This is show 272, and our topic today is \u201cThe Apology Culture\u201d. Are you the kind of person who easily and quickly apologizes? Or do you have a sleepless night when you know that you should apologize to your boss the next morning? Making mistakes may be painful, but it is the fastest way towards getting it right. Some people can admit their mistakes quite easily, they apologize and move forward. On the other hand, there are people who are stuck in their guilt for what they have done; people, who find it very hard to say sorry to others, and sometimes, even to forgive themselves. Is there any universal formula for how to apologize properly? Are there any paths for moving from guilt to self-improvement more quickly?\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely absent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our first category, \u201cabsolutely absent\u201d, Lars from Germany shares with us how he forgot to attend an important business meeting with his team and this almost cost him his job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely forgiven<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our second category, \u201cabsolutely forgiven\u201d, Safi, a student from a German-Libyan family, tells us about an embarrassing situation where he had forgotten to cancel a one-to-one zoom meeting with his university lecturer. However, as he apologized very thoroughly, his lecturer was so disarmed by his honesty, that Safi was completely forgiven.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely guilty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our last category, \u201cabsolutely guilty\u201d, Fernanda, a former medical student from Mexico tells us about how terribly sad and guilty she felt when a patient had died in her care in a very busy emergency room.<\/p>\n<p>What about you?
