1、TranslationUnit 1No doubt everyone has to apologize for his life, sooner or later. When we appear at the Last Judgment and the Recording Angel reads out a list of our sins, we will presumably be given an opportunity to apologize, in the old sense of rebuttal and in the new sense too, by way of confe
2、ssion and plea of repentance. In this life, it is better to apologize (in the new sense), but promptly, voluntarily, fully and sincerely. If the error is a matter of opinion and un-punishable, so much the better an apology then becomes a gracious and creditable occasion, and an example to all. An en
3、forced apology is a miserable affair. Besides, there is something distinguished about a ready apology. It is a mark of a gentleman, more particularly if it is not necessary. It is the opposite of revenge. Bacon wrote, “In seeking revenge, a man is but equal with his enemy, but in forgiving him, he i
4、s superior, for it is a princes part to pardon.” So, the person who apologizes freely has the moral ball in his court. 毋庸置疑，任何人,或迟或早，都要为自己的一生辩护当我们出席最后的审判时，记录天使 诵读出所罗列的我们的罪孽，我们作了忏悔并请求宽恕，这样大概会被给予辩白(这个词的 老义)和表示歉意(它的新义)的机会. 在今生中，道歉(新义)是桩对的事， 但是要做到及时、 要心甘情愿、要完完全全、要诚心诚意。如果过错是看法上的事， 并且错不当罚， 那最 好不过说一声 “对不起”

6、这就是为 什么许多平庸的公司雇员在大调整中保住了位置，而有才能的人反而下岗。因为他们很注 意处理各方面的关系，所以八面玲珑，到处有缘。而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。 碰到错误，他们首先想到自己，拒不承认自己有错，或情绪低落或大发雷霆，成为有刺的 人，难以相处。 Sometimes it is interpersonal skills rather than professional skills that really count in your career. Interpersonal skills are nothing but the ability to be good lis
7、tener, to be sensitive toward others needs, to take criticism well. People with skill in social relations admit their mistakes, and take their share of blame, which is a mature and responsible way to handle an error. Thats why many ordinary employees survive violent corporate upheavals while people
