something you have done wrong and occasionally
serves as a request for forgiveness, as well.

impossible task but you can get through it by
swallowing your pride and putting your best foot
forward.
5. • Learning to give ,receive and ask for apologies is so
important.
• Apologizing is difficult to someone else n easy for
others.

difficult than giving one.

admit our imperfections.
Many people fear that if they take the risk of apologizing
they may be rejected.
