　　Shall we acknowledge our mistakes actively?

　　參考范文：

　　When we make mistakes, we will feel embarrassed and shameful. However, sometimes we won’t acknowledge our mistakes actively especially when our mistakes are involved with others .We tend to think that I won’t commit the same mistake any more and there is no need to acknowledge the mistakes.

　　Is there no need to acknowledge our mistakes? Definitely no. There are two reasons to account for this. Firstly, acknowledging our mistakes actively represents a kind of attitude which indicates that we have realized the mistakes and we will be responsible for it. Secondly, when we say “sorry, it’s my fault” to our partners or to the person involved with our mistakes, they will forget the harm or loss our mistakes bring them and will continue cooperation and connection with us because they regard that we can shoulder the responsibility. Otherwise, we will leave a bad impression on them.

　　All in all, it is not embarrassed to acknowledge our mistakes. Instead, acknowledging our mistakes actively reflects our responsible attitude and can leave a good impressions on others.
