primary school, and I made a
mistake, I would try hard to
erase it before submitting to my
teacher.
Sometimes, I used chalk to clean
my mistake but it later re-
appeared.
So I began to use saliva, it
worked, but only to leave holes
on my books.
My teachers then used to beat
me for being outrageously dirty.
But all I tried to do was to
Cover My Error.
One day, a kindhearted teacher
who loved me so much called me
aside and he said, **"Anytime you
make a mistake, just cross it and
move on" **.
He said further "Trying to erase
your mistakes would only
damage your book to nothing".
I told him in protest that I don't
want people to see my mistake.
My loving teacher laughed and
said "Trying to erase your
mistake will make more people
know about your mess and the
stigma is for life".
Have you made some mistakes in
life?
CROSS IT OVER AND MOVE ON.
Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.
Better things are ahead of you!
Embrace your mistakes to grow in life. Great post.
Very true...
