Last week, a guy in my business complex broke the mirror off of my car. He ran into it with his hip and it just popped off. I come back from a 2 mile run to find my mirror and a note laying on my windshield. I called him and we settled it like civilized human beings. I purchased a new mirror from the local parts store and he wrote me a check for it. Problem solved.

I can't help but think how many people would have just run away like a coward. I know a few people who have had scratches or dents come upon their car without someone owning up to it. I keep speaking in terms of autos here, but this applies to life in any aspect. If you do something wrong at work, own up to it. If you get a bad grade on an exam, just own up to it. There's no need to pretend like it didn't happen, because it did and someone will eventually find out about it. Just do the right thing, people will respect you more for it.
