The Blame Game


"Admitting that you are wrong is not showing a sign of weakness, it's showing a sign of responsibility and maturity" -Markesha

The Blame Game is something serious. When something goes wrong, some of us never like to confess to our mistakes. We are human. We all make a mistakes and when it happens, we need to learn from them and simply apologize. For example, I was working on someones account at work and thought I completed their adjustments. I get an email from another employee stating that I did not complete it and the customer was upset. I could have sworn I finished the adjustment but when I double checked, it wasn't. I completed the adjustment, responded to the other employees email and apologized. I could have easily responded to her email right away saying that I did but I really did make a mistake.

Some people don't like to admit to their wrongs because they feel like it's a sign of weakness. Nobody on this earth is perfect so what makes you think that you can't say sorry or correct your mistakes? Where would we be if this world was so perfect? Playing The Blame Game makes you look like a coward and shows irresponsibility. Every mistake you make is supposed to be a learning experience so in the future, if there was something that you did wrong, if it was cheating on someone, making a mistake at work, school, broke something at home, anything.......say you're sorry and please be sincere about it. There is nothing worse than getting an apology that is not sincere.

If you're not used to the word "Sorry" or "I made a mistake", yeah, it will feel funny for a moment but the more you say it, the more easier it becomes and you will feel better about yourself.
