I will readily admit that I make a lot of them. Everyone does.

And any person who claims to be so infallible that he/she doesn't ever make mistakes -- well -- there's a big mistake right there.

There is definitely more to "Good Character" than just admitting to being wrong and correcting mistakes. However, these are among the key elements that are conducive to achieving overall "Good Character".

it takes a big person to say " I am sorry" it is harder to admit wrong doing than it seems too.i give them credit for saying so.I wish I could be better at saying sorry.most people could improve with this.

Admitting and correcting, absolutely....

And coming to the understanding that some mistakes aren't correctable.

But lets not confuse admitting when you made a mistake with "someone else doesn't like the way I conduct myself, so I have to apologise." While that may be true in some cases, in many other's someone just needs to grow a thicker skin or get the hell out of the playground.

Some mistakes Are easier to admit than others. It is when you really fuck up and it's irreversible that admitting it shows true Character.

We all make mistakes, and we all should be willing to correct them.

I wish more people admitted their mistakes to me, I personally have no problem admitting mine.

Being able to admit your mistakes is a big step in itself but also combined with the effort to correct them shows a character that you can trust. If you are incapable of having this ability to do this then you go through life living a lie.

i will admit when i'm wrong maybe not so pleased about it but i would rather admit to being wrong than look like a fool by trying to say i'm right when i know i'm not.

It is so hard to be corrected when you make a mistake. But if your someone that learns from your mistakes then your that much smarter. The bible says he who takes correction is wise. But a fool hates correction.

It can be hard to admit you're wrong. But if you're wrong, you're wrong, just admit it and move on. Besides if you are wrong, everybody already knows it, you're not fooling anybody.

Knowing you screwed up, and not repeating said screwball is a good idea for anyone. Even better is to slow down, think out your decisions more completely, and not make the loser decision in the first place. :)

People of character will admit and, where possible, correct their mistake. When they can't correct their mistake, it will at least be avoided in the future.

It takes a secure and decent person to admit mistakes and actually correct them. Most people simply try to hide their mistakes and compound their problems.

In my lifetime I have noticed that admitting fault is very hard for women to do. You can't correct what you dont hold yourself accountable for in the first place! Yes I have seen prideful men who take this to new heights, but I have known many more women well (had relationships with more than a few)who just could not seem to do it. Is it that they have less character? I wont say, but it is one of their most common faults. I think it has more to do with the fact that todays women just do not want to apoligize to a man.. period. My wife is definitely one of them, so is my x wife and two steadies before them.
