One of the virtues that many people appreciate in others is the readiness to own up to one's mistakes. It is exceptionally challenging at times to utter a simple phrase such as "I was wrong about that"， and it is even more arduous to admit， "I was wrong， and you were correct about that."

An Unforgettable Experience

I had a recent encounter where someone confessed to me that they had made a blunder fifteen years ago. This individual informed me that they had been the supervisor of a specific grocery store in the neighborhood where I spent my childhood， and they inquired if I recalled the egg boxes. Subsequently， they recounted an incident， and I began to recollect hazily the event they were depicting.

I was approximately eight years old then， and I had accompanied my mother to the store for the weekly grocery shopping expedition. On that particular day， I must have found my way to the dairy section where the incident occurred.

There must have been a special promotion on eggs that day as there was an imposing display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were piled three or four feet high. I must have halted in front of the display to admire the stacks. Just then， a lady came along pushing her shopping cart and knocked down the stacks of boxes. For some cause， I decided it was my responsibility to restore the display， so I set to work.

The manager heard the commotion and rushed over to ascertain what had transpired. When he showed up， I was on my knees inspecting some of the boxes to check if any of the eggs were broken， but to him， it seemed as if I was the offender. He harshly rebuked me and demanded that I compensate for any cracked eggs. I endeavored to explain that it wasn't me who had shattered them， but to no avail. Even though I promptly forgot all about the incident， evidently， the manager did not.
