Hello,
I am UBONG BASSEY, a civil engineer and a consultant; a highly sought-after motivational speaker. A peak performance Coach, talent development and personal branding.
APOLOGY:
When former US president, Barack Obama visited electric gas engine Plant in 30 January 2014, in Wisconsin. He gave a speech in hopes of encouraging young people to see manufacturing and trade jobs as good career options. “Not all of today’s good jobs need a four years degree” the then president said. I promise you folks make a lot more. Potentially with the skilled trade and manufacturing than with an art history degree.
Before the speech was over, many responds through tweeters, Facebook and emails came in via the white house website. One Art Historian, Professor Ann Collins Johns from university of Texas wrote Obama via the White house website, intending to dispel some of the common misconception about Art Historian.
The then number one citizen of the United States sent a handwritten apology letter to her and the entire Art Historian in respect to the statement he made.
“Let me apologies for my off and cuff remarks. I was making a point about the jobs market, not the value of Art History. As it so happen, Art History was one of my favorites subject in high school, and had helped me take in a great deal of joy in my life. So please pass on my apologies to everyone and the entire Art Historian.
A single apology can end a war, stop a fight and make peace. Most of the trouble on our homes are highlighted because wives are too big to apologies to their husbands and you can trust me, the ego in men won’t allow them to apologies to their wives.
Quarrel linger between friends, neighbors and co-worker because no party wants to apologies. Each says or asks why I should be the first to apologies. Some will beat their chest and alter ego phrase “A whole me” if I may ask “who are you? If Barack Obama could apologies to all Art student and professor in United State…Or when a northbound metropolitan intercity Railway company train left Minami Station roughly 20 second earlier than the time indicated on the timetable on November 14, at approximately 9:44am, many individual complain about the early departure of the train. Internet users around the world responded. In less than 24 hours the train company apologies publicly for 20 second early departure.
See! All of us are victims of this. We lost valuable assets, money, relationships, marriage even our lives because of this short but might word called “Sorry” Every apology has two parts. The admission that something went wrong and the action to be taken that it won’t happen again.
I was asked between a man and a woman who are in relationship, who is the first to apologies when there’s misunderstanding. I quickly said “it is a first come first service thing.” Anybody can say it regarding who’s at fault. Dropping your ego, title and age will shows you’re wiser and stronger than other person.
This year the President of one of the most popular black nation on earth openly made a statement that the youth of his country are lazy. I was expected him to write an apology letter to his citizens and tell them it was a off and cuff statement. I had search the Internet, listen to radio, watch television and even read newspaper but I haven’t seen such apology letter.
Apologizing will free you from hatred and crippled the other person. Try this today and you will thank me later. Send and apology note to the person who offend you. Don’t wait for him or her to apology. When you do that its show you are more responsible than the individuals.
You will find it easy not too hard to do.
Ubong Bassey.
