The One Minute Apology


Friends,

Recently read a book "The One Minute Apology" by Ken Blanchard, Margret McBride.

Before you say you're sorry, you have to admit that you are wrong; Not every one can do this easily. We often use the word sorry in our relations and with the people who touches our lives, but how often we think it through before saying sorry.

This delightful story highlights the wisdom and power that is contained in an honest admission of being wrong. "Learning to apologize has to be an irrefutable law". This book is not a manipulative technique for getting what you want. It is a testimony to what the power of repentance and its related power of forgiveness can do to improve or repair relationships, your business and even your home.

Its about being honest with your self. Being in any situation, you have to be honest and ask your self a simple truth; if there is something going wrong? if there is something to be unhappy about? if there is something that needs to be improved?

Once you find out the truth you are not dealing with; surrender your self. Admit that there is soemthing wrong and you need to make up for it. Apologize for your act and share how you feel about it.

After recognizing what is inconsistent with what you want to be, demonstrate your commitment to not to repeat the act by changing your behavior. Take responsibility of the situation and thoughtfully do the needful!

That's it... ! Apologizing is never as easy before reading this book.

I'll say worth a read!
