　　One fine afternoon l was walking along Fifth Street，when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks．Why l wished to buy only one pair was unimportant．I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye，and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward，“What can I do for you，sir？”“I wish to buy a pair of socks，”His eyes shone．There was a note of excitement in his voice，“Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？”I had no idea of that，as my entrance had been accidental．“Come with me，”said the boy，eagerly．I followed him to the back of the shop，and he began to pull down from the shelves box after box showing their contents for my choice．

　　“Hold on，lad，l am going to buy only one pair！”“I know that，”said he，“but I want you to see how beautiful these are．Aren't they wonderful！” There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing to me the secrets of his religion．I became far more interested in him than in the socks．I looked at him in amazement．“My friend，”。Said I，“if you can keep this up，if this is not merely from having a new job，if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day，in ten years you will own every sock in the United States．

How do apology languages work? Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “language” , that was foreign to your listener．The five languages of apology include:
Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”
List the hurtful effects of your action．Not “I am sorry if …”, but “I am sorry that…”．You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.
Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.”
Name your mistake and accept fault．Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.
Apology Language 3: “ What can I do to make it right?”
How are you now? How shall I make amends(弥补) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?
Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”
Engage in problem-solving．Don’t make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so…” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again．
Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”
Be patient in seeking forgiveness．They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.
Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch of peace.
