Mistakes are an inevitable part of living. Our mistakes affect other people. Dealing with the mistake is important but dealing with the affected parties may be even more critical and definitely more sensitive. Here are 10 phrases to get you moving forward in a conversation acknowledging your faults and failures. But only say what you can mean from a pure heart.
- I’m sorry.
- I was wrong.
- I accept responsibility.
- Yes, it happened and it was a mistake.
- I don’t have an excuse. I have an explanation if you want to hear it.
- Here’s what I am learning from the situation and what I’ll do differently in the future.
- How would you like the problem resolved?
- What do you think a fair solution would be?
- Here’s what I am going to do to correct the problem.
And if you still aren't making progress you may try this.... "Yeah, I know I screwed up. Now get off my case, you loser. To err is human, to condemn is just like you and your sorry family. And speaking of your sorry family............"
Maybe you should just stick with the top 9.
blessings, joy and peace
