Just say, "I am sorry that I hurt you."

We have to face challenges, obstacles and problems in our life. Some people say, "we were born to solve problems in this world and the problems which come to us are stepping stones in our life". The process of solving a problem is not easy. We have to consider other possibilities which lead to other problems, perhaps major ones. We must learn how to overcome this - this is life. From other perspective, a bad, practical and past experience which a person has gone through would actually shape a person up. He or she would be stronger in the future.

The past shapes your future.

Criticisms are difficult to accept. Because criticisms are always harsh. Harsh criticisms hurt people's feelings and consequently, it takes time to rethink and reflect what is going wrong; what you have done and what you have said that someone pointed at you and said, "I think you have changed...and so on and so forth. Who doesn't make mistakes? Who doesn't say something which hurt someone in her life before? Who doesn't...?

Just say, " thanks for your criticisms" or "I am sorry that i hurt you."

To be frank, I made mistakes.I always make " unseen mistakes" - mistakes that I never know it's a mistake -
You say something which hurt a person's feelings and you did not know about it until someone told you about that...familiar?
You state something that you do not mean it at all... familiar?
You hurt somebody's feelings sometimes when you are stressed and agitated and you didn't realise it? familiar?
I did all these!And I believe that people around me did the same mistake which i did.Forgive what i have done and forgive what I have said. No one wants to break a relationship up,no one wants to disrupt a friendship.

Understand your love ones, understand their problems and cater their needs.
Your love ones show unusual emotions, be caring and ask "what is going on?" instead of telling them what is wrong with them. I need this too.

Look before you leap.
