Four Sentences that lead to Wisdom

buryI just finished a fantastic book titled Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny. It’s a Murder Mystery set in and around Montreal. The main character is a Chief Inspector named Armand Gamache. In the book, Mr. Gamache mentions four sentences that lead to wisdom that were passed on to him by his mentor. They are so concise and dead on that I felt compelled to share them with you. They are:

  • I’m sorry
  • I was wrong
  • I need help
  • I don’t know

If we can learn say these four sentences honestly when situations call for them, it will make our relationships stronger and each of us a better person.
