Nice Question You guys😛

Yuups Nice Qoute, and yes very true it takes a great person to admit that 'yes i was wrong, i made a mistake'. Yeah and also true about the rest, gain something from your mistakes, its a learning experience along the way. Be smart enough to learn something from them and not to repeat that mistake and try and correct what you have done wrong.  

I guess one way or another we have all been in this situation, were we have made mistakes and have to admit our judgement was wrong and admit we made  a mistake.

Even a simple discussion with friends where you have a homework Question and all get different answers, you admit ok i made a mistake u guys were right😆

Yeah I think the main thing is Everyone makes mistakes, just learn from them, and try not to repeat it again, as that won't be a mistake that will be deliberate fault.😳 in like BIG situations, where the price to pay is costly.

Nice quote! I agree with it... I'll say with admitting his mistakes, one shouldn't feel ashamed of apologising for any wrong one has done.

I have been in quite some situations like this. 😆 I don't feel any hesitation admitting my mistakes with strangers but I do feel so defeated when I've made something wrong, and my sisters are bent on making my mum scold me. 😡😆

I, too, think we should always learn from our mistakes and try not to commit them again.

Very nice and meaningful quote!

Yes, I do believe that admitting to mistakes does not lesses anyone's pride.  In fact, admittance to mistakes is a sign of strength not weakness. Hiding your mistakes is a sign of weakness.

A human has to make mistakes or else we would be angels.  The point is not how many mistakes you make but the real point is what you learn from your mistakes and whether or not you repeat them.

Yes, I have admitted my mistakes before and said sorry too.  I believe that a mistake committed unknowingly should be forgiven because that gives a person scope to grow.  Saying sorry doesn't make anyone less of a person but forgiving others does make you a better person.

I really like this quote and also agree with it.

I have been in a similar situation many times and I never hesitate to admit my faults and rectify them right away because I believe in another quote that states...

"If you're willing to admit faults, you have one less fault to admit"

Saying sorry should not be humiliating to yourself especially if you learn from your mistake and decide to not repeat it again.

Nice Quote and i should say it is really true...

One should learn from his mistakes. I have been in this situations lots of time and i don't hesitate to accept my mistakes and apologize.. These mistakes are not deliberate therefore not totally your fault but you do learn lesson from them.

When you have realised ur mistakes, u will not make the same mistakes again as u have learn from it. I believe that you grow more experience and learn more from life when u make mistakes. After making a mistakes the next time you will make sure it does not happen again. You always learn something from ur Mistakes!!

Mistakes happen its natural...,There are no mistakes, only lessons....try to learn from our mistakes and reduce it..I think we should react on others mistakes too...otherwise they will feel they doing the right things. 😳

fariha17 sums it up nicely. Humility and feeling comfortable enough to admit fault is a sign of strength. Those who would see this as a sign of weakness generally have low self esteem and thrive on building themselves up by tearing others down.
