Got blisters for being too proud

Today is Sunday and leaving in a little city means *busses come not so often*. I wanted to meet friends in the city at 9am. I live far from the city and so I need to take the bus. I got up at 7 and went to the bus stop at 8am to avoid coming late to my meeting. Last night my uncle told me to check the bus schedule to avoid missing it today but I said to myself it is just a walking distance. I can check it tomorrow. Wrong move! When I reached the Bus Stop I saw the bus connection I was shock to discover that the first bus will come first at 9am. Because I was too proud to admit to my uncle that I failed. I hate coming late so I walked from the bus stop to the city hoping I would arrive there on time but it took me 1:15 minutes. I felt uncomfortable because I was so sweaty and my feet hurt. Neyt I will swallow my pride and will go back home and ask my uncle if he can bring me to the city.

Yeah, you should do that next time. Sometimes it's hard to admit one's mistake but the consequences might be even harder. I myself had been in similar situations, letting my pride blur practicality. I remember one time that I almost ran out of gas circling around some neighborhood trying to find a house. I was so certain I could find the place and I was too proud to admit that I was already lost.

well walking is good excercise and if you were all sweaty from the walk maybe that just tells you that you may need some more excercise? who knows.
