Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.
To grow you must understand and admit your mistakes, it is an approach that works for me, it is not necessarily the same for everyone.
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
Admit your mistakes but don't cry over them. Correct them and go forward.
It wasn't the best choice. I made a mistake. It was not prohibited. It was not in any way disallowed. And as I have said and as now has come out, my predecessors did the same thing and many other people in the government.
I haven't done years of diversity training, so sometimes I say things which are probably tactless, and I don't mean to, to be honest, I don't mean to do that.
I'm amused when Congress tries to place the blame on somebody but never themselves. I've never heard any of them ever say, 'I've made a mistake.' I do. I say I called it wrong. But they just try to find somebody to blame.
I think the most important thing to do is to be willing to listen, willing to care, and willing to admit mistakes and change your ways for the better!
I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers.. I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
I have made mistakes in the past, but when I have, I have always said so.
I don't know what else I can say. I have never taken steroids. For people who think I took steroids intentionally, I'm never going to convince them. But I hope the voters judge my career fairly and don't look at one mistake.
We made only one real mistake. And even then we were right.
First, recognize the mistake. The main thing is taking responsibility and being authentic.
I made a mistake. I should've had two accounts, one for personal and one for office. And I didn't, and I take responsibility for that.
Have I ever made a mistake? I am sure. Do I think I can stand on my record? I do.
A cardinal rule of bureaucracy is that it is better to extend an error than to admit a mistake.
I'm not saying I won't make a mistake throughout the game.
It's especially hard to admit that you made a mistake to your parents, because, of course, you know so much more than they do.
When you make a mistake, you have to admit it.
The coach needs to understand, when he's not teaching something the right way or he sees something wrong, he's got to be able to admit to his mistakes.
I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.
I'd like to think I am a good coach but I've called bad plays. I've coached bad practices. I've made bad substitution choices.
I have a no-apology policy. No apologies for jokes. I apologize in my real life all the time. I say ridiculous things, I make mistakes constantly. But when I'm on stage, I'm at a microphone... it's a joke!
When you make a mistake, don't make a second one -- keeping it to yourself. Own up. The time to sort out rotten eggs is at the nest. The deeper you hide them in the case the longer they stay in circulation, and the worse impression they make when they finally come to the breakfast table.
By admitting a mistake, it is easier to get yourself out of a spiral.
