5 ways to be like Lionel Messi

#2 Plead ignorance to show innocence

So say that you are someone who works at an office, just like many people in this world. Actually, scratch that. You are someone who works, regardless of where, and have made a huge mistake which could actually see you rot in jail for a while.

The mistake is so apparent that one would claim that you are lying if you say that you are innocent. How do you cover up now?

Simple: you don’t. You plead ignorance, that you didn’t know how to switch on the computer and hence smashed it open, or that you weren’t aware of the fact that acid is dangerous before splashing it on someone’s face.

Whatever your mistake may be, just admit it without using the word ‘innocent’; claim ignorance and try to sell it as innocence.
