In our lives, we are constantly making mistakes. In fact if you never make mistakes at all in your life, something is definitely wrong with you. It is good to realise you mistakes and ask for apologies for them. To some people who are maybe prideful and arrogant and also have the tendency to refuse to admit their mistakes, you should know that you should. It might be hard for you to ask for apology, however bear in your mind that it is even harder to forgive.
Asking for apology is definitely simple to most people. You can use the universal language, 'Sorry' and that's it ... congratulations ... you have just apologised. It's just simple and fast. Nonetheless, it is hard for people to actually forgive people. Thus, when you apologise, you should be sincere and really mean it. If you don't believe what I said, I'll give you a simple example.
Let's say one's family was killed by this person and in the end the person realised that it was very wrong and was really sorry. Even if the person ask for apology with sincereness, can you really forgive him or her ? To most people, they can't.
Okay, here's a simpler example without going to the extreme. Let's say you are queuing to order food in Burger King or somewhere and all of a sudden, the person in front of you accidentally and not purposely splashed his or her drink and now your clothes are wet. In front of many eyes starring at you, you might just forgive him or her after he or she apologises. However, in your heart I am very sure that you would just say 'Damn it ... look what happen to my shirt or pants or whatever'. Again, this is the case for most people. Some people just have the kind and big heart to let go of everything that happen to them.
Hence, you should apologise sincerely for every mistakes you have committed since it is hard to actually forgive.
