"Our findings show that the most important component [of an apology] is an acknowledgement of responsibility," Lewicki said. "Say it is your fault, that you made a mistake," he said.The second most effective element is the offer to repair the wrong that was done, according to the study. This assures the person you are apologizing to that "you're committing to take action to undo the damage," Lewicki said.http://www.livescience.com/54406-best-way-to-apologize.html?utm_content=buffer468de&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer%26cmpid%3D514627 4951

My favorite way to apologize is with a very heartfelt apology of "I'm sorry that you think I was wrong.....". Surely research has found that as an effective way to apologize. 4951

Hey! I read interesting stuff, when it is on sites I can access from the work computer.A friend of mine does this mentoring speech on:FeelFeltFoundI understand how you feel, I have felt that way myself, I have found it helps to.... LOL I always get a chuckle at the end of her speech.  But it really works well. Especially with kids. I understand how you feel, I have been hungry before too. I have found this big white box in the kitchen called a fridge, and it holds things you can eat!Husbands...I understand how you feel, I have been mad at myself for spending too much money too. I have found if you made more money, this wouldn't be a problem for me LOL. 4951

and there is always this perspective:"You should be the one apologizing, just because I repeatedly kicked you in the nuts (proverbially) doesn't mean you have the right to be upset with me or talk about me like that!!!!" 4951

Speaking of apologies, just in case there is a lurker here that posted maybe two times.... I owe one that I have no expectation of ever being accepted.You have my deepest apologies.  I was going to do this years ago... in person, but was told not to.  Not sure if I was given good advice about that or not.  I'm sorry.I think about it every day and have for years. If it helps, I have a heart related medical issue that makes my lifespan very iffy.  You probably didn't get the details.   So, you can have either forgiveness or revenge, or both at the same time. 4951
