Sorry: Its Fading Sheen!!!

By -
‘Sorry’ is a common word which we use frequently. This has become a ritual to say ‘Sorry’ for each trivial or giant fault which we make in our day-to-day life. Since our childhood, we have been trained to utter this magical word ‘Sorry’ as it shows that we’re well-mannered and full of repentance for our mistake. How pleasant it seems when we come across well-behaved people around us. But ironically, ‘Sorry’ has lost its significance and effect over the period of time.
Now we use this word mechanically like a parrot chants the name of God without being familiar with its magnitude. “‘Sorry’ has zero impact or meaning. It slides off glibly from too many tongues.’ 1. Let’s discuss how the use of ‘Sorry’ makes any difference.
1. ‘Sorry’ shows that we have a realization of our mistake.

2. It strengthens the relationship between two people and brings them closer.
3. It shows a person’s acknowledgement of his fault and determination to not to repeat it.
Why do people hesitate to say 'Sorry'.


* ‘Sorry’ energizes a relationship as it increases a person’s maturity level.
* But as I’ve already mentioned that with the changing time, ‘Sorry’ has also      stripped off its real magic. 
* Sometimes we feel that saying ‘Sorry’ will expose us to others. 
* Moreover, it seems that these days, ‘Sorry’ is a mere formality. 
* Apart from that, people have a high sense of superiority complex and they seem reluctant to say ‘Sorry’. 
* Many times, we know that we’re at fault but we’re ashamed to say ‘Sorry’ .
* Often, we’re unsure about the reaction of the person who is hurt because of our behavior.


Hence, it’s essential for us to understand that the realization of our mistake manifests in our behaviour not in chanting the word ‘Sorry’. 'Apologies are great, but they don’t really change anything. You know what does? Action.'        Stella Young, comedienne 2.

Let me mention that if we make some blunder, we can’t fix the damage just by saying ‘Sorry’. Saying ‘Sorry’ has lost its importance due to our casual attitude. ‘Sorry’ has no impact until we’ve empathy, acute introspection and emotional involvement in our words and actions.


Best Wishes!!

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a  week-long  motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately. During our long discussions regarding life, relation, how well we comprehend our relations and a life-changing, horrific accident which he met with, he poured his heart to me and at that point, I found out how burdened he was with immense guilt and regrets for not valuing his wife and children, for making their lives miserable at one point of his life. Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself f...

Being Uncomfortable Leads to Success!! Friends, How are you? Let me ask you if you ever feel vulnerable. Do you ever find yourself out of your comfort zone? So what do you do to survive in such a situation? Despite our yearning to move ahead and progress rapidly with the changing period, many of us get scared when we are out of our secured position.    What is a comfort zone? Yes, today’s discussion is about COMFORT ZONE. Friends, comfort zone refers to be in a secured position which most of us love to be. I had read somewhere that real life happens out of comfort zones. If we expand our arena by coming out of our comfort zones, we will surely reach the pinnacle of success. What happens when we are out of a secured position?  While training the under-privileged children in an English class, I could experience the discomfort; the students were going through while introducing themselves to a large audience. I come across several people who seem to ...
