LIFE LESSON- WHEN AND HOW TO APOLOGIZE

One key to getting along well with people is knowing when to say you're sorry. Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt or offend others. Heavy workloads and stress may keep us from seeing how our actions make others feel. The little things can add up. It doesn't take long for someone to hold a grudge and for grudges to grow into conflicts. In most cases, if someone is offended by something you do or say, it's much better to apologize right away. That solves the small problem and keeps it from getting bigger.


It's hard to apologize. Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride. Sometimes we just don't know how to do it. Here are some tips that may make it easier to say you're sorry.


Take responsibility. The first step in apologizing is to admit to yourself that you have offended someone. You may know this right away, or the other person's reaction may let you know you have done something hurtful. But you must admit you have done wrong and accept responsibility for your actions.


Explain. It's important to let the person you hurt know that you didn't mean to do harm. At the same time, you must show that you take your mistake seriously. Recognize that your actions caused a problem for the other person.


Show your regret. The other person needs to see that you have suffered, too. Come right out and say you are sorry or ashamed. I felt bad the minute I told your secret. I'm ashamed of myself.


Repair the damage. To be complete, an apology must correct the injury. If you damaged someone's property, offer to fix it. If the damage isn't so obvious, ask What can I do to make it up to you? There may be nothing concrete you can do, but the offer must be sincere. I'll try to keep my mouth shut in the future. Meantime, let me buy you a cup of coffee. Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift.


Use good timing. Apologize right away for little things. For example, if you bump into someone, say you're sorry right away. Don't wait until the next day to apologize. However, if you have done something more serious, like insult a friend, your apology should be more thoughtful. A quick apology might seem phony. Take the time to sit down, look the person in the eye, and apologize honestly.


It's not about who "won" or who "lost." It's about keeping a strong friendship.

Timbaland feat. Daughtry - Long Way Down



Long Way Down Lyrics


Traveled all around the world to be with you

You never know where the open road will lead you to

I crawl before I walk, still got nowhere fast

The other side still has the greener grass

Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah

Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there



I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up ain't as easy as it sounds

I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up is just something I can do without

Something I can do without



I walked until I didn't have no energy

I bought until I didn't have no bite left in me

I died so that I didn't have to live in the past

But the other side still had the greener grass

Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah

Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there



I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up ain't as easy as it sounds

I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up is just something I can do without

Something I can do without



Put your hands up yeah, Put your hands up yeah

Put your hands up yeah, Something I can do without



I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up ain't as easy as it sounds

I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up is just something I can do without

Just something I can do without, oh yeah



Something I can do without, Something I can do without

Something I can do without, Something I can do without

Something I can do without, Something I can do without

Something I can do without, out, out, out, that's it

Mario Poses For PETA Advertisement "Ink Not Mink"




The advertisement of Mario on PETA is expected to raise the concern of people about indiscriminate animal slaughter. Apart from Mario, several other celebrities have posed for advertisements of PETA so that they can save the life of animals and give them an independent life. PETA has adopted several steps to support wildlife and they consider that the appeals made by celebrities would benefit the innocent animals.

Tiger Woods shirtless and pumping iron in Vanity Fair

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


Here's Tiger Woods finally looking like the sex-crazed cad we know he is.

Showing off his guns and abs and glaring at the camera, Woods looks nothing like the good guy of the greens in the Annie Liebowitz shot gracing the cover of the latest Vanity Fair.

The menacing shot - never before seen - was taken in January 2006, long before the world learned the married father of two cheated on his wife with a harem of hotties.

In the accompanying article, Buzz Bissinger interviews some of the reporters who covered Woods for years to find out how the golf great kept his catting around under wraps for so long.



Bissinger also revisits the embarrassing interview that a then-21-year-old Woods gave to Charles Pierce of GQ magazine in 1997. Woods joked about lesbian sex and the endowments of black athletes - the kind of gaffe he never repeated once he signed with super agent Mark Steinberg.



Golf blogger Joe Logan says Woods listened to his handlers and became the Sphinx of the links.

"Tiger learned very well to talk forever and say nothing," Logan says.



Michael Bamberger of Sports Illustrated said that as a partly black man in a white man's game, Woods learned how to fly below the radar.

"What seems clear now is that he lived a very abnormal life all his life in a sport in which guys are very conventional," he says. "And if you are not conventional, you get ostracized right away."



Woods even kept other golfers at arm's length, "though he was always affable, never antagonistic," writes Bizzinger.

As the story hit newsstands on Wednesday, Elin Nordegren - Woods' scorned spouse - has been celebrating her 30th birthday far from her husband in the French Alps.



Although it has been widely reported that the Woods marriage is on the rocks and Nordegren has been photographed without her wedding ring, new photos purportedly showing the Swedish siren wearing her wedding bank surfaced and sowed more confusion in the ever-evolving Tiger Tale.


Nordegren, however, has an indentical twin sister - and she too, has a wedding ring. It could not be determined which sister was photographed with the bling.

Woods has been laying low since the scandal broke Thansgiving weekend.




Nordegren has reportedly told pals that her philandering husband left a cool $300 million in her Christmas stocking.

The report, in Britain's News of the World, said it's all part of Nordegren's plan to get hers - and keep their two kids in comfort - in a coming divorce battle.



Woods has not seen his two children - Sam, 2, and 10-month-old Charlie - for more than a month and had to mail them their Christmas presents, a source told the paper.

Photographs in The Daily News over the weekend captured a carefree Nordegren hitting the slopes at France's Chamonix ski resort, a wintry wonderland where the rooms cost $8,000-a-night.
