We should listen to the voice of conscience. It does not take nearly as much courage as one might think to admit to our mistakes and learn from them. Human beings are in this world to learn and to change themselves in learning.

About This Quote

When people are wrong, they do not need to try to pretend that they are right. They need to admit their mistake and learn from it. We all make mistakes but for some reason people just don’t want to admit that they made a mistake. We think that if we deny it then we won’t have to admit that we are wrong. However, the truth is that when we keep repeating the same mistake, we will never learn from it or feel that it is wrong.
