WHY DO SOME PEOPLE FIND IT SO DIFFICULT TO SAY THE WORDS: "I'M SORRY"?

-

Like, seriously, it baffles me. In fact, it amazes me. Maybe because I do not see admitting my fault as a big deal. I like to admit when I am wrong and apologize when need be. That is why it amazes me when people will rather lose years of meaningful relationship and friendship than say the simple words 'I am sorry'.  It is worthy of note though, that admitting your wrong and saying you are sorry to the offended party doesn't stop there. It goes beyond just saying it, you have to actually mean it when you say it. Some people say they are sorry just because they want that episode to pass. Then, they go and commit the same blunder again or even worse the next time. That is not good at all.

Maybe her mother, how she secretly takes the father's money and tuck into her bra. She sees it done in her presence, and she does likewise.  Even if it isn't the mum she copied. The fact is that she saw something bad and she did likewise. That goes to tell you that every adult should be careful of the things they do in the presence these  little ones.  The question is: what kind of things do you do in the presenc...

 Emotional intelligence is very powerful and essential, yet undervalued in our society and among people. The importance of emotional intelligence in all interpersonal relationships cannot be over emphasized. Let's take a look at different works of life and the importance of emotional intelligence to thrive in them.  🔑 1. Workplace: A lack of emotional intelligent skills result in workplace conflicts and misunderstanding. This dynamic often stems from an inability to recognize or comprehend emotions. It is one of the most sought-after interpersonal skill in the work place. Note: A popularly cited survey from 2011 showed that 71% of employers valued emotional intelligence in an employee over IQ. In fact, 59% of employers would not hire someone if they had a high IQ but low EI.   🔑 2. Education: The importance of Emotional intelligence (EI) in education is seen in the ability to identify, name and manage emotions. This provides the learner with foundation for problem-solvi...
