Saying Sorry

I am sorry is what mends a hundred things. Not that you were really at fault if you apologize. Talking of apologies, I am sorry for my absence, certain commitments kept me occupied.

You learn with your brain, you enjoy from your heart but you succeed with your tongue.
For long I have tried to find reasons, reasons why some people are successful while others are not. Even when the same effort and efficiency is applied and the answer lies in the variation in way one talks to others. 
Arrogance wins spite even if you are great, smile wins friends. A successful person is rarely arrogant. Of course, a certain level of ego surrounds you when you achieve and it is a healthy thing as long as it does not go in excess. If you make mistake and you are great, then say sorry instead of emphasizing your greatness and believing that you would be condones. Why would you be, when you are at fault.
When you are not at fault, then say sorry to break the thaw. There is nothing that hinders the progress as badly as angry mind and an unforgiving nature. When you break the thaw and you genuinely forgive, you redeem yourself of the unnecessary botheration to punish the person at fault.
Forgive and ask for forgiveness, not because you have no dignity but because you deserve peace of mind and a healthy mind can do wonders, while a bothered one can do disasters.
