Simplified Meaning:

When you make a mistake, it's important to own up to it right away and with confidence. Doing this can help fix the problem faster and show others that you're responsible and honest. Think about a time when someone broke a glass at a friend's house. If they quickly said, "I broke the glass, I'm really sorry and I'll help clean it up," everyone would appreciate their honesty and willingness to help. It shows good character and makes it easier to move on. Waiting too long to admit the mistake or trying to hide it can often lead to bigger problems and make people lose trust in you. So, be straightforward and sincere when you mess up; it's better for everyone and helps build stronger relationships.
