Hi Page. Your post brought back memories of my childhood years and the golden rule that my parents had for me and my sister. If we had done something wrong or goofed up, then admit it and not to cover it up if we were caught, the consequences were no parties, cut in pocket money and a good lecture!

On the other hand, if we owned up, there was always a warmhearted parent willing to listen to us as we explained where we were coming from and guidance to avoid future goof-ups.

Taking ownership of our faults opens avenues for guidance and mentoring to get it right the next time round and the absence of the burden of carrying guilt on our shoulders. Thanks for sharing, Page.
