Back then in my primary school days, when I started making use of "pen"; whenever I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher. Sometimes, I used chalk to clean my mistakes but it later reappeared when the chalk dust cleaned off. What I did then as a remedy was to use my saliva: it worked, but only to leave holes in my books. My teacher then would beat me for being outrageously dirty: but all I tried to do was to cover my errors.
On a good day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much, called me aside and said,
"Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on"
"Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing"
"Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life"
I never understood it until now.
Have you made some mistakes in life?
