When I started using Biro in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it. Sometimes I would use chalk, but later it would reappear. So I began to use saliva, it worked only to leave holes in my book.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was cover my errors. One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside.
“Stephen, anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on. Trying to erase it would only damage your book”.
“But, I don’t want people to see my mistake and laugh at me”, I protested.
“Trying to erase it will make more people know about your mess, and the stigma is for life”
Have you made a mistake, cross it and move on.
Don’t try to create more irredeemable errors by trying within your power to erase it.
To error is human.
