APOLOGY

Apology is an act of saying that you are sorry for

something wrong you have done

Every apology should start with two magic words:

"I'm sorry," or "I apologize." ... Your words need to

be sincere and authentic .

Be honest with yourself, and with the other

person, about why you want to apologize.

Never make an apology when you have ulterior

motives, or if you see it as a means to an end.
