It's OK to be wrong. You learn from your wrongs. You don't learn from being right. If you're right, you already know it. If you're wrong, it's because you don't know about it, and you made a mistake.
Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.
Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me.
It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
The chief trick to making good mistakes is not to hide them - especially not from yourself. Instead of turning away in denial when you make a mistake, you should become a connoisseur of your own mistakes, turning them over in your mind as if they were works of art, which in a way they are.
ACKNOWLEDGE, v.t. To confess. Acknowledgment of one another's faults is the highest duty imposed by our love of truth.
I make mistakes; I'll be the second to admit it.
If one doesn't know his mistakes, he won't want to correct them.
For most of us, I think it's easier to admit doing wrong than being stupid.
I have a no-apology policy.
Only if you are afraid of looking foolish, and I would have looked far more foolish if I persisted with an erroneous belief.' Eragon said. Why, little one, you just said something wise!'Saphira teased.
The public will forgive you almost anything if you're honest about it.
It is important to change, acknowledge, and accept our mistakes. It's important that we - this goes even for me - introspect and see the wrongs we have done. It's time we all grew up.
I have made mistakes in the past, but when I have, I have always said so.
I don’t think it's weak to admit you made a mistake. That takes strength, if you ask me.
The public, more often than not, will forgive mistakes, but it will not forgive trying to wriggle and weasel out of one.
Nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake, but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say that you were wrong.
You need to accept responsibility for your mistakes. And I've done that.
Me personally, I know I've made mistakes.
Admit to and make yourself accountable for mistakes. How can you improve if you're never wrong?
Be honest about mistakes. Even if you are afraid of what people think.
I did some mistakes; I accept that - I always accept my mistakes. For sure, we are looking forward to improve, to deliver my best as always.
It's especially hard to admit that you made a mistake to your parents, because, of course, you know so much more than they do.
I'd rather not pinpoint my mistakes.
And learn that when you do make a mistake, you'll surface that mistake so you can get it corrected, rather than trying to hide it and bury it, and it becomes a much bigger mistake, and maybe a fatal mistake.
