someone else its like a revenge to my part though i felt sorry for that afterward, but then mistakes is mistakes and once we did it we cant bring it back though we can do something of not to do it again.

Hi! Yes! Every time i did a mistake, i admit my fault and say sorry. I can swallow any pride what i have. Have a nice day..

They say that everything happens for a reason. I have had many experiences in my life where I made a mistake or the wrong choice and the "reason" it happened was because I needed to learn something in order to grow as a person. In order to learn from our mistakes, we must first acknowledge that a mistake has been made. Admitting a mistake does not make you less of a person - it makes you more. I would rather make a mistake, admit that I was less than perfect, and continue towards becoming my best self than to deny my mistakes and pretend that I am already a perfect person. I have met many people who refuse to own their mistakes and I notice that they continue to repeatedly make the same mistakes, as if they were stuck in a test they can't stop taking until they pass.

I'm not perfect person by any means and have made many mistakes in my lifetime....I also believe it's a learning experience to shape who we are and who we want to become....I do apologize and admit my mistakes I may not realize them right away no but I will not back away or deny it....

being able to admit to my mistakes is pretty easy for me. i will and can say i was wrong or i dealt with whatever wrong and i am sorry. i am not perfect, and i do look at things much different then some. i see how people treat others wrong all the time. when the person who they hurt asked them why did you do that to me, and they say sorry but turn around and do the samething later, to me these people dont care who they hurt. i alway say there are two people in this world. those who do wrong and can admit to thier own mistakes and say sorry and really mean it. and those who dont care if they hurt anyone, and they just keep it over and over.

Hello.. I know as human beings we tend to make mistakes. Sometimes when we do a mistake we feel like it is good but when things get worse we regret it. For people who realize that they couldn't turn back time, we can expect them to acknowledge their mistakes. For those who don't, I guess they'll just keep repeating the same mistakes. For me, I know I'm a helpless human being in this world so when I made mistakes, I will acknowledge them. Whether to those who is sinned to or only to myself.

Absolutely. Everyone should admit their mistakes. No one should ever hide their flaws or cover up their errors. I absolutely agree with that, and if at some point I make a mistake, I'll be sure to admit to it, assuming that ever happens.

Well i do acknowledge my mistake when i hurt others

It doesn't make any difference if you have made an insignificant mistake or a serious mistake, you need to take the ownership of the mistake, admit to it, apologize for it, fix it & not repeat it. I acknowledge my mistakes & tell the truth if I make a mistake. A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, & strong enough to correct them. Mistakes are fact of life. It is response to the error that count.
