A lot of people do not realize that apologizing is just as important as saying loving and encouraging words. Experience has taught me that apologizing can be insulting, but it's not supposed to be.

    Apologizing is supposed to be like dabbing healing balm on a wound caused by a broken relationship.

    It's supposed to be soothing, reassuring restoration of what was once beautiful and pure.

    It signals a fresh start, promising another chance to trust and be trusted, to love and be loved, to cherish and be cherished, to care and be cared for.

    "Sorry" is more than a 5-letter-word.

    It could mean 5 more years of friendship, peace, joy, and hope.

    It could mean 5 more friends gained, either old or new.

    It could mean 5 more lessons learned that no other experience would have taught.

    So the next time you apologize, please be sincerely sincere.

    You won't just be saying a short word; you'll also be changing lives (yours and other people's) for the long term.

    Don't let your apology be an insult.

    It's not supposed to be.

    很多人還沒意識到其實(shí)道歉和表達(dá)愛意和鼓勵(lì)的話語是一樣那么重要的。經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我們道歉就是一種責(zé)備，但是實(shí)際并非如此。

    道歉被認(rèn)為是像把一把鹽撒在傷口上，會引起關(guān)系的破裂。

    它還被看作是安撫、安慰、挽回曾經(jīng)美好和純真的一切。

    它是新的開始的標(biāo)志，意味著給予再一次機(jī)會互相信任和被信任，愛與被愛，鼓勵(lì)與被鼓勵(lì)，關(guān)懷與被關(guān)懷。

    “對不起”不僅僅是五個(gè)字母。

    它意味著一段五年的友情、和平、快樂與希望。

    它還意味著給我們上了多于5節(jié)其他經(jīng)歷無法給予我們的課。

    所以，請你在下次向別人道歉時(shí)要真誠。

    你不能簡單地講幾個(gè)字就是道歉了；你將永久改變你自己和別人的生活。

    請不要讓你的道歉成為責(zé)備別人的話語！

    道歉不應(yīng)該是那樣的！
