This is my story where Sorry saved the situation

Hello everyone On this occasion I want to join a contest held by @ngoenyi
about Week #2 Contest Alert: Tell your story - Sorry! A Word That Unites
following my previous entry I would like to invite my friends @bossj23, @deetalka6 and @basil20 to participate in this contest

That morning, I was in a hurry to finish my work at home before going to take my wife to the madrasah. As usual, I checked notifications on Steemit, uploaded some posts, then helped prepare my wife's needs. Time went by quickly, and I realized we were almost late.
In a hurry I took the motorbike key as my wife still was busy packing books.

Hurry, we have to go now the high pitched tones while I was in panic mode.

My wife put her head slightly sideways with surprise, yet made effort to increase speed. When I was about to leave the house and walking towards the motorbike I experienced a chill running down my spine — no helmet. I went back into the house like a deer in headlights, grabbed the helmet and sprinted outside. That I was wrong so early in the game and said, as I gave it to him, “I’m sorry I was in such a hurry.

He nodded, helmet in hand and murmured, “Okay, but next time at least be a little less hasty, we can actually plan and schedule our time better.

The apology was simple, but I knew that without it the morning could possibly have been a lot worse than just getting grounded. I just could have said I was stressed to be early and chose to admit being in a hurry made him uncomfortable. With that one word it changed from a rather awkward moment, to something much more light.

Lessons I Learned
I also realized that saying sorry is not just about owning your mistake but it is about appreciating other peoples feelings. Sometime, we do not intend to hurt but the way we verbalize or act in a panicked state could practically make the people around us feel uncomfortable.

How Can I Avoid Doing That in the Future?

Improve My Time Management – I would begin doing ALL prep work in advance so that way it would just be less stress on the day of.

Get A Handle on My Voice — I found that taking a deep breath and using my words more softly.

Pay More Attention To Other People Feelings — Unfortunately it’s not only what we do that is so important our manner of communicating something triggers.

Since then, I am more mindful of speaking (mostly in a hurry) situation. You have to say sorry if the save the moment, but better we draw a lesson that such an avoidable flaw not repeat itself.
